Needing Rules for Living :

​

Romans 12 . 

1) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

​

2) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

 

3) For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

​

4) For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

​

5) So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

​

6) Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

​

7) Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

​

8) Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

​

9) Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

​

10) Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

​

11) Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

​

12) Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

​

13) Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

​

14) Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

​

15) Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

​

16) Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

​

17) Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

​

18) If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

​

19) Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

​

20) Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

​

21) Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
