12 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 (shaped or fashioned) to this world (age): but be ye transformed (alter one’s bearing) by the renewing (renovation) of your mind (the organ of moral thinking), that ye may prove(to your proving) what is that (the) good, and acceptable (well pleasing), and perfect, (desired) will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace (undeserved favor) given unto me, to every man (one) that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly (unto the being of a sound mind; without enthusiasm, without intemperate passion, cooly), according as God hath dealt (imparted) to (each and) every man (one) the measure (standard) of (the) 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 (severally) members one of another.
