Romans 121-5 (ESV)

• I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the
  mercies of God, to present your bodies as a
  living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God,
  which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be
  conformed to this world, but be transformed by
  the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may
  discern what is the will of God, what is good and
  acceptable and perfect.

11
Romans 121-5 (ESV)

• 3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone
  among you not to think of himself more highly
  than he ought to think, but to think with sober
  judgment, each according to the measure of faith
  that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we
  have many members, and the members do not all
  have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are
  one body in Christ, and individually members one
  of another.

12
Romans 121-5 (NLT)

• And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with
  you to give your bodies to God because of all he
  has done for you. Let them be a living and holy
  sacrificethe kind he will find acceptable. This
  is truly the way to worship him. 2 Dont copy the
  behavior and customs of this world, but let God
  transform you into a new person by changing the
  way you think. Then you will learn to know Gods
  will for you, which is good and pleasing and
  perfect.

13
Romans 121-5 (NLT)

• 3 Because of the privilege and authority God has
  given me, I give each of you this warning Dont
  think you are better than you really are. Be
  honest in your evaluation of yourselves,
  measuring yourselves by the faith God has given
  us. 4 Just as our bodies have many parts and each
  part has a special function, 5 so it is with
  Christs body. We are many parts of one body, and
  we all belong to each other.

14
Romans 121-5 (GWT)

• Brothers and sisters, in view of all we have
  just shared about Gods compassion, I encourage
  you to offer your bodies as living sacrifices,
  dedicated to God and pleasing to him. This kind
  of worship is appropriate for you. 2 Dont become
  like the people of this world. Instead, change
  the way you think. Then you will always be able
  to determine what God really wantswhat is good,
  pleasing, and perfect.

15
Romans 121-5 (GWT)

• 3 Because of the kindness that God has shown me,
  I ask you not to think of yourselves more highly
  than you should. Instead, your thoughts should
  lead you to use good judgment based on what God
  has given each of you as believers. 4 Our bodies
  have many parts, but these parts dont all do the
  same thing. 5 In the same way, even though we are
  many individuals, Christ makes us one body and
  individuals who are connected to each other.
