Living Sacrifices[ 1 Corinthians 3:16–23 1 Corinthians 6:18–20 ]

[1] I beseech2 you therefore, brethren, by the3 mercies of God, that ye4 present your bodies a living5 sacrifice, holy, acceptable6 unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. [2] And be not7 conformed to this world: but be ye8 transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove9 what [is] that good10, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. [3] For I say11, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to12 think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly13, according14 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:15 [5] So we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.16 [6] Having then17 gifts differing according18 to the grace that is given to us, whether19 prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion20 of faith; [7] Or ministry21, [let us wait] on [our] ministering: or he22 that teacheth, on teaching; [8] Or he that exhorteth23, on exhortation: he that giveth24, [let him do it] with simplicity25; he that ruleth26, with diligence27; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Love, Zeal, Hope, Hospitality[ John 13:31–35 1 John 3:11–24 ]

[9] [Let] love28 be without dissimulation. Abhor29 that which is evil; cleave30 to that which is good. [10] [Be] kindly31 affectioned one to another with brotherly love32; in honour33 preferring one another; [11] Not slothful34 in business; fervent35 in spirit; serving36 the Lord; [12] Rejoicing37 in hope; patient38 in tribulation; continuing39 instant in prayer; [13] Distributing40 to the necessity of saints; given41 to hospitality.

Forgiveness[ Matthew 18:21–35 ]

[14] Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.42 [15] Rejoice43 with them that do rejoice, and weep44 with them that weep. [16] [Be] of the45 same mind46 one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate47. Be not48 wise in your own conceits. [17] Recompense49 to no man evil for evil. Provide50 things honest in the sight of all men. [18] If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.51 [19] Dearly beloved, avenge52 not yourselves, but [rather] give53 place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance54 [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. [20] Therefore if thine55 enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals56 of fire on his head. [21] Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. 57
