Romans 12
1. God's mercies must move us to offer ourselves.
3. No man must think too well of himself;
6. but everyone attend to the calling wherein he is placed.
9. Love, and many other duties are required of us.
19. Revenge is especially forbidden.














(5) In Christ.--Christ is the unifying principle in the Church, just as the personality or will is the unifying principle in man.

Every one.--A somewhat peculiar phrase in the Greek, not found in this form in classical writers, meaning "as individuals."

Members one of another.--Strictly speaking, the members are called members in their relation to the body, and not in their relation to each other. We should say, rather, "fellow-members with one another."
