| 1 | Give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. | |
| 2 | Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. | |
| 3 | Don’t 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 | So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. | |
| 5 | If your gift is serving others, serve them well. | |
| 6 | If you are a teacher, teach well. | |
| 7 | If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. | |
| 8 | If it is giving, give generously. | |
| 9 | If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. | |
| 10 | If you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. | |
| 11 | Don’t just pretend to love others. You should really love them. | |
| 12 | Hate what is wrong. | |
| 13 | Hold tightly to what is good. | |
| 14 | Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. | |
| 15 | Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. | |
| 16 | Rejoice in our confident hope. | |
| 17 | Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. | |
| 18 | When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. | |
| 19 | Always be eager to practice hospitality. | |
| 20 | Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. | |
| 21 | Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. | |
| 22 | Live in harmony with each other. | |
| 23 | Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. | |
| 24 | Don’t think you know it all! | |
| 25 | Never pay back evil with more evil. | |
| 26 | Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. | |
| 27 | Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone. | |
| 28 | Never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. | |
| 29 | If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. | |
| 30 | Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good. | |
| 31 | Respect for Authority | |
| 32 | Everyone must submit to governing authorities. | |
| 33 | Give to everyone what you owe them. | |
| 34 | Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them. | |
| 35 | Give respect and honor to those who are in authority. | |
| 36 | Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. | |
| 37 | Love your neighbor as yourself. | |
| 38 | Remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. | |
| 39 | Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and envy. | |
| 40 | Clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. | |
| 41 | Don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires. | |
| 42 | Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong. | |
| 43 | Those who feel free to eat anything must not look down on those who don’t. | |
| 44 | Those who don’t eat certain foods must not condemn those who do. | |
| 45 | Stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall. | |
| 46 | Let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up. | |
| 47 | It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything else if it might cause another believer to stumble. | |
| 48 | We who are strong must be considerate of those who are sensitive about things like this. | |
| 49 | We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord. | |
| 50 | Accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory. |
