Romans 12:1-8  (New King James Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Living Sacrifices to God<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

12 <\/span>I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is<\/i> your reasonable service. <\/span>2 <\/sup>And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is<\/i> that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serve God with Spiritual Gifts<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

3 <\/sup>For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself<\/i> more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. <\/span>4 <\/sup>For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, <\/span>5 <\/sup>so we, being<\/i> many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. <\/span>6 <\/sup>Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them:<\/i> if prophecy, let us prophesy<\/i> in proportion to our faith; <\/span>7 <\/sup>or ministry, let us use it<\/i> in our<\/i> ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; <\/span>8 <\/sup>he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genesis 29:31:35  (New King James Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Children of Jacob<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

31 <\/sup>When the Lord<\/span> saw that Leah was<\/i> unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel was<\/i> barren. <\/span>32 <\/sup>So Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, \u201cThe Lord<\/span> has surely looked on my affliction. Now therefore, my husband will love me.\u201d <\/span>33 <\/sup>Then she conceived again and bore a son, and said, \u201cBecause the Lord<\/span> has heard that I am<\/i> unloved, He has therefore given me this son<\/i> also.\u201d And she called his name Simeon. <\/span>34 <\/sup>She conceived again and bore a son, and said, \u201cNow this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.\u201d Therefore his name was called Levi. <\/span>35 <\/sup>And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, \u201cNow I will praise the Lord<\/span>.\u201d Therefore she called his name Judah. Then she stopped bearing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
