AI-assisted, sourcedRomans 12:9-21Love without dissimulation
About Romans 12"By the mercies of God," Paul urges, "present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God," and "be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind." Each should think soberly, for "we, being many, are one body in Christ," with "gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us." "Let love be without dissimulation," he writes, "Bless them which persecute you," "Recompense to no man evil for evil," "avenge not yourselves," feed your enemy, and "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."
