KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 12 of 16

1 Therefore, brothers, I call on you through the compassions of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, in order to prove by you what is the good and pleasing and perfect will of God.

3 For through the grace having been given to me, I say to every one being among you, not to think too highly beyond what is right to think. But think to be of sound mind, even as God divided a measure of faith to each one.
