1 Así que yo los animo, mis hermanos y hermanas, por la compasión de Dios por ustedes, que dediquen sus cuerpos como una ofrenda viva que es santa y agradable a Dios. Esta es la manera lógica de adorar. 2 No sigan los caminos de este mundo; por el contrario, sean transformados por la renovación espiritual de sus mentes, a fin de que puedan demostrar cómo es realmente la voluntad de Dios: buena, agradable, y perfecta. 3 Déjenme explicarles a todos ustedes, por la gracia que se ha dado, que ninguno debería tener un concepto de sí mismo más alto que el que debería tener. Ustedes deben tener un autoconcepto realista, conforme a la medida de fe que Dios les ha dado. 4 Así como hay muchas partes del cuerpo, pero no todas hacen lo mismo, 5 del mismo modo nosotros somos un cuerpo en Cristo, aunque somos muchos. Y todos somos parte de los otros. 6 Cada uno tiene dones diferentes, que varían conforme a la gracia que se nos ha dado. De modo que si el don consiste en hablar de Dios, entonces debes hacerlo conforme a tu medida de fe en Dios. 7 Si se trata del ministerio del servicio, entonces debes servir; si se trata de enseñar, debes enseñar; 8 si el don consiste en animar a otros, entonces debes animar; si el don consiste en dar, entonces da generosamente; si es el don del liderazgo, entonces lidera con compromiso; si el don consiste en ser misericordioso, entonces hazlo con alegría. 9 El amor debe ser genuino. Odien lo malo; aférrense a lo bueno. 10 Dedíquense por completo unos a otros en su amor como familia, valorando a los demás más que a ustedes mismos. 11 No sean perezosos para el trabajo arduo; sirvan al Señor con un espíritu entusiasta. 12 Permanezcan alegres en la esperanza que tienen, soporten las pruebas que se presenten, y no dejen de orar. 13 Participen en la provisión para las necesidades del pueblo de Dios, y reciban con hospitalidad a los extranjeros. 14 Bendigan a quienes los persiguen, bendíganlos y no los maldigan. 15 Alégrense con los que estén alegres; lloren con los que lloran. 16 Piensen los unos en los otros. No se consideren ustedes mismos más importantes que los demás; vivan humildemente. No sean arrogantes. 17 No paguen mal por mal. Asegúrense de demostrar a todos que lo que hacen es bueno, 18 y en cuanto esté de parte de ustedes, vivan en paz con todos. 19 Queridos amigos, no procuren la venganza, más bien dejen que Dios sea quien haga juicio—tal como señala la Escritura: “‘Es a mí a quien corresponde administrar la justicia, yo pagaré,’ dice el Señor”. 20 Si quien los odia tiene hambre, denle de comer; si tiene sed, denle de beber; pues al hacer esto acumulan carbones ardientes sobre sus cabezas. 21 No sean vencidos por el mal, sino conquisten el mal con el bien.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 12:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Romans (Homily XX)

    After discoursing at large upon the love of God toward man, and pointing out His unspeakable concern for us, and unutterable goodness, which cannot even be searched into, he next puts it forward with a view of persuading those who have received the benefit to exhibit a conversation worthy of the gift.

  2. Quotes verse 12:5 Clement of Rome, First Epistle to the Corinthians (Chapters XLVI–LII)

    Why do we divide and tear to pieces the members of Christ, and raise up strife against our own body, and have reached such a height of madness as to forget that "we are members one of another?" Remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, how He said, "Woe to that man [by whom offences come]!

  3. Quotes verse 12:16 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book V, Chapter XIX)

    … pride, nor should we tempt God, but should feel humility in all things, and have ready to hand [this saying], "Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God." As also the apostle taught, saying, "Minding not high things, but consenting to things of low estate;" that we should neither be ensnared with riches, nor mundane glory, nor present fancy, but …

  4. Quotes verse 12:11 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VI)

    … this custom had it been forbidden by another whom she loved not as Ambrose, whom, out of regard for my salvation, she loved most dearly; and he loved her truly, on account of her most religious conversation, whereby, in good works so "fervent in spirit," she frequented the church; so that he would often, when he saw me, burst forth …

    When we do so as avenging ourselves: which Paul also forbidding, said "Avenge not yourselves, dearly beloved, but rather give place unto wrath." When we are contending for riches: yea, for this hath he also taken away, where he saith, "Why do ye not rather take wrong?
