1 I abeseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies ba living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your2 reasonable service.  
2 And ado not be conformed to this world, but bbe transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may cprove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.  

Serve God with Spiritual Gifts

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

Romans 12:2

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world. The spirit of the world is opposed to that of Christ. Satan is "the Prince of this world (John 12:31 14:30 16:11). Christ died "to deliver us from this present wicked world" (Galatians 1:4). Hence the service of Christ renders necessary a refusal to fashion ourselves after its ways. But be ye transformed. Instead of following the ways of the world, the Christian must be "transformed", changed into a new form of life by the renewing of your mind, by having a new spirit, and "walking after the Spirit" (Romans 8:1 Ga 5:16,25). That ye may prove. Demonstrate, show forth. The saint, transformed, renewed, will show forth in his life "the will of God".
