Romans 12:1-16:24
Premises
Premise
Believers must not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of their mind.
Premise
Each person should not think more highly than he ought, but think reasonably according to the measure of faith God apportioned.
Premise
As one body has many members with different functions, so the many believers are one body in Christ and members of one another.
Premise
Love must be without hypocrisy; believers are to honor one another, be diligent, hopeful, patient, prayerful, generous, hospitable, bless persecutors, sympathize, and be humble.
Premise
Rulers are not a terror to good work but to evil; they are God's servants for good and avengers for wrath on him who does evil.
Premise
Salvation is nearer now than when believers first believed; the night is far gone and the day is near.
Premise
Nothing is unclean of itself, except to him who considers anything unclean, to him it is unclean.
Premise
God's Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Premise
Whatever is not of faith is sin; he who doubts is condemned if he eats because it is not of faith.
Premise
The strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak and not please themselves, for Christ did not please himself.
Conditionals
Conditional
If a person has the gift of prophecy, he should prophesy according to the proportion of his faith.
Conditional
If it is possible, as much as depends on them, believers are to be at peace with all men.
Conditional
If an enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink, for in doing so coals of fire are heaped on his head.
Conditional
If a person does good, he will have praise from the authority and have no fear of it.
Conditional
If a person does evil, he should be afraid, for the ruler does not bear the sword in vain as God's servant for wrath.
Conditional
If a brother is grieved because of food, the one eating no longer walks in love.
Conclusions
Conclusion
Paul urges believers to present their bodies as a living, holy, acceptable sacrifice to God.
Conclusion
By this renewal they may prove what is God's good, well-pleasing, and perfect will.
Conclusion
Whoever resists authority withstands God's ordinance and will receive judgment.
Conclusion
Therefore one must be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake.
Conclusion
Therefore believers should give everyone what is owed: taxes, customs, respect, and honor.
Conclusion
Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Conclusion
Therefore believers should throw off the deeds of darkness, put on the armor of light, walk properly, and put on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Conclusion
Therefore the eater should not despise the non-eater, nor the non-eater judge the eater.
Conclusion
Therefore believers should not judge one another anymore, but rather not put a stumbling block in a brother's way.
Conclusion
So then believers should follow after things which make for peace and build one another up.
Conclusion
Therefore believers are to accept one another, even as Christ also accepted them, to the glory of God.
Conclusion
Paul urges believers to look out for and turn away from those causing divisions contrary to the doctrine they learned, for such people serve their own belly and deceive the innocent by smooth speech.
