Introduction
Such displays of God's mercy as Jews and Gentiles have received should induce them to consecrate themselves to Him; and not be conformed to the world, Romans 12:1 , Romans 12:2 . Christians are exhorted to think meanly of themselves, Romans 12:3 . And each to behave himself properly in the office which he has received from God, Romans 12:4-8 ; Various important moral duties recommended, Romans 12:9-18 . We must not avenge ourselves, but overcome evil with good, Romans 12:19-21 .
