Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
    • B 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
      • C 3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
        • D 4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
          • E 5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
        • D' 6a Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us,
      • C' 6b–8 whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
    • B' 9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
  • A' 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another.
