Dedicated Service

12 Therefore ^(A)I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to ^(B)present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, ^[a]acceptable to God, which is your ^[b]spiritual service of worship.

⁵ and this, not as we had ^[a]expected, but they first ^(A)gave themselves to the Lord and to us by ^(B)the will of God.
