Derfor ber jeg dere, brødre, ved Guds barmhjertighet, at dere gir kroppen deres som et levende offer, hellig og godt for Gud, noe som er den rette gudstjenesten for dere.
For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.
