Romans 12 can be outlined as such:
1. Relationship to God Vs. 1-2.
2. Self concept Vs. 3-8.
3. Relationship to others Vs. 9-21.
I recommend reading the entire book of Romans several times. Everything from chapter 1 to chapter 11 provides a foundation for understanding chapter 12. The “therefore” in the first verse is calling to mind everything in the book prior to it. But it is not my intent to do a study of the whole book, only of chapter 12.
This chapter has the believer in mind; we see that from verse one as it calls on “brethren”. Verse one and two are the building blocks for verse 3-8, as they are the building blocks for verses 9-21. Verses three through eight describe how we fit into the church and interact with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Verses nine through twenty one describe how we get along with those outside of the church.
