Romans 12
1 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.
παρακαλω ουν υμασ αδελφοι δια των οικτιρμων του θεου παραστησαι τα σωματα υμων θυσιαν ζωσαν αγιαν ευαρεστον τω θεω την λογικην λατρειαν υμων
2 And let not your behaviour be like that of this world, but be changed and made new in mind, so that by experience you may have knowledge of the good and pleasing and complete purpose of God. (aiōn g165)
και μη συσχηματιζεσθαι τω αιωνι τουτω αλλα μεταμορφουσθαι τη ανακαινωσει του νοοσ υμων εισ το δοκιμαζειν υμασ τι το θελημα του θεου το αγαθον και ευαρεστον και τελειον (aiōn g165)
3 But I say to every one of you, through the grace given to me, not to have an over-high opinion of himself, but to have wise thoughts, as God has given to every one a measure of faith.
λεγω γαρ δια τησ χαριτοσ τησ δοθεισησ μοι παντι τω οντι εν υμιν μη υπερφρονειν παρ ο δει φρονειν αλλα φρονειν εισ το σωφρονειν εκαστω ωσ ο θεοσ εμερισεν μετρον πιστεωσ
4 For, as we have a number of parts in one body, but all the parts have not the same use,
καθαπερ γαρ εν ενι σωματι μελη πολλα εχομεν τα δε μελη παντα ου την αυτην εχει πραξιν
5 So we, though we are a number of persons, are one body in Christ, and are dependent on one another;
ουτωσ οι πολλοι εν σωμα εσμεν εν χριστω ο δε καθ εισ αλληλων μελη
6 And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith;
εχοντεσ δε χαρισματα κατα την χαριν την δοθεισαν ημιν διαφορα ειτε προφητειαν κατα την αναλογιαν τησ πιστεωσ
7 Or the position of a Deacon of the church, let a man give himself to it; or he who has the power of teaching, let him make use of it;
ειτε διακονιαν εν τη διακονια ειτε ο διδασκων εν τη διδασκαλια
8 He who has the power of comforting, let him do so; he who gives, let him give freely; he who has the power of ruling, let him do it with a serious mind; he who has mercy on others, let it be with joy.
ειτε ο παρακαλων εν τη παρακλησει ο μεταδιδουσ εν απλοτητι ο προισταμενοσ εν σπουδη ο ελεων εν ιλαροτητι
9 Let love be without deceit. Be haters of what is evil; keep your minds fixed on what is good.
η αγαπη ανυποκριτοσ αποστυγουντεσ το πονηρον κολλωμενοι τω αγαθω
10 Be kind to one another with a brother's love, putting others before yourselves in honour;
τη φιλαδελφια εισ αλληλουσ φιλοστοργοι τη τιμη αλληλουσ προηγουμενοι
11 Be not slow in your work, but be quick in spirit, as the Lord's servants;
τη σπουδη μη οκνηροι τω πνευματι ζεοντεσ τω κυριω δουλευοντεσ
12 Being glad in hope, quiet in trouble, at all times given to prayer,
τη ελπιδι χαιροντεσ τη θλιψει υπομενοντεσ τη προσευχη προσκαρτερουντεσ
13 Giving to the needs of the saints, ready to take people into your houses.
ταισ χρειαισ των αγιων κοινωνουντεσ την φιλοξενιαν διωκοντεσ
14 Give blessing and not curses to those who are cruel to you.
ευλογειτε τουσ διωκοντασ υμασ ευλογειτε και μη καταρασθε
15 Take part in the joy of those who are glad, and in the grief of those who are sorrowing.
χαιρειν μετα χαιροντων και κλαιειν μετα κλαιοντων
16 Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.
το αυτο εισ αλληλουσ φρονουντεσ μη τα υψηλα φρονουντεσ αλλα τοισ ταπεινοισ συναπαγομενοι μη γινεσθε φρονιμοι παρ εαυτοισ
17 Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men.
μηδενι κακον αντι κακου αποδιδοντεσ προνοουμενοι καλα ενωπιον παντων ανθρωπων
18 As far as it is possible for you be at peace with all men.
ει δυνατον το εξ υμων μετα παντων ανθρωπων ειρηνευοντεσ
19 Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord.
μη εαυτουσ εκδικουντεσ αγαπητοι αλλα δοτε τοπον τη οργη γεγραπται γαρ εμοι εκδικησισ εγω ανταποδωσω λεγει κυριοσ
20 But if one who has hate for you is in need of food or of drink, give it to him, for in so doing you will put coals of fire on his head.
εαν ουν πεινα ο εχθροσ σου ψωμιζε αυτον εαν διψα ποτιζε αυτον τουτο γαρ ποιων ανθρακασ πυροσ σωρευσεισ επι την κεφαλην αυτου
21 Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good.
μη νικω υπο του κακου αλλα νικα εν τω αγαθω το κακον
