Romans 12
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your intelligent service.
he bhrātara īśvarasya kṛpayāhaṁ yuṣmān vinaye yūyaṁ svaṁ svaṁ śarīraṁ sajīvaṁ pavitraṁ grāhyaṁ balim īśvaramuddiśya samutsṛjata, eṣā sevā yuṣmākaṁ yogyā|
2 And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of [your] mind, that ye may prove what [is] the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (aiōn g165)
aparaṁ yūyaṁ sāṁsārikā iva mācarata, kintu svaṁ svaṁ svabhāvaṁ parāvartya nūtanācāriṇo bhavata, tata īśvarasya nideśaḥ kīdṛg uttamo grahaṇīyaḥ sampūrṇaśceti yuṣmābhiranubhāviṣyate| (aiōn g165)
3 For I say, through the grace which has been given to me, to every one that is among you, not to have high thoughts above what he should think; but to think so as to be wise, as God has dealt to each a measure of faith.
kaścidapi jano yogyatvādadhikaṁ svaṁ na manyatāṁ kintu īśvaro yasmai pratyayasya yatparimāṇam adadāt sa tadanusārato yogyarūpaṁ svaṁ manutām, īśvarād anugrahaṁ prāptaḥ san yuṣmākam ekaikaṁ janam ityājñāpayāmi|
4 For, as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office;
yato yadvadasmākam ekasmin śarīre bahūnyaṅgāni santi kintu sarvveṣāmaṅgānāṁ kāryyaṁ samānaṁ nahi;
5 thus we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and each one members one of the other.
tadvadasmākaṁ bahutve'pi sarvve vayaṁ khrīṣṭe ekaśarīrāḥ parasparam aṅgapratyaṅgatvena bhavāmaḥ|
6 But having different gifts, according to the grace which has been given to us, whether [it be] prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith;
asmād īśvarānugraheṇa viśeṣaṁ viśeṣaṁ dānam asmāsu prāpteṣu satsu kopi yadi bhaviṣyadvākyaṁ vadati tarhi pratyayasya parimāṇānusārataḥ sa tad vadatu;
7 or service, [let us occupy ourselves] in service; or he that teaches, in teaching;
yadvā yadi kaścit sevanakārī bhavati tarhi sa tatsevanaṁ karotu; athavā yadi kaścid adhyāpayitā bhavati tarhi so'dhyāpayatu;
8 or he that exhorts, in exhortation; he that gives, in simplicity; he that leads, with diligence; he that shews mercy, with cheerfulness.
tathā ya upadeṣṭā bhavati sa upadiśatu yaśca dātā sa saralatayā dadātu yastvadhipatiḥ sa yatnenādhipatitvaṁ karotu yaśca dayāluḥ sa hṛṣṭamanasā dayatām|
9 Let love be unfeigned; abhorring evil; cleaving to good:
aparañca yuṣmākaṁ prema kāpaṭyavarjitaṁ bhavatu yad abhadraṁ tad ṛtīyadhvaṁ yacca bhadraṁ tasmin anurajyadhvam|
10 as to brotherly love, kindly affectioned towards one another: as to honour, each taking the lead in paying it to the other:
aparaṁ bhrātṛtvapremnā parasparaṁ prīyadhvaṁ samādarād eko'parajanaṁ śreṣṭhaṁ jānīdhvam|
11 as to diligent zealousness, not slothful; in spirit fervent; serving the Lord.
tathā kāryye nirālasyā manasi ca sodyogāḥ santaḥ prabhuṁ sevadhvam|
12 As regards hope, rejoicing: as regards tribulation, enduring: as regards prayer, persevering:
aparaṁ pratyāśāyām ānanditā duḥkhasamaye ca dhairyyayuktā bhavata; prārthanāyāṁ satataṁ pravarttadhvaṁ|
13 distributing to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.
pavitrāṇāṁ dīnatāṁ dūrīkurudhvam atithisevāyām anurajyadhvam|
14 Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.
ye janā yuṣmān tāḍayanti tān āśiṣaṁ vadata śāpam adattvā daddhvamāśiṣam|
15 Rejoice with those that rejoice, weep with those that weep.
ye janā ānandanti taiḥ sārddham ānandata ye ca rudanti taiḥ saha rudita|
16 Have the same respect one for another, not minding high things, but going along with the lowly: be not wise in your own eyes:
aparañca yuṣmākaṁ manasāṁ parasparam ekobhāvo bhavatu; aparam uccapadam anākāṅkṣya nīcalokaiḥ sahāpi mārdavam ācarata; svān jñānino na manyadhvaṁ|
17 recompensing to no one evil for evil: providing things honest before all men:
parasmād apakāraṁ prāpyāpi paraṁ nāpakuruta| sarvveṣāṁ dṛṣṭito yat karmmottamaṁ tadeva kuruta|
18 if possible, as far as depends on you, living in peace with all men;
yadi bhavituṁ śakyate tarhi yathāśakti sarvvalokaiḥ saha nirvvirodhena kālaṁ yāpayata|
19 not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance [belongs] to me, I will recompense, saith the Lord.
he priyabandhavaḥ, kasmaicid apakārasya samucitaṁ daṇḍaṁ svayaṁ na daddhvaṁ, kintvīśvarīyakrodhāya sthānaṁ datta yato likhitamāste parameśvaraḥ kathayati, dānaṁ phalasya matkarmma sūcitaṁ pradadāmyahaṁ|
20 If therefore thine enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him drink; for, so doing, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.
itikāraṇād ripu ryadi kṣudhārttaste tarhi taṁ tvaṁ prabhojaya| tathā yadi tṛṣārttaḥ syāt tarhi taṁ paripāyaya| tena tvaṁ mastake tasya jvaladagniṁ nidhāsyasi|
21 Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
kukriyayā parājitā na santa uttamakriyayā kukriyāṁ parājayata|
