Romans 12
1 Now then, brothers, I exhort you, in view of God's compassions, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, satisfying to God—your intelligent duty.
he bhrātara īśvarasya kṛpayāhaṁ yuṣmān vinaye yūyaṁ svaṁ svaṁ śarīraṁ sajīvaṁ pavitraṁ grāhyaṁ balim īśvaramuddiśya samutsṛjata, eṣā sevā yuṣmākaṁ yogyā|
2 Yes, stop conforming to the pattern of this world; rather, be transformed by the renewing of your mind so as to be able to experience the good and satisfying 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 Based on the grace given to me, I say to everyone among you not to set your sights higher than you should, but set them sensibly, as God has apportioned a measure of faith to each.
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 Because just as in one body we have many parts, but all the parts do not have the same function,
yato yadvadasmākam ekasmin śarīre bahūnyaṅgāni santi kintu sarvveṣāmaṅgānāṁ kāryyaṁ samānaṁ nahi;
5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ and individually members of one another.
tadvadasmākaṁ bahutve'pi sarvve vayaṁ khrīṣṭe ekaśarīrāḥ parasparam aṅgapratyaṅgatvena bhavāmaḥ|
6 Since we have different spiritual gifts according to the grace that was given us, let us use them: if prophecy, according to the analogy of the Faith;
asmād īśvarānugraheṇa viśeṣaṁ viśeṣaṁ dānam asmāsu prāpteṣu satsu kopi yadi bhaviṣyadvākyaṁ vadati tarhi pratyayasya parimāṇānusārataḥ sa tad vadatu;
7 if serving, in the serving; if teaching, in the teaching;
yadvā yadi kaścit sevanakārī bhavati tarhi sa tatsevanaṁ karotu; athavā yadi kaścid adhyāpayitā bhavati tarhi so'dhyāpayatu;
8 if exhorting, in the exhortation; the sharer, with simplicity; the leader, with diligence; the mercy-shower, with cheerfulness.
tathā ya upadeṣṭā bhavati sa upadiśatu yaśca dātā sa saralatayā dadātu yastvadhipatiḥ sa yatnenādhipatitvaṁ karotu yaśca dayāluḥ sa hṛṣṭamanasā dayatām|
9 Love is to be genuine: abhorring the malignant; clinging to the good;
aparañca yuṣmākaṁ prema kāpaṭyavarjitaṁ bhavatu yad abhadraṁ tad ṛtīyadhvaṁ yacca bhadraṁ tasmin anurajyadhvam|
10 showing family affection to one another in brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;
aparaṁ bhrātṛtvapremnā parasparaṁ prīyadhvaṁ samādarād eko'parajanaṁ śreṣṭhaṁ jānīdhvam|
11 not lagging in diligence; serving the Lord with an enthusiastic spirit;
tathā kāryye nirālasyā manasi ca sodyogāḥ santaḥ prabhuṁ sevadhvam|
12 rejoicing in the hope; enduring the affliction; continuing steadfastly in prayer;
aparaṁ pratyāśāyām ānanditā duḥkhasamaye ca dhairyyayuktā bhavata; prārthanāyāṁ satataṁ pravarttadhvaṁ|
13 distributing to the needs of the saints; practicing hospitality.
pavitrāṇāṁ dīnatāṁ dūrīkurudhvam atithisevāyām anurajyadhvam|
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
ye janā yuṣmān tāḍayanti tān āśiṣaṁ vadata śāpam adattvā daddhvamāśiṣam|
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.
ye janā ānandanti taiḥ sārddham ānandata ye ca rudanti taiḥ saha rudita|
16 Regard each other as being on the same level—do not distinguish the upper classes, but associate with the lower classes; do not exalt yourself.
aparañca yuṣmākaṁ manasāṁ parasparam ekobhāvo bhavatu; aparam uccapadam anākāṅkṣya nīcalokaiḥ sahāpi mārdavam ācarata; svān jñānino na manyadhvaṁ|
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Have regard for things that everyone considers to be good.
parasmād apakāraṁ prāpyāpi paraṁ nāpakuruta| sarvveṣāṁ dṛṣṭito yat karmmottamaṁ tadeva kuruta|
18 If possible, what depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
yadi bhavituṁ śakyate tarhi yathāśakti sarvvalokaiḥ saha nirvvirodhena kālaṁ yāpayata|
19 Dear ones, do not avenge yourselves; rather give place to the wrath; for it is written: “Vengeance is up to me; I will repay,” says the Lord.
he priyabandhavaḥ, kasmaicid apakārasya samucitaṁ daṇḍaṁ svayaṁ na daddhvaṁ, kintvīśvarīyakrodhāya sthānaṁ datta yato likhitamāste parameśvaraḥ kathayati, dānaṁ phalasya matkarmma sūcitaṁ pradadāmyahaṁ|
20 Therefore, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
itikāraṇād ripu ryadi kṣudhārttaste tarhi taṁ tvaṁ prabhojaya| tathā yadi tṛṣārttaḥ syāt tarhi taṁ paripāyaya| tena tvaṁ mastake tasya jvaladagniṁ nidhāsyasi|
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil with the good.
kukriyayā parājitā na santa uttamakriyayā kukriyāṁ parājayata|
