< Romans 12 >

1 So I encourage you, my brothers and sisters, because of God's compassion for you, to dedicate your bodies as a living offering that is holy and pleasing to God. This is the logical way to worship.
ܒܥܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܒܪܚܡܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܩܝܡܘܢ ܦܓܪܝܟܘܢ ܕܒܚܬܐ ܚܝܬܐ ܘܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܘܡܩܒܠܬܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܡܠܝܠܬܐ
2 Don't follow the ways of this world; instead be transformed by the spiritual renewal of your mind so you can demonstrate what God's will really is—good, pleasing, and perfect. (aiōn g165)
ܘܠܐ ܬܬܕܡܘܢ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܫܬܚܠܦܘ ܒܚܘܕܬܐ ܕܪܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܦܪܫܝܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܗܘ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܡܩܒܠܐ ܘܓܡܝܪܐ (aiōn g165)
3 Let me explain to all of you, through the grace given to me, that no one should think of themselves better than they ought to. You should think about yourselves realistically, according to the degree of trust God has shared with you.
ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܝ ܠܟܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܬܪܥܝܢ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܡܐ ܕܘܠܐ ܕܬܬܪܥܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܬܪܥܝܢ ܒܢܟܦܘܬܐ ܟܠܢܫ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܠܓ ܠܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܒܡܫܘܚܬܐ
4 Just as there are many parts to the body, but they don't all do the same thing,
ܐܝܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܚܕ ܦܓܪܐ ܗܕܡܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܗܕܡܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܚܕ ܤܘܥܪܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ
5 so we are one body in Christ, even though we are many—and we all belong to one another.
ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܚܢܢ ܚܕ ܚܢܢ ܦܓܪ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܗܕܡܐ ܚܢܢ ܕܚܕܕܐ
6 We each have different gifts that vary according to the grace given to us. So if it's speaking for God, then you should do so depending on how much you trust in God.
ܐܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܡܫܚܠܦܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܢ ܐܝܬ ܕܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܫܘܚܬܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܗ
7 If it's the ministry of service then you should serve; if teaching then you should teach;
ܘܐܝܬ ܕܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܒܬܫܡܫܬܗ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܡܠܦܢܐ ܗܘ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܗ
8 if encouragement then you should encourage; if giving then you should give generously; if leadership then you should lead with commitment; if being merciful then you should do so gladly.
ܘܐܝܬ ܕܡܒܝܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܒܒܘܝܐܗ ܘܕܝܗܒ ܒܦܫܝܛܘܬܐ ܘܕܩܐܡ ܒܪܫܐ ܒܚܦܝܛܘܬܐ ܘܕܡܪܚܡ ܒܦܨܝܚܘܬܐ
9 Love must be genuine. Hate what is evil; hold on tightly to what is good.
ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܟܝܠ ܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܤܢܝܢ ܠܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܡܬܢܩܦܝܢ ܠܛܒܬܐ
10 Be completely dedicated to each other in your love as family; value others more than yourselves.
ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܪܚܡܝܢ ܠܐܚܝܟܘܢ ܘܡܚܒܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܩܕܡܝܢ ܡܝܩܪܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ
11 Don't be unwilling to work hard; serve the Lord with an enthusiastic spirit.
ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܚܦܝܛܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܒܢܢܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܪܬܚܝܢ ܒܪܘܚ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܦܠܚܝܢ ܠܡܪܟܘܢ
12 Remain cheerful in the hope you have, put up with the troubles that come, keep on praying.
ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܚܕܝܢ ܒܤܒܪܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܤܝܒܪܝܢ ܐܘܠܨܢܝܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܐܡܝܢܝܢ ܒܨܠܘܬܐ
13 Share in providing for the needs of God's people, and welcome strangers with hospitality.
ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܫܬܘܬܦܝܢ ܠܤܢܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܪܚܡܝܢ ܐܟܤܢܝܐ
14 Bless those who persecute you—bless them, and don't curse them.
ܒܪܟܘ ܠܪܕܘܦܝܟܘܢ ܒܪܟܘ ܘܠܐ ܬܠܘܛܘܢ
15 Be happy with those who are happy; cry with those who are crying.
ܚܕܘ ܥܡ ܕܚܕܝܢ ܘܒܟܘ ܥܡ ܕܒܟܝܢ
16 Think about one another. Don't consider yourself more important than others; live humbly. Don't be conceited.
ܘܡܕܡ ܕܡܬܪܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܥܠ ܐܚܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܬܪܥܘܢ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܪܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܩܦܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܟܝܟܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܚܟܝܡܝܢ ܒܪܥܝܢ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ
17 Don't pay back anyone evil for evil. Make sure you show everybody that what you're doing is good,
ܘܠܐ ܬܦܪܥܘܢ ܠܐܢܫ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܚܠܦ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܢܬܒܛܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܛܒܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ
18 and as far as it's up to you, live at peace with everyone.
ܘܐܢ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܢ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܥܡ ܟܠܒܪܢܫ ܫܠܡܐ ܥܒܕܘ
19 My dear friends, don't seek revenge, but leave it to God to execute judgment—as Scripture points out, “‘It's for me to dispense justice, I will repay,’ says the Lord.”
ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܬܒܥܝܢ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܚܒܝܒܝ ܐܠܐ ܗܒܘ ܐܬܪܐ ܠܪܘܓܙܐ ܟܬܝܒ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܢ ܠܐ ܬܥܒܕ ܕܝܢܐ ܠܢܦܫܟ ܐܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܕܝܢܟ ܐܡܪ ܐܠܗܐ
20 If those who hate you are hungry, give them food; if they're thirsty, give them a drink; for by doing so you pile fiery coals on their heads.
ܘܐܢ ܟܦܢ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܟ ܐܘܟܠܝܗܝ ܘܐܢ ܨܗܐ ܐܫܩܝܗܝ ܘܐܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܓܘܡܪܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܬܩܒܪ ܥܠ ܩܪܩܦܬܗ
21 Don't be defeated by evil—conquer evil with good.
ܠܐ ܬܙܟܝܟܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܙܟܐܘܗ ܠܒܝܫܬܐ ܒܛܒܬܐ
