Romans 12

1 I BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

所以，弟兄們，我以上帝的慈悲勸你們，將身體獻上，當作活祭，是聖潔的，是上帝所喜悅的；你們如此事奉乃是理所當然的。

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (aiōn g165)

不要效法這個世界，只要心意更新而變化，叫你們察驗何為上帝的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。 (aiōn g165)

3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

我憑着所賜我的恩對你們各人說：不要看自己過於所當看的；要照着上帝所分給各人信心的大小，看得合乎中道。

4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

正如我們一個身子上有好些肢體，肢體也不都是一樣的用處。

5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

我們這許多人，在基督裏成為一身，互相聯絡作肢體，也是如此。

6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

按我們所得的恩賜，各有不同。或說預言，就當照着信心的程度說預言；

7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

或作執事，就當專一執事；或作教導的，就當專一教導；

8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

或作勸化的，就當專一勸化；施捨的，就當誠實；治理的，就當殷勤；憐憫人的，就當甘心。

9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

愛人不可虛假。惡，要厭惡；善，要親近。

10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

愛弟兄，要彼此親熱；恭敬人，要彼此推讓。

11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

殷勤，不可懶惰；要心裏火熱，常常服事主。

12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

在指望中要喜樂；在患難中要忍耐；禱告要恆切。

13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

聖徒缺乏，要幫補；客，要一味地款待。

14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

逼迫你們的，要給他們祝福；只要祝福，不可咒詛。

15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

與喜樂的人要同樂；與哀哭的人要同哭。

16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

要彼此同心；不要志氣高大，倒要俯就卑微的人。不要自以為聰明。

17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

不要以惡報惡；眾人以為美的事要留心去做。

18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

若是能行，總要盡力與眾人和睦。

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

親愛的弟兄，不要自己伸冤，寧可讓步，聽憑主怒；因為經上記着：「主說：『伸冤在我，我必報應。』」

20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

所以，「你的仇敵若餓了，就給他吃，若渴了，就給他喝；因為你這樣行就是把炭火堆在他的頭上。」

21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

你不可為惡所勝，反要以善勝惡。
