Romans 12
1 I plead to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that all of you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
hē bhrātara īśvarasya kr̥payāhaṁ yuṣmān vinayē yūyaṁ svaṁ svaṁ śarīraṁ sajīvaṁ pavitraṁ grāhyaṁ balim īśvaramuddiśya samutsr̥jata, ēṣā sēvā yuṣmākaṁ yōgyā|
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be all of you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that all of you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (aiōn g165)
aparaṁ yūyaṁ sāṁsārikā iva mācarata, kintu svaṁ svaṁ svabhāvaṁ parāvartya nūtanācāriṇō bhavata, tata īśvarasya nidēśaḥ kīdr̥g uttamō grahaṇīyaḥ sampūrṇaścēti yuṣmābhiranubhāviṣyatē| (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 has dealt to every man the measure of faith.
kaścidapi janō yōgyatvādadhikaṁ svaṁ na manyatāṁ kintu īśvarō yasmai pratyayasya yatparimāṇam adadāt sa tadanusāratō yōgyarūpaṁ svaṁ manutām, īśvarād anugrahaṁ prāptaḥ san yuṣmākam ēkaikaṁ janam ityājñāpayāmi|
4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
yatō yadvadasmākam ēkasmin śarīrē bahūnyaṅgāni santi kintu sarvvēṣāmaṅgānāṁ kāryyaṁ samānaṁ nahi;
5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
tadvadasmākaṁ bahutvē'pi sarvvē vayaṁ khrīṣṭē ēkaśarīrāḥ parasparam aṅgapratyaṅgatvēna bhavāmaḥ|
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;
asmād īśvarānugrahēṇa viśēṣaṁ viśēṣaṁ dānam asmāsu prāptēṣu satsu kōpi yadi bhaviṣyadvākyaṁ vadati tarhi pratyayasya parimāṇānusārataḥ sa tad vadatu;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teaches, on teaching;
yadvā yadi kaścit sēvanakārī bhavati tarhi sa tatsēvanaṁ karōtu; athavā yadi kaścid adhyāpayitā bhavati tarhi sō'dhyāpayatu;
8 Or he that exhorts, on exhortation: he that gives, let him do it with simplicity; he that rules, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
tathā ya upadēṣṭā bhavati sa upadiśatu yaśca dātā sa saralatayā dadātu yastvadhipatiḥ sa yatnēnādhipatitvaṁ karōtu yaśca dayāluḥ sa hr̥ṣṭamanasā dayatām|
9 Let love (agape) be without dissimulation. Detest that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
aparañca yuṣmākaṁ prēma kāpaṭyavarjitaṁ bhavatu yad abhadraṁ tad r̥tīyadhvaṁ yacca bhadraṁ tasmin anurajyadhvam|
10 Be kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
aparaṁ bhrātr̥tvaprēmnā parasparaṁ prīyadhvaṁ samādarād ēkō'parajanaṁ śrēṣṭhaṁ jānīdhvam|
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; (pneuma) serving the Lord;
tathā kāryyē nirālasyā manasi ca sōdyōgāḥ santaḥ prabhuṁ sēvadhvam|
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
aparaṁ pratyāśāyām ānanditā duḥkhasamayē ca dhairyyayuktā bhavata; prārthanāyāṁ satataṁ pravarttadhvaṁ|
13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
pavitrāṇāṁ dīnatāṁ dūrīkurudhvam atithisēvāyām anurajyadhvam|
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
yē janā yuṣmān tāḍayanti tān āśiṣaṁ vadata śāpam adattvā daddhvamāśiṣam|
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
yē janā ānandanti taiḥ sārddham ānandata yē ca rudanti taiḥ saha rudita|
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.
aparañca yuṣmākaṁ manasāṁ parasparam ēkōbhāvō bhavatu; aparam uccapadam anākāṅkṣya nīcalōkaiḥ sahāpi mārdavam ācarata; svān jñāninō na manyadhvaṁ|
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
parasmād apakāraṁ prāpyāpi paraṁ nāpakuruta| sarvvēṣāṁ dr̥ṣṭitō yat karmmōttamaṁ tadēva kuruta|
18 If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men.
yadi bhavituṁ śakyatē tarhi yathāśakti sarvvalōkaiḥ saha nirvvirōdhēna kālaṁ yāpayata|
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.
hē priyabandhavaḥ, kasmaicid apakārasya samucitaṁ daṇḍaṁ svayaṁ na daddhvaṁ, kintvīśvarīyakrōdhāya sthānaṁ datta yatō likhitamāstē paramēśvaraḥ kathayati, dānaṁ phalasya matkarmma sūcitaṁ pradadāmyahaṁ|
20 Therefore if your enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing you shall heap coals of fire on his head.
itikāraṇād ripu ryadi kṣudhārttastē tarhi taṁ tvaṁ prabhōjaya| tathā yadi tr̥ṣārttaḥ syāt tarhi taṁ paripāyaya| tēna tvaṁ mastakē tasya jvaladagniṁ nidhāsyasi|
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
kukriyayā parājitā na santa uttamakriyayā kukriyāṁ parājayata|
