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.

I BESEECH then of you, my brethren, by the mercies of Aloha, that you present your bodies a sacrifice, living and holy and acceptable unto Aloha, in a rational service.

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)

And be not likened unto this world, but be changed by the renewing of your minds, that you may discern what is the will of Aloha, good, and acceptable, and perfect. (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.

But I tell you all through the grace which is given to me, that you are not to think beyond what it is proper to think; but that you think with sobriety, every man as Aloha hath divided to him faith in measure.

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

For as in one body we have many members, and as all the members have not one work,

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

so also we who are many are one body in the Meshiha; but we are each of us members one of another.

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;

But we have various gifts according to the grace that is given to us: is it prophecy? (let him who has received it) prophesy according to the measure of the faith.

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

Hath (another the gift) of ministry? (let him be employed) in his ministry; he who is a teacher, (let him labour) in his teaching;

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.

he who is an exhorter, in his exhorting; as he who giveth, (let him give with simplicity; ) and he who presideth, (let it be) with diligence; and he who (is engaged in works) of mercy, with cheerfulness.

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

And let not your love be guileful; abhor things evil, cleave to the good.

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

Be tender to your brethren, and love one another, being forward to honour one another.

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

Be diligent, and not slothful, be fervent in spirit, be serving your Lord.

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

Rejoice in your hope, sustain your afflictions, be constant in prayer;

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

distributing to the necessity of the saints. Be kind to strangers.

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

Bless your persecutors; bless, and curse not.

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

Rejoice with them who rejoice, and weep with them who weep.

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.

And what you think of yourselves, (that) also think of your brethren; nor think with a high mind, but incline to them who are humble; and be not wise in the conceit of your own mind.

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

And repay to no man evil for evil, but be careful to do good before all men.

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

And if possible, as much as is in you, with all men make peace.

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.

And avenge not yourselves, my beloved, but give place unto wrath; for it is written, that if thou execute not judgment for thyself, I will execute thy judgment, saith Aloha.

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.

And if thy adversary hunger, feed him; and if he thirst, give him drink: and if these things thou do unto him, coals of fire thou wilt heap upon his head.

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

Let not evil overcome you, but overcome evil with good.
