Romans 12

1 I call on you, therefore, brothers, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies [as] a sacrifice—living, sanctified, acceptable to God—your intelligent service;

I beseche you therfore brethre by ye mercyfulnes of God that ye make youre bodyes aquicke sacrifise holy and acceptable vnto God which is youre resonable seruynge of god.

2 and do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what [is] the will of God—the good, and acceptable, and perfect. (aiōn g165)

And fassion not youre selves lyke vnto this worlde: But be ye chaunged in youre shape by the renuynge of youre wittes that ye maye fele what thynge that good yt acceptable and perfaycte will of god is. (aiōn g165)

3 For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think above what it ought to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God dealt a measure of faith,

For I saye (thorowe the grace that vnto me geve is) to every man amonge you that noman esteme of him selfe moare then it becometh him to esteme: but that he discretely iudge of him selfe accordynge as God hath dealte to every man the measure of fayth.

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

As we have many members in one body and all members have not one office:

5 so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and members of one another—each one.

so we beynge many are one body in Christ and every man (amoge oure selves) one anothers mebers Seynge

6 And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us: whether prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;

that we have dyvers gyftes accordynge to the grace that is geven vnto vs: yf eny man have ye gyft of prophesye let him have it that it be agreynge vnto the fayth.

7 or ministry, in the ministry; or he who is teaching, in the teaching;

Let him that hath an office wayte on his office. Let him that teacheth take hede to his doctrine.

8 or he who is exhorting, in the exhortation; he who is sharing, in simplicity; he who is leading, in diligence; he who is doing kindness, in cheerfulness.

Let him that exhorteth geve attendaunce to his exhortacion. Yf eny man geve let him do it with singlenes. Let him that ruleth do it with diligence. Yf eny man shewe mercy let him do it with cherfulnes.

9 The love unhypocritical: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;

Let love be wt out dissimulacion. Hate that which is evyll and cleave vnto that which is good.

10 in the love of brothers, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honor going before one another;

Be kynde one to another with brotherly love. In gevynge honoure goo one before another.

11 in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; serving the LORD;

Let not yt busynes which ye have in honde be tedious to you. Be fervet in ye sprete. Applye youre selves to ye tyme.

12 in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;

Reioyce in hope. Be paciet in tribulacion. Continue in prayer.

13 to the necessities of the holy ones communicating; the hospitality pursuing.

Distribute vnto the necessite of the saynctes and diligently to harboure.

14 Bless those persecuting you; bless, and do not curse;

Blesse the which persecute you: blesse but course not.

15 to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping,

Be mery with the that are mery. Wepe wt them that wepe.

16 of the same mind toward one another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; do not become wise in your own conceit;

Be of lyke affeccion one towardes another. Be not hye mided: but make youreselves equall to the of ye lower sorte. Be not wyse in youre awne opinios.

17 giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.

Recopence to no ma evyll fore evyll. Provyde afore honde thinges honest in ye syght of all men.

18 If possible—so far as in you—with all men being in peace;

Yf it be possible howbe it of youre parte have peace with all men.

19 not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it has been written: “Vengeance [is] Mine,

Derly beloued avenge not youre selves but geve roume vnto the wrath of God. For it is written: vengeaunce is myne and I will rewarde saith the lorde.

20 I will repay again, says the LORD”; if, then, your enemy hungers, feed him; if he thirsts, give him drink; for doing this, you will heap coals of fire on his head.

Terfore yf thyn enemy honger fede him: yf he thurst geve him drinke. For in so doynge thou shalt heape coles of fyre on his heed:

21 Do not be overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.

Be not overcome of evyll: But overcome evyll wt goodnes.
