Romans 12

1 Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, well-pleasing to God, which is your spiritual worship;

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. (aiōn g165)

and be not conformed to the fashion of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that ye may learn by experience what is the will of God, what is good, and well-pleasing, and perfect. (aiōn g165)

3 For I say, through the grace that was given me, to everyone among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

For through the grace given to me I warn every one among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, according to the measure of faith which God hath imparted to each.

4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function,

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

5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

so we, though many, form one body in Christ, and each of us is a member of it in common with the rest.

6 And we have different gifts according to the grace that was given to us. If prophecy, according to the proportion of the faith;

Having then gifts which dither according to the grace which hath been bestowed upon us, if we have prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

7 if service, in the service; if teaching, in the teaching;

or if service, let us attend to the service; he that teacheth, let him attend to teaching;

8 if exhorting, in exhortation; giving, in generosity; leading, in diligence; showing mercy, in cheerfulness.

or he that exhorteth, to exhortation; he that giveth, let him do it with liberality; he that presideth over others, with diligence; he that doeth deeds of mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

Let your love be unfeigned. Abhor that which is evil, cleave to that which is good.

10 In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; outdo one another in showing honor;

In brotherly love, be affectionate to one another; in honor, give each other the preference.

11 not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

Be not backward in zeal; be fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.

12 rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;

Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; persevere in prayer.

13 contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.

Relieve the wants of the holy; be given to hospitality.

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse.

Bless those who persecute you; bless, and curse not.

15 Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.

Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.

16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be arrogant, but associate with the humble. Do not be conceited.

Be of one mind among yourselves. Set not your minds on high things, but content yourselves with what is humble. Be not wise in your own conceits.

17 Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all people.

Render to no one evil for evil; have regard to what is honorable in the sight of all men.

18 If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all people.

If it be possible, as far as dependeth on you, be at peace with all men.

19 Do not seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for the wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord."

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather make room for wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

20 Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for by doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head."

Therefore, “if thy enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink. For in so doing thou wilt heap coals of fire on his head.”

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
