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 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 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 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 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.

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 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 as all the members have not one work,

5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually 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 And we have different gifts according to the grace that was given to us. If prophecy, according to the proportion of the 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 if service, in the service; if teaching, in the 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 if exhorting, in exhortation; giving, in generosity; leading, in diligence; showing mercy, in 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 hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bless your persecutors; bless, and curse not.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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."

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 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."

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

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