Romans 12

1 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;

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.

2 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)

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)

3 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.

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 reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

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

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

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

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

6 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;

Having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, if prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

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

or service, let us give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;

8 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.

or he who exhorts, to his exhorting: he who gives, let him do it with liberality; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

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

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

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

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

16 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.

Be of the same mind one toward another. Do not be arrogant, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own conceits.

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

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

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

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

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

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."

20 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.”

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."

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

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