Romans 12
1 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.
And so, I beg you, brothers, by the mercy of God, that you offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, with the subservience of your mind.
2 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)
And do not choose to be conformed to this age, but instead choose to be reformed in the newness of your mind, so that you may demonstrate what is the will of God: what is good, and what is well-pleasing, and what is perfect. (aiōn g165)
3 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.
For I say, through the grace that has been given to me, to all who are among you: Taste no more than it is necessary to taste, but taste unto sobriety and just as God has distributed a share of the faith to each one.
4 As we have many members in one body and all members have not one office:
For just as, within one body, we have many parts, though all the parts do not have the same role,
5 so we beynge many are one body in Christ and every man (amoge oure selves) one anothers mebers Seynge
so also we, being many, are one body in Christ, and each one is a part, the one of the other.
6 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.
And we each have different gifts, according to the grace that has been given to us: whether prophecy, in agreement with the reasonableness of faith;
7 Let him that hath an office wayte on his office. Let him that teacheth take hede to his doctrine.
or ministry, in ministering; or he who teaches, in doctrine;
8 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.
he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, in simplicity; he who governs, in solicitude; he who shows mercy, in cheerfulness.
9 Let love be wt out dissimulacion. Hate that which is evyll and cleave vnto that which is good.
Let love be without falseness: hating evil, clinging to what is good,
10 Be kynde one to another with brotherly love. In gevynge honoure goo one before another.
loving one another with fraternal charity, surpassing one another in honor:
11 Let not yt busynes which ye have in honde be tedious to you. Be fervet in ye sprete. Applye youre selves to ye tyme.
in solicitude, not lazy; in spirit, fervent; serving the Lord;
12 Reioyce in hope. Be paciet in tribulacion. Continue in prayer.
in hope, rejoicing; in tribulation, enduring; in prayer, ever-willing;
13 Distribute vnto the necessite of the saynctes and diligently to harboure.
in the difficulties of the saints, sharing; in hospitality, attentive.
14 Blesse the which persecute you: blesse but course not.
Bless those who are persecuting you: bless, and do not curse.
15 Be mery with the that are mery. Wepe wt them that wepe.
Rejoice with those who are rejoicing. Weep with those who are weeping.
16 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.
Be of the same mind toward one another: not savoring what is exalted, but consenting in humility. Do not choose to seem wise to yourself.
17 Recopence to no ma evyll fore evyll. Provyde afore honde thinges honest in ye syght of all men.
Render to no one harm for harm. Provide good things, not only in the sight of God, but also in the sight of all men.
18 Yf it be possible howbe it of youre parte have peace with all men.
If it is possible, in so far as you are able, be at peace with all men.
19 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.
Do not defend yourselves, dearest ones. Instead, step aside from wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is mine. I shall give retribution, says the Lord.”
20 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:
So if an enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in doing so, you will heap burning coals upon his head.
21 Be not overcome of evyll: But overcome evyll wt goodnes.
Do not allow evil to prevail, instead prevail over evil by means of goodness.
