< 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 spiritual service.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ, ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ, ᎢᏨᏍᏗᏰᏗᎭ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏣᏘᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᏥᏰᎸ ᏗᏣᎵᏍᎪᎸᏙᏗᏱ ᎬᏃᏛ ᎠᏥᎸ ᎨᎳᏍᏗ, ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏄᏍᏛᎾ, ᏗᎬᏩᏓᏂᎸᎢᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ, ᏕᏣᏓᏅᏛ ᎬᏗ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎡᏣᏛᏁᎲᎢ.
2 Don’t 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 )

3 For I say through the grace that was given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯᏰᏃ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎬᏗᏍᎬ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎥᎩᏁᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎯᎠ ᏂᎦᏥᏪᏎᎭ ᎾᏂᎥᏉ ᏥᎨᏣᏓᏑᏯ; ᏞᏍᏗᏉ ᏯᏂᎶᏒᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎠᎾᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏚᏳᎪᏗ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏖᏗᏱ, ᎤᎾᎵᏏᎾᎯᏍᏗᏍᎩᏂ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎠᎾᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏚᏟᎶᎡᎸ ᎠᏂᏏᏴᏫᎭᎢ.
4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,

6 having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

7 or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;

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

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

10 In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.

16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.

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

19 Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”

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