rōmiṇaḥ 12

1 hē bhrātara īśvarasya kr̥payāhaṁ yuṣmān vinayē yūyaṁ svaṁ svaṁ śarīraṁ sajīvaṁ pavitraṁ grāhyaṁ balim īśvaramuddiśya samutsr̥jata, ēṣā sēvā yuṣmākaṁ yōgyā|

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your reasonable service.

2 aparaṁ yūyaṁ sāṁsārikā iva mācarata, kintu svaṁ svaṁ svabhāvaṁ parāvartya nūtanācāriṇō bhavata, tata īśvarasya nidēśaḥ kīdr̥g uttamō grahaṇīyaḥ sampūrṇaścēti yuṣmābhiranubhāviṣyatē| (aiōn g165)

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good and acceptable, and perfect will of God. (aiōn g165)

3 kaścidapi janō yōgyatvādadhikaṁ svaṁ na manyatāṁ kintu īśvarō yasmai pratyayasya yatparimāṇam adadāt sa tadanusāratō yōgyarūpaṁ svaṁ manutām, īśvarād anugrahaṁ prāptaḥ san yuṣmākam ēkaikaṁ janam ityājñāpayāmi|

For through the grace given to me, I say, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

4 yatō yadvadasmākam ēkasmin śarīrē bahūnyaṅgāni santi kintu sarvvēṣāmaṅgānāṁ kāryyaṁ samānaṁ nahi;

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

5 tadvadasmākaṁ bahutvē'pi sarvvē vayaṁ khrīṣṭē ēkaśarīrāḥ parasparam aṅgapratyaṅgatvēna bhavāmaḥ|

So we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

6 asmād īśvarānugrahēṇa viśēṣaṁ viśēṣaṁ dānam asmāsu prāptēṣu satsu kōpi yadi bhaviṣyadvākyaṁ vadati tarhi pratyayasya parimāṇānusārataḥ sa tad vadatu;

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith;

7 yadvā yadi kaścit sēvanakārī bhavati tarhi sa tatsēvanaṁ karōtu; athavā yadi kaścid adhyāpayitā bhavati tarhi sō'dhyāpayatu;

Or ministry, [let us wait] on [our] ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching:

8 tathā ya upadēṣṭā bhavati sa upadiśatu yaśca dātā sa saralatayā dadātu yastvadhipatiḥ sa yatnēnādhipatitvaṁ karōtu yaśca dayāluḥ sa hr̥ṣṭamanasā dayatām|

Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, [let him do it] with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 aparañca yuṣmākaṁ prēma kāpaṭyavarjitaṁ bhavatu yad abhadraṁ tad r̥tīyadhvaṁ yacca bhadraṁ tasmin anurajyadhvam|

[Let] love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

10 aparaṁ bhrātr̥tvaprēmnā parasparaṁ prīyadhvaṁ samādarād ēkō'parajanaṁ śrēṣṭhaṁ jānīdhvam|

[Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;

11 tathā kāryyē nirālasyā manasi ca sōdyōgāḥ santaḥ prabhuṁ sēvadhvam|

Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

12 aparaṁ pratyāśāyām ānanditā duḥkhasamayē ca dhairyyayuktā bhavata; prārthanāyāṁ satataṁ pravarttadhvaṁ|

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing earnest in prayer;

13 pavitrāṇāṁ dīnatāṁ dūrīkurudhvam atithisēvāyām anurajyadhvam|

Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

14 yē janā yuṣmān tāḍayanti tān āśiṣaṁ vadata śāpam adattvā daddhvamāśiṣam|

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

15 yē janā ānandanti taiḥ sārddham ānandata yē ca rudanti taiḥ saha rudita|

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

16 aparañca yuṣmākaṁ manasāṁ parasparam ēkōbhāvō bhavatu; aparam uccapadam anākāṅkṣya nīcalōkaiḥ sahāpi mārdavam ācarata; svān jñāninō na manyadhvaṁ|

[Be] of the same mind one towards another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

17 parasmād apakāraṁ prāpyāpi paraṁ nāpakuruta| sarvvēṣāṁ dr̥ṣṭitō yat karmmōttamaṁ tadēva kuruta|

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

18 yadi bhavituṁ śakyatē tarhi yathāśakti sarvvalōkaiḥ saha nirvvirōdhēna kālaṁ yāpayata|

If [it is] possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

19 hē priyabandhavaḥ, kasmaicid apakārasya samucitaṁ daṇḍaṁ svayaṁ na daddhvaṁ, kintvīśvarīyakrōdhāya sthānaṁ datta yatō likhitamāstē paramēśvaraḥ kathayati, dānaṁ phalasya matkarmma sūcitaṁ pradadāmyahaṁ|

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place to wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

20 itikāraṇād ripu ryadi kṣudhārttastē tarhi taṁ tvaṁ prabhōjaya| tathā yadi tr̥ṣārttaḥ syāt tarhi taṁ paripāyaya| tēna tvaṁ mastakē tasya jvaladagniṁ nidhāsyasi|

Therefore if thy enemy hungereth, feed him; if he thirsteth, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

21 kukriyayā parājitā na santa uttamakriyayā kukriyāṁ parājayata|

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