ܪ̈ܗܘܡܝܐ 12
| ܒܥܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܒܪܚܡܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܩܝܡܘܢ ܦܓܪܝܟܘܢ ܕܒܚܬܐ ܚܝܬܐ ܘܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܘܡܩܒܠܬܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܡܠܝܠܬܐ | 1 |
I entreat you, then, friends, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, for this is your rational worship.
| ܘܠܐ ܬܬܕܡܘܢ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܫܬܚܠܦܘ ܒܚܘܕܬܐ ܕܪܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܦܪܫܝܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܗܘ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܡܩܒܠܐ ܘܓܡܝܪܐ (aiōn g165) | 2 |
Do not conform to the fashion of this world; but be transformed by the complete change that has come over your minds, so that you may discern what God’s will is – all that is good, acceptable, and perfect. (aiōn g165)
| ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܝ ܠܟܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܬܪܥܝܢ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܡܐ ܕܘܠܐ ܕܬܬܪܥܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܬܪܥܝܢ ܒܢܟܦܘܬܐ ܟܠܢܫ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܠܓ ܠܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܒܡܫܘܚܬܐ | 3 |
In fulfillment of the charge with which I have been entrusted, I tell every one of you not to think more highly of themselves than they ought to think, but to think until they learn to think soberly – in accordance with the measure of faith that God has allotted to each.
| ܐܝܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܚܕ ܦܓܪܐ ܗܕܡܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܗܕܡܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܚܕ ܤܘܥܪܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ | 4 |
For, just as in the human body there is a union of many parts, and each part has its own function,
| ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܕܤܓܝܐܐ ܚܢܢ ܚܕ ܚܢܢ ܦܓܪ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܗܕܡܐ ܚܢܢ ܕܚܕܕܐ | 5 |
so we, by our union in Christ, many though we are, form but one body, and individually we are related one to another as its parts.
| ܐܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܡܫܚܠܦܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܢ ܐܝܬ ܕܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܫܘܚܬܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܗ | 6 |
Since our gifts differ in accordance with the particular charge entrusted to us, if our gift is to preach, let our preaching correspond to our faith;
| ܘܐܝܬ ܕܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܒܬܫܡܫܬܗ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܡܠܦܢܐ ܗܘ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܗ | 7 |
if it is to minister to others, let us devote ourselves to our ministry; the teacher to their teaching,
| ܘܐܝܬ ܕܡܒܝܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܒܒܘܝܐܗ ܘܕܝܗܒ ܒܦܫܝܛܘܬܐ ܘܕܩܐܡ ܒܪܫܐ ܒܚܦܝܛܘܬܐ ܘܕܡܪܚܡ ܒܦܨܝܚܘܬܐ | 8 |
the counselor to their counsel. Let the person who gives in charity do so with a generous heart; let the person who is in authority exercise due diligence; let the person who shows kindness do so in a cheerful spirit.
| ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܟܝܠ ܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܤܢܝܢ ܠܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܡܬܢܩܦܝܢ ܠܛܒܬܐ | 9 |
Let your love be sincere. Hate the wrong; cling to the right.
| ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܪܚܡܝܢ ܠܐܚܝܟܘܢ ܘܡܚܒܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܩܕܡܝܢ ܡܝܩܪܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ | 10 |
In the love of the community of the Lord’s followers, be affectionate to one another; in showing respect, set an example of deference to one another;
| ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܚܦܝܛܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܒܢܢܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܪܬܚܝܢ ܒܪܘܚ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܦܠܚܝܢ ܠܡܪܟܘܢ | 11 |
never flagging in zeal; fervent in spirit; serving the Master;
| ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܚܕܝܢ ܒܤܒܪܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܤܝܒܪܝܢ ܐܘܠܨܢܝܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܐܡܝܢܝܢ ܒܨܠܘܬܐ | 12 |
rejoicing in your hope; steadfast under persecution; persevering in prayer;
| ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܫܬܘܬܦܝܢ ܠܤܢܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܪܚܡܝܢ ܐܟܤܢܝܐ | 13 |
relieving the wants of Christ’s people; devoted to hospitality.
| ܒܪܟܘ ܠܪܕܘܦܝܟܘܢ ܒܪܟܘ ܘܠܐ ܬܠܘܛܘܢ | 14 |
Bless your persecutors – bless and never curse.
| ܚܕܘ ܥܡ ܕܚܕܝܢ ܘܒܟܘ ܥܡ ܕܒܟܝܢ | 15 |
Rejoice with those who are rejoicing, and weep with those who are weeping.
| ܘܡܕܡ ܕܡܬܪܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܥܠ ܐܚܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܬܪܥܘܢ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܪܡܐ ܐܠܐ ܩܦܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܟܝܟܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܚܟܝܡܝܢ ܒܪܥܝܢ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ | 16 |
Let the same spirit of sympathy animate you all, not a spirit of pride; enjoy the company of ordinary people. Do not think too highly of yourselves.
| ܘܠܐ ܬܦܪܥܘܢ ܠܐܢܫ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܚܠܦ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܢܬܒܛܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܛܒܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ | 17 |
Never return injury for injury. Aim at doing what everyone will recognize as honorable.
| ܘܐܢ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܢ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܥܡ ܟܠܒܪܢܫ ܫܠܡܐ ܥܒܕܘ | 18 |
If it is possible, as far as rests with you, live peaceably with everyone.
| ܘܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܬܒܥܝܢ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܚܒܝܒܝ ܐܠܐ ܗܒܘ ܐܬܪܐ ܠܪܘܓܙܐ ܟܬܝܒ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܢ ܠܐ ܬܥܒܕ ܕܝܢܐ ܠܢܦܫܟ ܐܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܕܝܢܟ ܐܡܪ ܐܠܗܐ | 19 |
Never avenge yourselves, dear friends, but make way for the wrath of God; for scripture declares – ‘“It is for me to avenge, I will requite,” says the Lord.’
| ܘܐܢ ܟܦܢ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܟ ܐܘܟܠܝܗܝ ܘܐܢ ܨܗܐ ܐܫܩܝܗܝ ܘܐܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܓܘܡܪܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܬܩܒܪ ܥܠ ܩܪܩܦܬܗ | 20 |
Rather – ‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him to drink. By doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head.’
| ܠܐ ܬܙܟܝܟܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܙܟܐܘܗ ܠܒܝܫܬܐ ܒܛܒܬܐ | 21 |
Never be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.
