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.

he bhrAtara Ishvarasya kR^ipayAhaM yuShmAn vinaye yUyaM svaM svaM sharIraM sajIvaM pavitraM grAhyaM balim Ishvaramuddishya samutsR^ijata, eShA sevA yuShmAkaM yogyA|

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 g165)

aparaM yUyaM sAMsArikA iva mAcharata, kintu svaM svaM svabhAvaM parAvartya nUtanAchAriNo bhavata, tata Ishvarasya nideshaH kIdR^ig uttamo grahaNIyaH sampUrNashcheti yuShmAbhiranubhAviShyate| (aiōn g165)

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.

kashchidapi jano yogyatvAdadhikaM svaM na manyatAM kintu Ishvaro yasmai pratyayasya yatparimANam adadAt sa tadanusArato yogyarUpaM svaM manutAm, IshvarAd anugrahaM prAptaH san yuShmAkam ekaikaM janam ityAj nApayAmi|

4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,

yato yadvadasmAkam ekasmin sharIre bahUnya NgAni santi kintu sarvveShAma NgAnAM kAryyaM samAnaM nahi;

5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,

tadvadasmAkaM bahutve. api sarvve vayaM khrIShTe ekasharIrAH parasparam a Ngapratya Ngatvena bhavAmaH|

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;

asmAd IshvarAnugraheNa visheShaM visheShaM dAnam asmAsu prApteShu satsu kopi yadi bhaviShyadvAkyaM vadati tarhi pratyayasya parimANAnusArataH sa tad vadatu;

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

yadvA yadi kashchit sevanakArI bhavati tarhi sa tatsevanaM karotu; athavA yadi kashchid adhyApayitA bhavati tarhi so. adhyApayatu;

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.

tathA ya upadeShTA bhavati sa upadishatu yashcha dAtA sa saralatayA dadAtu yastvadhipatiH sa yatnenAdhipatitvaM karotu yashcha dayAluH sa hR^iShTamanasA dayatAm|

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

apara ncha yuShmAkaM prema kApaTyavarjitaM bhavatu yad abhadraM tad R^itIyadhvaM yachcha bhadraM tasmin anurajyadhvam|

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

aparaM bhrAtR^itvapremnA parasparaM prIyadhvaM samAdarAd eko. aparajanaM shreShThaM jAnIdhvam|

11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,

tathA kAryye nirAlasyA manasi cha sodyogAH santaH prabhuM sevadhvam|

12 rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,

aparaM pratyAshAyAm AnanditA duHkhasamaye cha dhairyyayuktA bhavata; prArthanAyAM satataM pravarttadhvaM|

13 contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.

pavitrANAM dInatAM dUrIkurudhvam atithisevAyAm anurajyadhvam|

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

ye janA yuShmAn tADayanti tAn AshiShaM vadata shApam adattvA daddhvamAshiSham|

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

ye janA Anandanti taiH sArddham Anandata ye cha rudanti taiH saha rudita|

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.

apara ncha yuShmAkaM manasAM parasparam ekobhAvo bhavatu; aparam uchchapadam anAkA NkShya nIchalokaiH sahApi mArdavam Acharata; svAn j nAnino na manyadhvaM|

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

parasmAd apakAraM prApyApi paraM nApakuruta| sarvveShAM dR^iShTito yat karmmottamaM tadeva kuruta|

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

yadi bhavituM shakyate tarhi yathAshakti sarvvalokaiH saha nirvvirodhena kAlaM yApayata|

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.”

he priyabandhavaH, kasmaichid apakArasya samuchitaM daNDaM svayaM na daddhvaM, kintvIshvarIyakrodhAya sthAnaM datta yato likhitamAste parameshvaraH kathayati, dAnaM phalasya matkarmma sUchitaM pradadAmyahaM|

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.”

itikAraNAd ripu ryadi kShudhArttaste tarhi taM tvaM prabhojaya| tathA yadi tR^iShArttaH syAt tarhi taM paripAyaya| tena tvaM mastake tasya jvaladagniM nidhAsyasi|

21 Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
