Romans 12

1 I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, your reasonable service.

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.

2 And be not conformed to this age, but be ye transformed by the renewal of your mind, for ye to approve what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (aiōn g165)

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)

3 For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to over think beyond what he ought to think, but to think so as to think soundly, as God has apportioned to each man a measure of faith.

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.

4 For just as we have many body-parts in one body, and all the body-parts have not the same function,

As we have many members in one body and all members have not one office:

5 so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and each one body-parts of each other.

so we beynge many are one body in Christ and every man (amoge oure selves) one anothers mebers Seynge

6 And having different gifts according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;

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.

7 or service, in the service; or he who teaches, in the teaching;

Let him that hath an office wayte on his office. Let him that teacheth take hede to his doctrine.

8 or he who exhorts, in the exhortation; he who gives, in simplicity; he who leads, in diligence; he who does mercy, in cheerfulness.

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.

9 Love without hypocrisy, abhorring what is evil, clinging to what is good,

Let love be wt out dissimulacion. Hate that which is evyll and cleave vnto that which is good.

10 with brotherly love toward each other, affectionate, leading each other in recognition,

Be kynde one to another with brotherly love. In gevynge honoure goo one before another.

11 not lazy in diligence, being fervent in the Spirit serving the Lord,

Let not yt busynes which ye have in honde be tedious to you. Be fervet in ye sprete. Applye youre selves to ye tyme.

12 rejoicing in hope, enduring tribulation, persevering in prayer,

Reioyce in hope. Be paciet in tribulacion. Continue in prayer.

13 sharing for the needs of the sanctified, pursuing love for strangers.

Distribute vnto the necessite of the saynctes and diligently to harboure.

14 Bless those who persecute you. Bless ye and do not curse.

Blesse the which persecute you: blesse but course not.

15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep,

Be mery with the that are mery. Wepe wt them that wepe.

16 thinking the same way toward each other, not thinking on lofty things, but accommodating to the lowly. Become not wise according to yourselves,

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.

17 rendering to no man evil for evil, premeditating things right in the sight of all men.

Recopence to no ma evyll fore evyll. Provyde afore honde thinges honest in ye syght of all men.

18 If possible from you, keeping peace with all men,

Yf it be possible howbe it of youre parte have peace with all men.

19 not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath, for it is written, Vengeance is for me, I will repay, says the Lord.

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.

20 Therefore if thine enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him to drink. For by doing this thou will heap coals of fire upon his head.

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:

21 Be thou not overcome by evil, but overcome evil by good.

Be not overcome of evyll: But overcome evyll wt goodnes.
