< Romans 12 >
1 I exhort therefore you, brothers, through the compassions of God, to present the bodies of you a sacrifice living holy well-pleasing to God which is the reasonable service of you.
2 And not (do be conformed *NK+o) to the age this, but (do be transformed *NK+o) by the renewing of the mind (of you *k) for to prove by you what [is] the will of God good and well-pleasing and perfect. (aiōn )
3 I say for through the grace which having been given to me to everyone who is being among you, not to be high-minded above what it behooves [you] to think, but to think so as to be sober-minded, to each as God has allotted a measure of faith.
4 Just as for in one body many members we have, now the members all not the same have function,
5 so the many one body we are in Christ, and individually one of another members.
6 We are having however gifts according to the grace which having been given to us different, if prophecy according to the proportion of the faith,
7 or service in the service, or the [one] teaching in the teaching,
8 or the [one] exhorting in the exhortation, the [one] giving in generosity, the [one] leading with diligence, the [one] showing mercy with cheerfulness.
9 [Let] love [be] unfeigned. abhorring evil, cleaving to good;
10 in brotherly love to one another devoted in honor one another esteeming,
11 in diligence not lagging, in spirit being fervent, the (Lord *NK+O) serving,
12 in hope rejoicing, in tribulation being patient, in prayer being constant,
13 to the needs of the saints contributing, hospitality pursuing;
14 do bless those persecuting you; do bless and not do curse.
15 to rejoice with the rejoicing, (and *k) to weep with the weeping.
16 the same thing toward one another minding, not the [things] haughty minding, but with the lowly going along. Not do be wise in yourselves.
17 To no one evil for evil repaying, providing right before all men;
18 if possible of you with all men living at peace,
19 never yourselves avenging, beloved, instead do give place to wrath; it has been written for: Mine [is] vengeance, I myself will repay, says [the] Lord.
20 (On the contrary *N+KO) If shall hunger the enemy of you, do feed him; if he shall thirst, do give drink him; this for doing coals of fire you will heap upon the head of him.
21 Not do be overcome by evil but do overcome with good evil.
