| Romans 12:1 | I BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mercy of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing unto God, your reasonable service. | I plead with you therefore, brethren, by the compassionsof God, to present all your faculties to Him as a living and holy sacrifice acceptable to Him. This with you will be an act of reasonable worship. | For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him. |
| Romans 12:2 | And be not conformed to this world; but be reformed in the newness of your mind, that you may prove what is the good, and the acceptable, and the perfect will of God. | And do not follow the customs of the present age, but be transformed by the entire renewal of your minds, so that you may learn by experience what God's will is that will which is good and beautiful and perfect. | And let not your behaviour be like that of this world, but be changed and made new in mind, so that by experience you may have knowledge of the good and pleasing and complete purpose of God. |
| Romans 12:3 | For I say, by the grace that is given me, to all that are among you, not to be more wise than it behoveth to be wise, but to be wise unto sobriety, and according as God hath divided to every one the measure of faith. | For through the authority graciously given to me I warn every individual among you not to value himself unduly, but to cultivate sobriety of judgement in accordance with the amount of faith which God has allotted to each one. | But I say to every one of you, through the grace given to me, not to have an over-high opinion of himself, but to have wise thoughts, as God has given to every one a measure of faith. |
| Romans 12:4 | For as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office: | For just as there are in the one human body many parts, and these parts have not all the same function; | For, as we have a number of parts in one body, but all the parts have not the same use, |
| Romans 12:5 | So we being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. | so collectively we form one body in Christ, while individually we are linked to one another as its members. | So we, though we are a number of persons, are one body in Christ, and are dependent on one another; |
| Romans 12:6 | And having different gifts, according to the grace that is given us, either prophecy, to be used according to the rule of faith; | But since we have special gifts which differ in accordance with the diversified work graciously entrusted to us, if it is prophecy, let the prophet speak in exact proportion to his faith; | And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith; |
| Romans 12:7 | Or ministry, in ministering; or he that teacheth, in doctrine; | if it is the gift of administration, let the administrator exercise a sound judgement in his duties. | Or the position of a Deacon of the church, let a man give himself to it; or he who has the power of teaching, let him make use of it; |
| Romans 12:8 | He that exhorteth, in exhorting; he that giveth, with simplicity; he that ruleth, with carefulness; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. | The teacher must do the same in his teaching; and he who exhorts others, in his exhortation. He who gives should be liberal; he who is in authority should be energetic and alert; and he who succours the afflicted should do it cheerfully. | He who has the power of comforting, let him do so; he who gives, let him give freely; he who has the power of ruling, let him do it with a serious mind; he who has mercy on others, let it be with joy. |
| Romans 12:9 | Let love be without dissimulation. Hating that which is evil, cleaving to that which is good. | Let your love be perfectly sincere. Regard with horror what is evil; cling to what is right. | Let love be without deceit. Be haters of what is evil; keep your minds fixed on what is good. |
| Romans 12:10 | Loving one another with the charity of brotherhood, with honour preventing one another. | As for brotherly love, be affectionate to one another; in matters of worldly honour, yield to one another. | Be kind to one another with a brother's love, putting others before yourselves in honour; |
| Romans 12:11 | In carefulness not slothful. In spirit fervent. Serving the Lord. | Do not be indolent when zeal is required. Be thoroughly warm-hearted, the Lord's own servants, | Be not slow in your work, but be quick in spirit, as the Lord's servants; |
| Romans 12:12 | Rejoicing in hope. Patient in tribulation. Instant in prayer. | full of joyful hope, patient under persecution, earnest and persistent in prayer. | Being glad in hope, quiet in trouble, at all times given to prayer, |
| Romans 12:13 | Communicating to the necessities of the saints. Pursuing hospitality. | Relieve the necessities of God's people; always practise hospitality. | Giving to the needs of the saints, ready to take people into your houses. |
| Romans 12:14 | Bless them that persecute you: bless, and curse not. | Invoke blessings on your persecutors blessings, not curses. | Give blessing and not curses to those who are cruel to you. |
| Romans 12:15 | Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep. | Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep. | Take part in the joy of those who are glad, and in the grief of those who are sorrowing. |
| Romans 12:16 | Being of one mind one towards another. Not minding high things, but consenting to the humble. Be not wise in your own conceits. | Have full sympathy with one another. Do not give your mind to high things, but let humble ways content you. Do not be wise in your own conceits. | Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom. |
| Romans 12:17 | To no man rendering evil for evil. Providing good things, not only in the sight of God, but also in the sight of all men. | Pay back to no man evil for evil. Take thought for what is right and seemly in every one's esteem. | Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men. |
| Romans 12:18 | If it be possible, as much as is in you, have peace with all men. | If you can, so far as it depends on you, live at peace with all the world. | As far as it is possible for you be at peace with all men. |
| Romans 12:19 | Revenge not yourselves, my dearly beloved; but give place unto wrath, for it is written: Revenge is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. | Do not be revengeful, my dear friends, but give way before anger; for it is written, "`Revenge belongs to Me: I will pay back,' says the Lord." | Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord. |
| Romans 12:20 | But if thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat; if he thirst, give him to drink. For, doing this, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. | On the contrary, therefore, if your enemy is hungry, give him food; if he is thirsty, quench his thirst. For by doing this you will be heaping burning coals upon his head. | But if one who has hate for you is in need of food or of drink, give it to him, for in so doing you will put coals of fire on his head. |
| Romans 12:21 | Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil by good. | Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil with goodness. | Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good. |
