| Romans 12:1 | 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. | Therefore I beg you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. |
| Romans 12:2 | 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. | Don't be fashioned according to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. |
| Romans 12:3 | 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. | For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith. |
| Romans 12:4 | 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, | For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don't have the same function, |
| Romans 12:5 | 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; | so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. |
| Romans 12:6 | 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; | Having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, if prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith; |
| Romans 12:7 | 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; | or service, let us give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching; |
| Romans 12:8 | 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. | or he who exhorts, to his exhorting: he who gives, let him do it with liberality; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. |
| Romans 12:9 | 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. | Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good. |
| Romans 12:10 | 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; | In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; in honor preferring one another; |
| Romans 12:11 | 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; | not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; |
| Romans 12:12 | 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, | rejoicing in hope; enduring in oppression; continuing steadfastly in prayer; |
| Romans 12:13 | Relieve the necessities of God's people; always practise hospitality. | Giving to the needs of the saints, ready to take people into your houses. | contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality. |
| Romans 12:14 | Invoke blessings on your persecutors blessings, not curses. | Give blessing and not curses to those who are cruel to you. | Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don't curse. |
| Romans 12:15 | 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. | Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep. |
| Romans 12:16 | 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. | 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. |
| Romans 12:17 | 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. | Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. |
| Romans 12:18 | 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. | If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. |
| Romans 12:19 | 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. | 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." |
| Romans 12:20 | 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. | 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." |
| Romans 12:21 | Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil with goodness. | Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good. | Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. |
