| [1]I call upon you, therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice -- living, sanctified, acceptable to God -- your intelligent service; |
[1]I beg therefore of you my brethren by the mercies of Alaha that you present your bodies sacrifices living and holy and acceptable to Alaha by a service logical |
| [2]and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what [is] the will of God -- the good, and acceptable, and perfect. |
[2]And do not imitate you world this but be transformed by the renovation of your minds and you shall distinguish which? is the will of Alaha good and acceptable and perfect |
| [3]For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith, |
[3]Say I but by the grace that is given to me to you all that not you should have self esteem outside of what is necessary to have self esteem but you should have self esteem in modesty every person as distributes to him Alaha faith by a measure |
| [4]for as in one body we have many members, and all the members have not the same office, |
[4]Just as for in one body members many are to us and all of those members not have one function to them |
| [5]so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another. |
[5]In this way also we who many are one we are body in The Messiah each one of us but members we are of each other |
| [6]And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy -- `According to the proportion of faith!' |
[6]But there are to us gifts of a variety according to the grace that is given us there is that of prophesy according to the measure of his faith |
| [7]or ministration -- `In the ministration!' or he who is teaching -- `In the teaching!' |
[7]And there is that of ministry it is to one in his service and there is that of teacher that is in his learning |
| [8]or he who is exhorting -- `In the exhortation!' he who is sharing -- `In simplicity!' he who is leading -- `In diligence?' he who is doing kindness -- `In cheerfulness.' |
[8]And there is that of a comforter which is in his comforting and a giver in generosity and a leader chief with diligence and that of caregiver with cheerfulness |
| [9]The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good; |
[9]And not let be deceitful your love but be you hating evil and cleaving to the good |
| [10]in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another; |
[10]Be you affectionate to your brethren and love one another be you preferring honoring one another |
| [11]in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving; |
[11]Be you diligent and do not be lazy be you enthusiastic in spirit be you working for your Lord |
| [12]in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering; |
[12]Be you rejoicing in your hope be you enduring your afflictions be you persisting in prayer |
| [13]to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing. |
[13]Be you partakers with the needs of the holy ones be you be friends of strangers |
| [14]Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not; |
[14]Bless your persecutors bless and do not curse |
| [15]to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping, |
[15]Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep |
| [16]of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit; |
[16]And whatever esteem you about yourselves do also about your brethren and do not esteem you opinions high but go out to those who are humble and not be you wise in opinions of yourselves |
| [17]giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men. |
[17]And do not repay a person evil for evil but it should concern you to do good before the children of men all of them |
| [18]If possible -- so far as in you -- with all men being in peace; |
[18]And if it is possible according to what is from within you with every person peace make |
| [19]not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, `Vengeance [is] Mine, |
[19]And not be you avenging you yourselves beloved but give place to rage is written it for that if not you will execute judgment for yourself I I shall execute your judgment says Alaha |
| [20]I will recompense again, saith the Lord;' if, then, thine enemy doth hunger, feed him; if he doth thirst, give him drink; for this doing, coals of fire thou shalt heap upon his head; |
[20]And if hungers your enemy feed him and if he thirsts give him drink and if these you do to him coals of fire you will heap on his skull |
| [21]Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil. |
[21]Not be you overcome by evil but overcome evil by good |
