GNT

1 παρακαλῶ οὗν ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, διὰ τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν τοῦ θεοῦ, παραστῆσαι τὰ σώματα ὑμῶν θυσίαν ζῶσαν ἁγίαν εὐάρεστον τῶ θεῶ, τὴν λογικὴν λατρείαν ὑμῶν·

2 καὶ μὴ συσχηματίζεσθε τῶ αἰῶνι τούτῳ, ἀλλὰ μεταμορφοῦσθε τῇ ἀνακαινώσει τοῦ νοός, εἰς τὸ δοκιμάζειν ὑμᾶς τί τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ, τὸ ἀγαθὸν καὶ εὐάρεστον καὶ τέλειον.

3 λέγω γὰρ διὰ τῆς χάριτος τῆς δοθείσης μοι παντὶ τῶ ὄντι ἐν ὑμῖν μὴ ὑπερφρονεῖν παρ᾽ ὃ δεῖ φρονεῖν, ἀλλὰ φρονεῖν εἰς τὸ σωφρονεῖν, ἑκάστῳ ὡς ὁ θεὸς ἐμέρισεν μέτρον πίστεως.

4 καθάπερ γὰρ ἐν ἑνὶ σώματι πολλὰ μέλη ἔχομεν, τὰ δὲ μέλη πάντα οὐ τὴν αὐτὴν ἔχει πρᾶξιν,

5 οὕτως οἱ πολλοὶ ἓν σῶμά ἐσμεν ἐν χριστῶ, τὸ δὲ καθ᾽ εἷς ἀλλήλων μέλη.

6 ἔχοντες δὲ χαρίσματα κατὰ τὴν χάριν τὴν δοθεῖσαν ἡμῖν διάφορα, εἴτε προφητείαν κατὰ τὴν ἀναλογίαν τῆς πίστεως,

7 εἴτε διακονίαν ἐν τῇ διακονίᾳ, εἴτε ὁ διδάσκων ἐν τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ,

8 εἴτε ὁ παρακαλῶν ἐν τῇ παρακλήσει, ὁ μεταδιδοὺς ἐν ἁπλότητι, ὁ προϊστάμενος ἐν σπουδῇ, ὁ ἐλεῶν ἐν ἱλαρότητι.

9 ἡ ἀγάπη ἀνυπόκριτος. ἀποστυγοῦντες τὸ πονηρόν, κολλώμενοι τῶ ἀγαθῶ·

10 τῇ φιλαδελφίᾳ εἰς ἀλλήλους φιλόστοργοι, τῇ τιμῇ ἀλλήλους προηγούμενοι,

11 τῇ σπουδῇ μὴ ὀκνηροί, τῶ πνεύματι ζέοντες, τῶ κυρίῳ δουλεύοντες,

12 τῇ ἐλπίδι χαίροντες, τῇ θλίψει ὑπομένοντες, τῇ προσευχῇ προσκαρτεροῦντες,

13 ταῖς χρείαις τῶν ἁγίων κοινωνοῦντες, τὴν φιλοξενίαν διώκοντες.

14 εὐλογεῖτε τοὺς διώκοντας [ὑμᾶς], εὐλογεῖτε καὶ μὴ καταρᾶσθε.

15 χαίρειν μετὰ χαιρόντων, κλαίειν μετὰ κλαιόντων.

16 τὸ αὐτὸ εἰς ἀλλήλους φρονοῦντες, μὴ τὰ ὑψηλὰ φρονοῦντες ἀλλὰ τοῖς ταπεινοῖς συναπαγόμενοι. μὴ γίνεσθε φρόνιμοι παρ᾽ ἑαυτοῖς.

17 μηδενὶ κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ ἀποδιδόντες· προνοούμενοι καλὰ ἐνώπιον πάντων ἀνθρώπων·

18 εἰ δυνατόν, τὸ ἐξ ὑμῶν μετὰ πάντων ἀνθρώπων εἰρηνεύοντες·

19 μὴ ἑαυτοὺς ἐκδικοῦντες, ἀγαπητοί, ἀλλὰ δότε τόπον τῇ ὀργῇ, γέγραπται γάρ, ἐμοὶ ἐκδίκησις, ἐγὼ ἀνταποδώσω, λέγει κύριος.

20 ἀλλὰ ἐὰν πεινᾷ ὁ ἐχθρός σου, ψώμιζε αὐτόν· ἐὰν διψᾷ, πότιζε αὐτόν· τοῦτο γὰρ ποιῶν ἄνθρακας πυρὸς σωρεύσεις ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ.

21 μὴ νικῶ ὑπὸ τοῦ κακοῦ, ἀλλὰ νίκα ἐν τῶ ἀγαθῶ τὸ κακόν.

1  I beseech³⁸⁷⁰ you⁵²⁰⁹ therefore,³⁷⁶⁷ brethren,⁸⁰ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ mercies³⁶²⁸ of God,²³¹⁶ that ye present³⁹³⁶ your⁵²¹⁶ bodies⁴⁹⁸³ a living²¹⁹⁸ sacrifice,²³⁷⁸ holy,⁴⁰ acceptable²¹⁰¹ unto God,²³¹⁶ which is your⁵²¹⁶ reasonable³⁰⁵⁰ service.²⁹⁹⁹

2  And²⁵³² be not³³⁶¹ conformed⁴⁹⁶⁴ to this⁵¹²⁹ world:¹⁶⁵ but²³⁵ be ye transformed³³³⁹ by the³⁵⁸⁸ renewing³⁴² of your⁵²¹⁶ mind,³⁵⁶³ that ye⁵²⁰⁹ may prove¹³⁸¹ what⁵¹⁰¹ is that good,¹⁸ and²⁵³² acceptable,²¹⁰¹ and²⁵³² perfect,⁵⁰⁴⁶ will²³⁰⁷ of God.²³¹⁶

3  For¹⁰⁶³ I say,³⁰⁰⁴ through¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ given¹³²⁵ unto me,³⁴²⁷ to every man³⁹⁵⁶ that is⁵⁶⁰⁷ among¹⁷²² you,⁵²¹³ not³³⁶¹ to think of himself more highly than^{5252 3844 3739} he ought¹¹⁶³ to think;⁵⁴²⁶ but²³⁵ to think⁵⁴²⁶ soberly,⁴⁹⁹³ according as⁵⁶¹³ God²³¹⁶ hath dealt³³⁰⁷ to every man¹⁵³⁸ the measure³³⁵⁸ of faith.⁴¹⁰²

4  For¹⁰⁶³ as²⁵⁰⁹ we have²¹⁹² many⁴¹⁸³ members³¹⁹⁶ in¹⁷²² one¹⁵²⁰ body,⁴⁹⁸³ and¹¹⁶¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ members³¹⁹⁶ have²¹⁹² not³⁷⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ same⁸⁴⁶ office:⁴²³⁴

5  So³⁷⁷⁹ we, being many,⁴¹⁸³ are²⁰⁷⁰ one¹⁵²⁰ body⁴⁹⁸³ in¹⁷²² Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ and¹¹⁶¹ every²⁵⁹⁶ one¹⁵²⁰ members³¹⁹⁶ one of another.²⁴⁰

6  Having²¹⁹² then¹¹⁶¹ gifts⁵⁴⁸⁶ differing¹³¹³ according²⁵⁹⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ that is given¹³²⁵ to us,²²⁵⁴ whether¹⁵³⁵ prophecy,⁴³⁹⁴ let us prophesy according²⁵⁹⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ proportion³⁵⁶ of faith;⁴¹⁰²

7  Or¹⁵³⁵ ministry,¹²⁴⁸ let us wait on¹⁷²² our ministering:¹²⁴⁸ or¹⁵³⁵ he that teacheth,¹³²¹ on¹⁷²² teaching;¹³¹⁹

8  Or¹⁵³⁵ he that exhorteth,³⁸⁷⁰ on¹⁷²² exhortation:³⁸⁷⁴ he that giveth,³³³⁰ let him do it with¹⁷²² simplicity;⁵⁷² he that ruleth,⁴²⁹¹ with¹⁷²² diligence;⁴⁷¹⁰ he that showeth mercy,¹⁶⁵³ with¹⁷²² cheerfulness.²⁴³²

9  Let love²⁶ be without dissimulation.⁵⁰⁵ Abhor⁶⁵⁵ that which is evil;⁴¹⁹⁰ cleave²⁸⁵³ to that which is good.¹⁸

10  Be kindly affectioned⁵³⁸⁷ one to another^{240 1519} with brotherly love;⁵³⁶⁰ in honor⁵⁰⁹² preferring⁴²⁸⁵ one another;²⁴⁰

11  Not³³⁶¹ slothful³⁶³⁶ in business;⁴⁷¹⁰ fervent²²⁰⁴ in spirit;⁴¹⁵¹ serving¹³⁹⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord;²⁹⁶²

12  Rejoicing⁵⁴⁶³ in hope;¹⁶⁸⁰ patient⁵²⁷⁸ in tribulation;²³⁴⁷ continuing instant⁴³⁴² in prayer;⁴³³⁵

13  Distributing²⁸⁴¹ to the³⁵⁸⁸ necessity⁵⁵³² of saints;⁴⁰ given to¹³⁷⁷ hospitality.⁵³⁸¹

14  Bless²¹²⁷ them which persecute¹³⁷⁷ you:⁵²⁰⁹ bless,²¹²⁷ and²⁵³² curse²⁶⁷² not.³³⁶¹

15  Rejoice⁵⁴⁶³ with³³²⁶ them that do rejoice,⁵⁴⁶³ and²⁵³² weep²⁷⁹⁹ with³³²⁶ them that weep.²⁷⁹⁹

16  Be of the³⁵⁸⁸ same⁸⁴⁶ mind⁵⁴²⁶ one toward another.^{240 1519} Mind⁵⁴²⁶ not³³⁶¹ high things,⁵³⁰⁸ but²³⁵ condescend⁴⁸⁷⁹ to men of low estate.⁵⁰¹¹ Be¹⁰⁹⁶ not³³⁶¹ wise⁵⁴²⁹ in³⁸⁴⁴ your own conceits.¹⁴³⁸

17  Recompense⁵⁹¹ to no man³³⁶⁷ evil²⁵⁵⁶ for⁴⁷³ evil.²⁵⁵⁶ Provide⁴³⁰⁶ things honest²⁵⁷⁰ in the sight¹⁷⁹⁹ of all³⁹⁵⁶ men.⁴⁴⁴

18  If¹⁴⁸⁷ it be possible,¹⁴¹⁵ as much as lieth in you,^{1537 5216} live peaceably¹⁵¹⁴ with³³²⁶ all³⁹⁵⁶ men.⁴⁴⁴

19  Dearly beloved,²⁷ avenge¹⁵⁵⁶ not³³⁶¹ yourselves,¹⁴³⁸ but²³⁵ rather give¹³²⁵ place⁵¹¹⁷ unto wrath:³⁷⁰⁹ for¹⁰⁶³ it is written,¹¹²⁵ Vengeance¹⁵⁵⁷ is mine;¹⁶⁹⁸ I¹⁴⁷³ will repay,⁴⁶⁷ saith³⁰⁰⁴ the Lord.²⁹⁶²

20  Therefore³⁷⁶⁷ if¹⁴³⁷ thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ enemy²¹⁹⁰ hunger,³⁹⁸³ feed⁵⁵⁹⁵ him;⁸⁴⁶ if¹⁴³⁷ he thirst,¹³⁷² give him drink:^{4222 846} for¹⁰⁶³ in so⁵¹²⁴ doing⁴¹⁶⁰ thou shalt heap⁴⁹⁸⁷ coals⁴⁴⁰ of fire⁴⁴⁴² on¹⁹⁰⁹ his⁸⁴⁸ head.²⁷⁷⁶

21  Be not³³⁶¹ overcome³⁵²⁸ of⁵²⁵⁹ evil,²⁵⁵⁶ but²³⁵ overcome³⁵²⁸ evil²⁵⁵⁶ with¹⁷²² good.¹⁸

Vul

1 Obsecro itaque vos fratres per misericordiam Dei, ut exhibeatis corpora vestra hostiam viventem, sanctam, Deo placentem, rationabile obsequium vestrum.

2 Et nolite conformari huic sæculo, sed reformamini in novitate sensus vestri: ut probetis quæ sit voluntas Dei bona, et beneplacens, et perfecta.

3 Dico enim per gratiam quæ data est mihi, omnibus qui sunt inter vos, non plus sapere quam oportet sapere, sed sapere ad sobrietatem: et unicuique sicut Deus divisit mensuram fidei.

4 Sicut enim in uno corpore multa membra habemus, omnia autem membra non eumdem actum habent:

5 ita multi unum corpus sumus in Christo, singuli autem alter alterius membra.

6 Habentes autem donationes secundum gratiam, quæ data est nobis, differentes: sive prophetiam secundum rationem fidei,

7 sive ministerium in ministrando, sive qui docet in doctrina,

8 qui exhortatur in exhortando, qui tribuit in simplicitate, qui præest in sollicitudine, qui miseretur in hilaritate.

9 Dilectio sine simulatione: odientes malum, adhærentes bono:

10 caritate fraternitatis invicem diligentes: honore invicem prævenientes:

11 sollicitudine non pigri: spiritu ferventes: Domino servientes:

12 spe gaudentes: in tribulatione patientes: orationi instantes:

13 necessitatibus sanctorum communicantes: hospitalitatem sectantes.

14 Benedicite persequentibus vos: benedicite, et nolite maledicere.

15 Gaudere cum gaudentibus, flere cum flentibus:

16 idipsum invicem sentientes: non alta sapientes, sed humilibus consentientes. Nolite esse prudentes apud vosmetipsos:

17 nulli malum pro malo reddentes: providentes bona non tantum coram Deo, sed etiam coram omnibus hominibus.

18 Si fieri potest, quod ex vobis est, cum omnibus hominibus pacem habentes:

19 non vosmetipsos defendentes carissimi, sed date locum iræ. Scriptum est enim: Mihi vindicta: ego retribuam, dicit Dominus.

20 Sed si esurierit inimicus tuus, ciba illum: si sitit, potum da illi: hoc enim faciens, carbones ignis congeres super caput ejus.

21 Noli vinci a malo, sed vince in bono malum.
