1 I beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God-The Father, that you2f present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God-The Father, [which is] your reasonable service.

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be you2f transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you2f may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God-The Father.

3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God-The Father has dealt to every man the measure of faith.

4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

5 So we, [being] many, are one body in Moshiach [Messiah], and every one members one of another.

6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith;

7 Or ministry, [let us wait] on [our] ministering: or he that teaches, on teaching;

8 Or he that exhorts, on Exhortation (encouragement; counsel): he that gives, [let him do it] with simplicity; he that rules, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 [Let] love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave (split open; cut open; divide) to that which is good.

10 [Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

11 Not slothful in business; fervent in Spirit [Ruach]; serving the Lord - Kurios;

12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

16 [Be] of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

18 If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men.

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] my; I will repay, says the Lord - Kurios.

20 Therefore if youri enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing youi shall heap coals of fire on his head.

21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
