罗马书 12
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
活的祭物
12 所以弟兄们，我藉着神的各样怜悯劝你们，要把自己的身体献上，做为圣洁、蒙神喜悦的活祭；这是你们理所当然的[a]事奉。 2 不要效法这世代，要藉着理性的更新而改变，使你们可以分辨什么是神的旨意——那美善、可喜悦、完美的旨意。
成为一体
3 我藉着所赐给我的恩典，对你们中间的每个人说：不要自视过高，过于所当看的，而要照着神所分给每个人信心的尺度，清醒地看自己。 4 正如我们一个身体有很多部分[b]，而且各部分都有不同的功用； 5 照样，我们这许多人，在基督里是一个身体，而且各个部分都彼此相属。 6 照着所赐给我们的恩典，我们各有不同的恩赐：
如果是做先知传道[c]的恩赐[d]，就按照信心的程度用它[e]；
7 如果是服事的，就用在服事上；
如果是教导的，就用在教导上；
8 如果是劝勉的，就用在劝勉上；
分享的，要慷慨；
带领[f]的，要殷勤；
怜悯人的，要甘心乐意。
基督徒的行为规范
9 爱，不要虚假；要厌弃恶、持守善； 10 要以弟兄之情彼此相爱，以尊敬之心彼此谦让， 11 殷勤而不懒惰，灵里时时火热，常常服事主。 12 在盼望中要欢喜，在患难里要忍耐，在祷告上要恒切。 13 要分担圣徒的缺乏；尽力款待客旅。 14 要祝福那些逼迫你们的人；要祝福，不要诅咒。 15 要与快乐的人一同快乐；与哀哭的人一同哀哭。 16 要彼此同心；不要心高气傲，而要俯就卑微[g]的人；不要自以为聪明。 17 不要对任何人以恶报恶；要敬重所有的人看为美善的事； 18 如果有可能，尽量在你们的事上与所有的人和睦。 19 各位蒙爱的人哪，不要自己报复，宁可给神的震怒留地步，因为经上记着：“主说：报应在我，我将回报。”[h] 20 不但如此，
21 不要被恶所胜，反要以善胜恶。
Romans 12
New Living Translation
A Living Sacrifice to God
12 And so, dear brothers and sisters,[a] I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.[b] 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
3 Because of the privilege and authority[c] God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.[d] 4 Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, 5 so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.
6 In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. 7 If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. 8 If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. 10 Love each other with genuine affection,[e] and take delight in honoring each other. 11 Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.[f] 12 Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. 13 When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. 15 Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!
17 Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. 18 Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.
19 Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say,
“I will take revenge;
I will pay them back,”[g]
says the Lord.
20 Instead,
“If your enemies are hungry, feed them.
If they are thirsty, give them something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap
burning coals of shame on their heads.”[h]
21 Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.
