罗马书 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
为事奉上帝而活
12 所以，弟兄姊妹，我凭上帝的怜悯劝你们献上自己的身体，作圣洁、蒙上帝悦纳的活祭。你们理当这样事奉。 2 你们不可追随世界的潮流，要随着思想的不断更新而改变，这样就能明辨上帝的旨意，知道什么是良善、纯全、蒙祂悦纳的。
3 我凭上帝赐给我的恩典劝告各位，不要自视过高，要照着上帝赐给各人的信心中肯地看待自己。 4 就像我们身体的各部分有不同的功能， 5 我们众人在基督里组成一个身体，彼此联结，息息相关。 6 我们照所得的恩典各有不同的恩赐。说预言的，要按着信心的程度说预言； 7 服侍的，要忠心服侍；教导的，要专一教导； 8 劝勉的，要诚心劝勉；施舍的，要慷慨施舍；治理的，要殷勤治理；怜悯的，要甘心怜悯。
相爱相顾
9 不可虚情假意地爱人。要疾恶如仇，一心向善。 10 要彼此相爱如同手足，互相尊重，彼此谦让。 11 要殷勤，不可懒惰，要常常火热地事奉主。 12 盼望中要有喜乐，患难中要坚忍，祷告要恒切。 13 信徒有缺乏，要慷慨帮助；客人来访，要热诚款待。 14 迫害你们的，要为他们祝福；要祝福，不可咒诅。 15 要与喜乐的人同乐，与哀哭的人同哭。 16 要彼此和睦，不可心高气傲，反要俯就卑微的人，不可自以为聪明。
17 不要以恶报恶。要尊重别人，众人都认为好的事，应该竭力去做。 18 如果可能，总要尽力与人和睦相处。 19 亲爱的弟兄姊妹，不要私自报复，要让上帝来审判，因为圣经上说：
“主说，‘申冤在我，我必报应。’”
20 所以，
“你的仇敌若饿了，就给他吃的；
若渴了，就给他喝的；
你这样做是把炭火堆在他头上。”
21 你不可被恶所胜，反要以善胜恶。
Romans 12
GOD’S WORD Translation
Dedicate Your Lives to God
12 Brothers and sisters, in view of all we have just shared about God’s compassion, I encourage you to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, dedicated to God and pleasing to him. This kind of worship is appropriate for you. 2 Don’t become like the people of this world. Instead, change the way you think. Then you will always be able to determine what God really wants—what is good, pleasing, and perfect.
3 Because of the kindness [a] that God has shown me, I ask you not to think of yourselves more highly than you should. Instead, your thoughts should lead you to use good judgment based on what God has given each of you as believers. 4 Our bodies have many parts, but these parts don’t all do the same thing. 5 In the same way, even though we are many individuals, Christ makes us one body and individuals who are connected to each other. 6 God in his kindness gave each of us different gifts. If your gift is speaking what God has revealed, make sure what you say agrees with the Christian faith. 7 If your gift is serving, then devote yourself to serving. If it is teaching, devote yourself to teaching. 8 If it is encouraging others, devote yourself to giving encouragement. If it is sharing, be generous. If it is leadership, lead enthusiastically. If it is helping people in need, help them cheerfully.
9 Love sincerely. Hate evil. Hold on to what is good. 10 Be devoted to each other like a loving family. Excel in showing respect for each other. 11 Don’t be lazy in showing your devotion. Use your energy to serve the Lord. 12 Be happy in your confidence, be patient in trouble, and pray continually. 13 Share what you have with God’s people who are in need. Be hospitable.
14 Bless those who persecute you. Bless them, and don’t curse them. 15 Be happy with those who are happy. Be sad with those who are sad. 16 Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be arrogant, but be friendly to humble people. Don’t think that you are smarter than you really are.
17 Don’t pay people back with evil for the evil they do to you. Focus your thoughts on those things that are considered noble. 18 As much as it is possible, live in peace with everyone. 19 Don’t take revenge, dear friends. Instead, let God’s anger take care of it. After all, Scripture says, “I alone have the right to take revenge. I will pay back, says the Lord.” 20 But,
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him.
If he is thirsty, give him a drink.
If you do this, you will make him feel guilty and ashamed.”
21 Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil with good.
