Ofereçam suas vidas a Cristo
12 Irmãos, Deus mostrou por nós uma grande misericórdia. Por isso, peço-lhes que ofereçam a ele as suas vidas em sacrifício,[a] isto é, um sacrifício vivo, puro e que lhe seja agradável. Esta é a maneira espiritual de vocês o adorarem. 2 Não sejam mais moldados por este mundo mas, pela nova maneira de vocês pensarem, vivam uma vida diferente. Então vão descobrir a vontade de Deus, isto é, o que é bom, agradável a ele, e perfeito.
3 Pelo encargo que Deus na sua bondade me deu, digo a cada um que está entre vocês: não pense de si mesmo achando que é melhor que os demais. Ao contrário, pense de maneira modesta, de acordo com a medida de fé que Deus repartiu a cada um. 4 Todos nós temos um corpo que tem muitas partes e cada parte tem uma função diferente. 5 Da mesma maneira nós, embora sejamos muitos, somos todos um corpo em Cristo. Somos todos partes deste corpo e cada parte pertence a todas as outras partes. 6 Deus deu a cada um de nós diferentes dons espirituais. Se alguém tem o dom de profetizar, então que use esse dom com a fé que tem. 7 Se alguém tem o dom de servir, que sirva. Se alguém tem o dom de ensinar, que ensine. 8 Se alguém tem o dom de encorajar os outros, que os encoraje. Se alguém tem alguma coisa para contribuir para com os outros, que o faça generosamente. Se alguém tem o dom de presidir, que o faça com dedicação. Se alguém tem o dom de praticar misericórdia para com os outros, que a pratique com alegria.
9 O amor de vocês deve ser sincero. Odeiem o mal e apeguem-se ao bem. 10 Amem uns aos outros com carinho de irmãos. Cada um de vocês dê mais honra ao seu irmão do que a si mesmo. 11 Não sejam preguiçosos mas vivam com um espírito cheio de fervor, pois vocês estão servindo sempre ao Senhor. 12 Alegrem-se na esperança que têm. Tenham paciência nas dificuldades e orem em todas as ocasiões. 13 Repartam o que vocês possuem com o povo de Deus[b] que tem necessidades. Procurem receber e hospedar nas suas casas as pessoas do povo de Deus que estão viajando.
14 Peçam que Deus abençoe aqueles que fazem o mal a vocês. Peçam bênçãos para eles e não os amaldiçoem. 15 Participem da alegria dos que estão alegres e da tristeza dos que estão tristes. 16 Vivam em harmonia uns com os outros. Não sejam orgulhosos, mas se façam amigos daqueles que não parecem ser importantes. Não sejam sábios aos seus próprios olhos.
17 Não paguem o mal com o mal. Procurem fazer o que todos acham que é bom. 18 Façam o possível, até onde depender de vocês, para viverem em paz com todos. 19 Queridos irmãos, não se vinguem daqueles que lhes fazem mal. Mas deixem que Deus, na sua fúria, os castigue. Como dizem as Escrituras:
“A vingança é minha;
eu retribuirei”,
diz o Senhor.(A)
20 Pelo contrário:
“Se o seu inimigo tiver fome, dê algo para ele comer;
se ele tiver sede, dê algo para ele beber.
Porque assim fará com que ele sinta vergonha”[c].(B)
21 Não permita que o mal vença a você, mas vença o mal fazendo o bem.

A Living Sacrifice
12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you(A) to present your bodies as a living sacrifice,(B) holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship.[a] 2 Do not be conformed(C) to this age,(D) but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,(E) so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will(F) of God.
Many Gifts but One Body
3 For by the grace(G) given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think.(H) Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith(I) to each one. 4 Now as we have many parts in one body,(J) and all the parts do not have the same function, 5 in the same way we who are many(K) are one body in Christ(L) and individually members of one another. 6 According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts:(M) If prophecy,(N) use it according to the proportion of one’s[b] faith; 7 if service,(O) use it in service; if teaching,(P) in teaching; 8 if exhorting,(Q) in exhortation; giving, with generosity;(R) leading,(S) with diligence; showing mercy, with cheerfulness.(T)
Christian Ethics
9 Let love be without hypocrisy.(U) Detest evil;(V) cling to what is good. 10 Love one another deeply as brothers and sisters.(W) Take the lead in honouring one another.(X) 11 Do not lack diligence in zeal; be fervent in the Spirit;[c](Y) serve the Lord.(Z) 12 Rejoice in hope;(AA) be patient in affliction;(AB) be persistent in prayer.(AC) 13 Share with the saints in their needs;(AD) pursue hospitality.(AE) 14 Bless those who persecute you;(AF) bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice;(AG) weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another.(AH) Do not be proud;(AI) instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation.(AJ) 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil.(AK) Give careful thought to do what is honourable(AL) in everyone’s eyes. 18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.(AM) 19 Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for God’s wrath, because it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay,[d](AN) says the Lord. 20 But
If your enemy is hungry, feed him.(AO)
If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
For in so doing
you will be heaping fiery coals on his head.[e](AP)
21 Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.

Give Your Lives to God
12 So I beg you, brothers and sisters, because of the great mercy God has shown us, offer your lives[a] as a living sacrifice to him—an offering that is only for God and pleasing to him. Considering what he has done, it is only right that you should worship him in this way. 2 Don’t change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but let God change you inside with a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to understand and accept what God wants for you. You will be able to know what is good and pleasing to him and what is perfect.
3 God has given me a special gift, and that is why I have something to say to each one of you. Don’t think that you are better than you really are. You must see yourself just as you are. Decide what you are by the faith God has given each of us. 4 Each one of us has one body, and that body has many parts. These parts don’t all do the same thing. 5 In the same way, we are many people, but in Christ we are all one body. We are the parts of that body, and each part belongs to all the others.
6 We all have different gifts. Each gift came because of the grace God gave us. Whoever has the gift of prophecy should use that gift in a way that fits the kind of faith they have. 7 Whoever has the gift of serving should serve. Whoever has the gift of teaching should teach. 8 Whoever has the gift of comforting others should do that. Whoever has the gift of giving to help others should give generously. Whoever has the gift of leading should work hard at it. Whoever has the gift of showing kindness to others should do it gladly.
9 Your love must be real. Hate what is evil. Do only what is good. 10 Love each other in a way that makes you feel close like brothers and sisters. And give each other more honor than you give yourself. 11 As you serve the Lord, work hard and don’t be lazy. Be excited about serving him! 12 Be happy because of the hope you have. Be patient when you have troubles. Pray all the time. 13 Share with God’s people who need help. Look for people who need help and welcome them into your homes.
14 Wish only good for those who treat you badly. Ask God to bless them, not curse them. 15 When others are happy, you should be happy with them. And when others are sad, you should be sad too. 16 Live together in peace with each other. Don’t be proud, but be willing to be friends with people who are not important to others. Don’t think of yourself as smarter than everyone else.
17 If someone does you wrong, don’t try to pay them back by hurting them. Try to do what everyone thinks is right. 18 Do the best you can to live in peace with everyone. 19 My friends, don’t try to punish anyone who does wrong to you. Wait for God to punish them with his anger. In the Scriptures the Lord says,
“I am the one who punishes;
I will pay people back.”(A)
20 But you should do this:
“If you have enemies who are hungry,
give them something to eat.
If you have enemies who are thirsty,
give them something to drink.
In doing this you will make them feel ashamed.[b]” (B)
21 Don’t let evil defeat you, but defeat evil by doing good.
Footnotes
- Romans 12:1 lives Literally, “bodies.” Paul is using the language of Old Testament animal sacrifice to express the idea of a complete giving of oneself to God.
- Romans 12:20 you will make them feel ashamed Literally, “you will pour burning coals on their head.” People in Old Testament times often put ashes on their heads to show that they were sad or sorry.

A Living Sacrifice
12 Therefore, I urge you,(A) brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice,(B) holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform(C) to the pattern of this world,(D) but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.(E) Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is(F)—his good, pleasing(G) and perfect will.
Humble Service in the Body of Christ
3 For by the grace given me(H) I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. 4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,(I) 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body,(J) and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts,(K) according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying,(L) then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith;(M) 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;(N) 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement;(O) if it is giving, then give generously;(P) if it is to lead,[b] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
Love in Action
9 Love must be sincere.(Q) Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.(R) 10 Be devoted to one another in love.(S) Honor one another above yourselves.(T) 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor,(U) serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope,(V) patient in affliction,(W) faithful in prayer.(X) 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.(Y) Practice hospitality.(Z)
14 Bless those who persecute you;(AA) bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.(AB) 16 Live in harmony with one another.(AC) Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.[c] Do not be conceited.(AD)
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil.(AE) Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.(AF) 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.(AG) 19 Do not take revenge,(AH) my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[d](AI) says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”[e](AJ)
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
