Dedicated Service

12 Therefore (A)I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to (B)present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, [a]acceptable to God, which is your [b]spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not (C)be conformed to (D)this [c]world, but be transformed by the (E)renewing of your mind, so that you may [d](F)prove what the will of God is, that which is good and [e]acceptable and perfect.

3 For through (G)the grace given to me I say to everyone among you (H)not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to (I)each a measure of faith. 4 For (J)just as we have many parts in one body and all [f]the body’s parts do not have the same function, 5 so we, (K)who are many, are (L)one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another. 6 However, since we have gifts that (M)differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them properly: if (N)prophecy, [g]in proportion to one’s faith; 7 if [h](O)service, in the act of serving; or the one who (P)teaches, in the act of teaching; 8 or the one who [i](Q)exhorts, in the work of [j]exhortation; the one who gives, with [k](R)generosity; (S)the one who [l]is in leadership, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with (T)cheerfulness.

9 [m](U)Love must be free of hypocrisy. (V)Detest what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be (W)devoted to one another in brotherly love; [n]give preference to one another (X)in honor, 11 not lagging behind in diligence, (Y)fervent in spirit, (Z)serving the Lord; 12 (AA)rejoicing in hope, (AB)persevering in tribulation, (AC)devoted to prayer, 13 (AD)contributing to the needs of the [o]saints, [p](AE)practicing hospitality.

14 (AF)Bless those who persecute [q]you; bless and do not curse. 15 (AG)Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 (AH)Be of the same mind toward one another; (AI)do not be [r]haughty in mind, but [s]associate with the lowly. (AJ)Do not be wise in your own estimation. 17 (AK)Never repay evil for evil to anyone. [t](AL)Respect what is right in the sight of all people. 18 If possible, (AM)so far as it depends on you, (AN)be at peace with all people. 19 (AO)Never take your own revenge, beloved, but [u]leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written: “(AP)Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 “(AQ)But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Den andliga gudstjänsten

12 (A) Därför uppmanar jag er, bröder, vid Guds barmhärtighet, att frambära era kroppar som ett levande och heligt offer som behagar Gud – er andliga[a] gudstjänst. 2 (B) Och anpassa er inte efter den här världen[b], utan låt er förvandlas genom förnyelsen av ert sinne så att ni kan pröva vad som är Guds vilja: det som är gott och fullkomligt och behagar honom.

3 (C) I kraft av den nåd jag har fått säger jag till var och en av er: ha inte högre tankar om er själva än ni bör utan tänk förståndigt, efter det mått av tro som Gud har tilldelat var och en. 4 (D) För liksom vi i en enda kropp har många lemmar och alla lemmarna inte har samma uppgift, 5 (E) så är vi många en enda kropp i Kristus. Men var för sig är vi varandras lemmar.

6 (F) Vi har olika gåvor efter den nåd vi har fått: att profetera i överensstämmelse med tron, 7 (G) att tjäna i vår uppgift, att undervisa i läran, 8 (H) att förmana[c] med uppmuntran och tröst, att dela ut gåvor utan baktankar[d], att vara hängiven som ledare, eller att visa barmhärtighet med glatt hjärta.

9 (I) Älska varandra uppriktigt. Avsky det onda, håll fast vid det goda. 10 (J) Var innerligt tillgivna varandra i syskonkärlek. Överträffa[e] varandra i ömsesidig aktning. 11 (K) Var inte tröga när det gäller iver, var brinnande i anden, tjäna Herren. 12 (L) Var glada i hoppet, tåliga i lidandet, uthålliga i bönen. 13 (M) Hjälp de heliga med vad de behöver. Var ivriga att visa gästfrihet. 14 (N) Välsigna dem som förföljer er, välsigna och förbanna inte. 15 (O) Gläd er med dem som är glada, gråt med dem som gråter. 16 (P) Var eniga med varandra. Tänk inte på det som är högt utan håll er till det enkla[f]. Var inte självkloka. 17 (Q) Löna inte ont med ont. Tänk på det som är gott i alla människors ögon. 18 (R) Håll fred med alla människor så långt det är möjligt och beror på er.

19 (S) Hämnas inte, mina älskade, utan ge rum för Guds vrede. Det står ju skrivet: Min är hämnden, jag ska utkräva den, säger Herren.[g] 20 (T) Men om din fiende är hungrig, så ge honom att äta. Om han är törstig, ge honom att dricka. Gör du det, samlar du glödande kol på hans huvud.[h] 21 (U) Låt dig inte besegras av det onda, utan besegra det onda med det goda.

Romans 12
New International Version

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.
