Romans 12
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
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.

Actitud consecuente del creyente
12 Por consiguiente, hermanos, os ruego(A) por las misericordias de Dios que presentéis vuestros cuerpos como sacrificio vivo y santo(B), aceptable[a] a Dios, que es vuestro culto racional. 2 Y no os adaptéis[b] a este mundo[c](C), sino transformaos mediante la renovación de vuestra mente(D), para que verifiquéis cuál es la voluntad de Dios: lo que es bueno, aceptable[d] y perfecto(E).
Nuestros deberes cristianos
3 Porque en virtud de la gracia que me ha sido dada(F), digo a cada uno de[e] vosotros que no piense más alto de sí que lo que debe pensar(G), sino que piense con buen juicio[f], según la medida de fe(H) que Dios ha distribuido a cada uno. 4 Pues así como en un cuerpo tenemos muchos miembros, pero no todos los miembros tienen la misma función(I), 5 así nosotros, que somos muchos(J), somos un cuerpo en Cristo(K) e individualmente miembros los unos de los otros. 6 Pero teniendo dones que difieren, según la gracia que nos ha sido dada(L), usémoslos: si el de profecía(M), úsese en proporción a la fe; 7 si el de servicio(N), en servir[g]; o el que enseña(O), en la enseñanza; 8 el que exhorta, en la exhortación(P); el que da, con liberalidad[h](Q); el que dirige[i](R), con diligencia; el que muestra misericordia, con alegría(S).
9 El amor sea sin hipocresía(T); aborreciendo lo malo, aplicándoos[j] a lo bueno(U). 10 Sed afectuosos unos con otros con amor fraternal(V); con honra(W), daos preferencia unos a otros; 11 no seáis perezosos en lo que requiere diligencia; fervientes en espíritu(X), sirviendo al Señor(Y), 12 gozándoos en la esperanza(Z), perseverando en el sufrimiento(AA), dedicados a la oración(AB), 13 contribuyendo para las necesidades de los santos(AC), practicando[k] la hospitalidad(AD). 14 Bendecid a los que os[l] persiguen(AE); bendecid, y no maldigáis. 15 Gozaos con los que se gozan y llorad con los que lloran(AF). 16 Tened el mismo sentir[m](AG) unos con otros; no seáis altivos en vuestro pensar, sino condescendiendo con los humildes[n](AH). No seáis sabios en vuestra propia opinión(AI). 17 Nunca paguéis a nadie mal por mal(AJ). Respetad[o] lo bueno delante de todos los hombres(AK). 18 Si es posible, en cuanto de vosotros dependa(AL), estad en paz con todos los hombres(AM). 19 Amados, nunca os venguéis(AN) vosotros mismos, sino dad lugar a la ira de Dios, porque escrito está: Mia es la venganza, yo pagare, dice el Señor(AO). 20 Pero si tu enemigo tiene hambre, dale de comer; y si tiene sed, dale de beber, porque haciendo esto, carbones encendidos amontonarás sobre su cabeza(AP). 21 No seas vencido por el mal, sino vence con el bien el mal.

Romans 12
King James Version
12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
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 hath 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 Christ, 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 teacheth, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave 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; serving the Lord;
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 lieth 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 mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
