Romans 12 (WEBP)
[1] Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.
[2] Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.
[3] For I say through the grace that was given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
[4] For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,
[5] so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,
[6] having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
[7] or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;
[8] or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
[9] Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
[10] In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,
[11] not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,
[12] rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,
[13] contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.
[14] Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.
[15] Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
[16] Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.
[17] Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.
[18] If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
[19] Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”†
[20] Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”†
[21] Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12 (KJVS)
[1] I beseech G3870 (PresActInd) you G5209 therefore, G3767 brethren, G80 by G1223 the mercies G3628 of God, G2316 that ye present G3936 (AorActInf) your G5216 bodies G4983 a living G2198 (PresActPtc) sacrifice, G2378 holy, G40 acceptable G2101 unto God, G2316 [which is] your G5216 reasonable G3050 service. G2999
[2] And G2532 be G4964 not G3361 conformed G4964 (PresMidPasImpr) to this G5129 world: G165 but G235 be ye transformed G3339 (PresPasImpr) by the renewing G342 of your G5216 mind, G3563 that G1519 ye G5209 may prove G1381 (PresActInf) what G5101 [is] that good, G18 and G2532 acceptable, G2101 and G2532 perfect, G5046 will G2307 of God. G2316
[3] For G1063 I say, G3004 (PresActInd) through G1223 the grace G5485 given G1325 (AorPasPtc) unto me, G3427 to every man G3956 that is G5607 (PresPtc) among G1722 you, G5213 not G3361 to think [of himself] more G3844 highly G5252 (PresActInf) than G3739 he ought G1163 (PresInd) to think; G5426 (PresActInf) but G235 to think G5426 (PresActInf) soberly, G1519 G4993 (PresActInf) according as G5613 God G2316 hath dealt G3307 (AorActInd) to every man G1538 the measure G3358 of faith. G4102
[4] For G1063 as G2509 we have G2192 (PresActInd) many G4183 members G3196 in G1722 one G1520 body, G4983 and G1161 all G3956 members G3196 have G2192 (PresActInd) not G3756 the same G846 office: G4234
[5] So G3779 we, G2070 [being] many, G4183 are G2070 (PresInd) one G1520 body G4983 in G1722 Christ, G5547 and G1161 every G2596 one G1520 members G3196 one of another. G240
[6] Having G2192 (PresActPtc) then G1161 gifts G5486 differing G1313 according G2596 to the grace G5485 that is given G1325 (AorPasPtc) to us, G2254 whether G1535 prophecy, G4394 [let us prophesy] according G2596 to the proportion G356 of faith; G4102
[7] Or G1535 ministry, G1248 [let us wait] on G1722 [our] ministering: G1248 or G1535 he that teacheth, G1321 (PresActPtc) on G1722 teaching; G1319
[8] Or G1535 he that exhorteth, G3870 (PresActPtc) on G1722 exhortation: G3874 he that giveth, G3330 (PresActPtc) [let him do it] with G1722 simplicity; G572 he that ruleth, G4291 (PresMidPtc) with G1722 diligence; G4710 he that sheweth mercy, G1653 (PresActPtc) with G1722 cheerfulness. G2432
[9] [Let] love G26 (PresSubj) be without dissimulation. G505 Abhor G655 (PresActPtc) that which is evil; G4190 cleave G2853 (PresPasPtc) to that which is good. G18
[10] [Be] kindly affectioned G5387 one to another G1519 G240 with brotherly love; G5360 in honour G5092 preferring G4285 (PresMidPasDepPtc) one another; G240
[11] Not G3361 slothful G3636 in business; G4710 fervent G2204 (PresActPtc) in spirit; G4151 serving G1398 (PresActPtc) the Lord; G2962
[12] Rejoicing G5463 (PresActPtc) in hope; G1680 patient G5278 (PresActPtc) in tribulation; G2347 continuing instant G4342 (PresActPtc) in prayer; G4335
[13] Distributing G2841 (PresActPtc) to the necessity G5532 of saints; G40 given G1377 (PresActPtc) to hospitality. G5381
[14] Bless G2127 (PresActImpr) them which persecute G1377 (PresActPtc) you: G5209 bless, G2127 (PresActImpr) and G2532 curse G2672 (PresMidPasDepImpr) not. G3361
[15] Rejoice G5463 (PresActInf) with G3326 them that do rejoice, G5463 (PresActPtc) and G2532 weep G2799 (PresActInf) with G3326 them that weep. G2799 (PresActPtc)
[16] [Be] of the same G846 mind G5426 (PresActPtc) one toward another. G1519 G240 Mind G5426 (PresActPtc) not G3361 high things, G5308 but G235 condescend G4879 (PresMidPtc) to men of low estate. G5011 Be G1096 (PresMidPasDepImpr) not G3361 wise G5429 in G3844 your own conceits. G1438
[17] Recompense G591 (PresActPtc) to no man G3367 evil G2556 for G473 evil. G2556 Provide G4306 (PresMidPtc) things honest G2570 in the sight G1799 of all G3956 men. G444
[18] If G1487 it be possible, G1415 as much as lieth in G1537 you, G5216 live peaceably G1514 (PresActPtc) with G3326 all G3956 men. G444
[19] Dearly beloved, G27 avenge G1556 (PresActPtc) not G3361 yourselves, G1438 but G235 [rather] give G1325 (Aor2ActImpr) place G5117 unto wrath: G3709 for G1063 it is written, G1125 (PerfPasInd) Vengeance G1557 [is] mine; G1698 I G1473 will repay, G467 (FutActInd) saith G3004 (PresActInd) the Lord. G2962
[20] Therefore G3767 if G1437 thine G4675 enemy G2190 hunger, G3983 (PresActSubj) feed G5595 (PresActImpr) him; G846 if G1437 he thirst, G1372 (PresActSubj) give G4222 him G846 drink: G4222 (PresActImpr) for G1063 in so G5124 doing G4160 (PresActPtc) thou shalt heap G4987 (FutActInd) coals G440 of fire G4442 on G1909 his G846 head. G2776
[21] Be G3528 not G3361 overcome G3528 (PresPasImpr) of G5259 evil, G2556 but G235 overcome G3528 (PresActImpr) evil G2556 with G1722 good. G18
Young’s Literal Translation
Romans 12 (YLT)
[1] I call upon you, therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice-living, sanctified, acceptable to God-your intelligent service;
[2] and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what is the will of God-the good, and acceptable, and perfect.
[3] For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,
[4] for as in one body we have many members, and all the members have not the same office,
[5] so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another.
[6] And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy-‘According to the proportion of faith!’
[7] or ministration-‘In the ministration!’ or he who is teaching-‘In the teaching!’
[8] or he who is exhorting-‘In the exhortation!’ he who is sharing-‘In simplicity!’ he who is leading-‘In diligence!’ he who is doing kindness-‘In cheerfulness.’
[9] The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;
[10] in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;
[11] in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;
[12] in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;
[13] to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing.
[14] Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not;
[15] to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping,
[16] of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit;
[17] giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.
[18] If possible-so far as in you-with all men being in peace;
[19] not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, ‘Vengeance is Mine,
[20] I will recompense again, saith the Lord;’ if, then, thine enemy doth hunger, feed him; if he doth thirst, give him drink; for this doing, coals of fire thou shalt heap upon his head;
[21] Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.
