¹獻上自己當作活祭所以弟兄們，我憑著　神的仁慈勸你們，要把身體獻上，作聖潔而蒙　神悅納的活祭；這是你們理所當然的事奉。

¹Therefore 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不要模仿這個世代，倒要藉著心意的更新而改變過來，使你們可以察驗出甚麼是　神的旨意，就是察驗出甚麼是美好的、蒙他悅納的和完全的事。

²Don’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信徒行事為人的準則我憑著所賜給我的恩典，對你們各人說，不可自視太高，高於所當看的，反而應該照著　神分給各人信心的大小，看得適中。

³For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

⁴就像一個身體有許多肢體，各肢體都有不同的功用；

⁴For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,

⁵照樣，我們大家在基督裡成為一個身體，也是互相作肢體。

⁵so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

⁶照著所賜給我們的恩典，我們各有不同的恩賜：說預言的，就應當照著信心的程度去說；

⁶Having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, if prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

⁷服事人的，就應當照著恩賜去服事；教導的，就應當照著恩賜教導；

⁷or service, let us give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;

⁸勸慰的，就應當照著恩賜勸慰；把財物分給人的要真誠；領導的要殷勤；行善的要樂意。

⁸or he who exhorts, to his exhorting: he who gives, let him do it with liberality; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

⁹愛，不可虛偽；惡，要厭惡；善，要持守。

⁹Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

¹⁰要以手足之愛彼此相親，用恭敬的心互相禮讓。

¹⁰In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; in honor preferring one another;

¹¹殷勤不可懶惰，心靈要火熱，常常服事主；

¹¹not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

¹²在盼望中要喜樂，在患難中要堅忍，禱告要恆切。

¹²rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;

¹³聖徒有缺乏的，就要接濟；客旅要熱誠地款待。

¹³contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.

¹⁴迫害你們的，要為他們祝福；只可祝福，不可咒詛。

¹⁴Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.

¹⁵要與喜樂的人一同喜樂，與哀哭的人一同哀哭。

¹⁵Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.

¹⁶要彼此同心，不可心高氣傲，倒要俯就卑微的。不可自以為聰明。

¹⁶Be 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不可以惡報惡。大家以為美的事，要努力去作。

¹⁷Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.

¹⁸可能的話，總要盡你們的所能與人和睦。

¹⁸If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.

¹⁹親愛的啊，不要為自己伸冤，寧可等候主的忿怒，因為經上記著，主說：“伸冤在我，我必報應。”

¹⁹Don’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.” Deuteronomy 32:35

²⁰相反地，“如果你的仇敵餓了，就給他吃；如果渴了，就給他喝。因為你這樣作，就是把炭火堆在他的頭上。”

²⁰Therefore “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.” Proverbs 25:21-22

²¹不可被惡所勝，反要以善勝惡。

²¹Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
