¹献上自己当作活祭

¹I 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不要模仿这个世代，倒要借着心意的更新而改变过来，使你们可以察验出什么是　神的旨意，就是察验出什么是美好的、蒙他悦纳的和完全的事。

²and 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信徒行事为人的准则我凭着所赐给我的恩典，对你们各人说，不可自视太高，高于所当看的，反而应该照着　神分给各人信心的大小，看得适中。

³For 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就像一个身体有许多肢体，各肢体都有不同的功用；

⁴for as in one body we have many members, and all the members have not the same office,

⁵照样，我们大家在基督里成为一个身体，也是互相作肢体。

⁵so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another.

⁶照着所赐给我们的恩典，我们各有不同的恩赐：说预言的，就应当照着信心的程度去说；

⁶And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy — `According to the proportion of faith!`

⁷服事人的，就应当照着恩赐去服事；教导的，就应当照着恩赐教导；

⁷or ministration — `In the ministration!` or he who is teaching — `In the teaching!`

⁸劝慰的，就应当照着恩赐劝慰；把财物分给人的要真诚；领导的要殷勤；行善的要乐意。

⁸or 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爱，不可虚伪；恶，要厌恶；善，要持守。

⁹The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;

¹⁰要以手足之爱彼此相亲，用恭敬的心互相礼让。

¹⁰in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;

¹¹殷勤不可懒惰，心灵要火热，常常服事主；

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

¹²在盼望中要喜乐，在患难中要坚忍，祷告要恒切。

¹²in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;

¹³圣徒有缺乏的，就要接济；客旅要热诚地款待。

¹³to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing.

¹⁴迫害你们的，要为他们祝福；只可祝福，不可咒诅。

¹⁴Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not;

¹⁵要与喜乐的人一同喜乐，与哀哭的人一同哀哭。

¹⁵to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping,

¹⁶要彼此同心，不可心高气傲，倒要俯就卑微的。不可自以为聪明。

¹⁶of 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不可以恶报恶。大家以为美的事，要努力去作。

¹⁷giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.

¹⁸可能的话，总要尽你们的所能与人和睦。

¹⁸If possible — so far as in you — with all men being in peace;

¹⁹亲爱的啊，不要为自己伸冤，宁可等候主的忿怒，因为经上记着，主说：“伸冤在我，我必报应。”

¹⁹not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, `Vengeance [is] Mine,

²⁰相反地，“如果你的仇敌饿了，就给他吃；如果渴了，就给他喝。因为你这样作，就是把炭火堆在他的头上。”

²⁰I 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不可被恶所胜，反要以善胜恶。

²¹Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.
