New American Standard Bible 1995 NASB95
Wycliffe WYC
1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
1
Therefore, brethren, I beseech you by the mercy of God, that ye give your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, and your service reasonable.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
2
And do not ye be conformed to this world, but be ye reformed in newness of your wit, that ye prove which is the will of God, good, and well pleasing, and perfect.
3 For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you 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 each a measure of faith.
3
For I say, by the grace that is given to me, to all that be among you, that ye understand not more than it behooveth to understand, but for to understand to soberness [to not savour, or know, more than it behooveth to know, but to know to soberness]; and to each man, as God hath parted the measure of faith.
4 For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function,
4
For as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same deed [soothly all the members have not the same act, or deed];
5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
5
so we many be one body in Christ [so we be many, one body in Christ], and each be members one of another.
6 Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith;
6
Therefore we that have gifts diversing [Therefore having gifts diversing], after the grace that is given to us, either prophecy, after the reason of faith;
7 if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching;
7
either service, in ministering; either he that teacheth, in teaching; [either ministry, or service, in ministering; or he that teacheth, in teaching;]
8 or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
8
he that stirreth softly, in admonishing [he that stirreth softly, in exhortation, or admonishing]; he that giveth, in simpleness; he that is sovereign [+he that is prelate, or sovereign/he that is before], in busyness; he that hath mercy, in gladness.
9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good.
9
Love without feigning, hating evil, drawing to good [cleaving, or fast drawing, to good thing];
10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor;
10
loving together the charity of brotherhood. Each come before to worship (the) other [Coming before together in honour];
11 not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord ;
11
not slow in busyness, fervent in spirit, serving to the Lord,
12 rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer,
12
joying in hope, patient in tribulation, busy in prayer,
13 contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.
13
giving good to the needs of saints, keeping hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
14
Bless ye men that pursue you; bless ye, and do not ye curse;
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
15
for to joy with men that joy, for to weep with men that weep.
16 Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.
16
Feel ye the same thing together; not understanding high things, but consenting to meek things [+Feeling the same thing together; not savouring, or knowing, high things, but consenting to meek things, following meek fathers]. Do not ye be prudent with yourselves;
17 Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men.
17
to no man yielding evil for evil, but purvey ye good things, not only before God, but also before all men.
18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.
18
If it may be done, that that is of you, have ye peace with all men.
19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord .
19
Ye most dear brethren, not defending yourselves, but give ye place to wrath [Ye most dear-worthy brethren, not defending, or venging, yourselves, but give ye place to ire, or wrath]; for it is written, The Lord saith, To me vengeance, and I shall yield [again].
20 "BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD."
20
But if thine enemy hungereth, feed thou him; if he thirsteth, give thou drink to him; for thou doing this thing shalt gather together coals on his head. [But if thine enemy shall hunger, feed him; if he thirsteth, give drink to him; forsooth doing these things thou shalt gather together coals on his head.]
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
21
Do not thou be overcome of evil, but overcome thou evil by good.
