The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 obsecro itaque vos fratres per misericordiam Dei ut exhibeatis corpora vestra hostiam viventem sanctam Deo placentem rationabile obsequium vestrum
1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
2 et nolite conformari huic saeculo sed reformamini in novitate sensus vestri ut probetis quae sit voluntas Dei bona et placens et perfecta
2
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
3 dico enim per gratiam quae data est mihi omnibus qui sunt inter vos non plus sapere quam oportet sapere sed sapere ad sobrietatem unicuique sicut Deus divisit mensuram fidei
3
For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
4 sicut enim in uno corpore multa membra habemus omnia autem membra non eundem actum habent
4
For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,
5 ita multi unum corpus sumus in Christo singuli autem alter alterius membra
5
so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
6 habentes autem donationes secundum gratiam quae data est nobis differentes sive prophetiam secundum rationem fidei
6
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith;
7 sive ministerium in ministrando sive qui docet in doctrina
7
or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching;
8 qui exhortatur in exhortando qui tribuit in simplicitate qui praeest in sollicitudine qui miseretur in hilaritate
8
he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 dilectio sine simulatione odientes malum adherentes bono
9
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.
10 caritatem fraternitatis invicem diligentes honore invicem praevenientes
10
Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;
11 sollicitudine non pigri spiritu ferventes Domino servientes
11
not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
12 spe gaudentes in tribulatione patientes orationi instantes
12
rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;
13 necessitatibus sanctorum communicantes hospitalitatem sectantes
13
distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.
14 benedicite persequentibus benedicite et nolite maledicere
14
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15 gaudere cum gaudentibus flere cum flentibus
15
Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
16 id ipsum invicem sentientes non alta sapientes sed humilibus consentientes nolite esse prudentes apud vosmet ipsos
16
Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
17 nulli malum pro malo reddentes providentes bona non tantum coram Deo sed etiam coram omnibus hominibus
17
Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.
18 si fieri potest quod ex vobis est cum omnibus hominibus pacem habentes
18
If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
19 non vosmet ipsos defendentes carissimi sed date locum irae scriptum est enim mihi vindictam ego retribuam dicit Dominus
19
Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.
20 sed si esurierit inimicus tuus ciba illum si sitit potum da illi hoc enim faciens carbones ignis congeres super caput eius
20
Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head."
21 noli vinci a malo sed vince in bono malum
21
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
