The Latin Vulgate VUL
Revised Standard Version RSV
1 obsecro itaque vos fratres per misericordiam Dei ut exhibeatis corpora vestra hostiam viventem sanctam Deo placentem rationabile obsequium vestrum
1
I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
2 et nolite conformari huic saeculo sed reformamini in novitate sensus vestri ut probetis quae sit voluntas Dei bona et placens et perfecta
2
Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
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 by the grace given to me I bid every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him.
4 sicut enim in uno corpore multa membra habemus omnia autem membra non eundem actum habent
4
For as in one body we have many members, and 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, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
6 habentes autem donationes secundum gratiam quae data est nobis differentes sive prophetiam secundum rationem fidei
6
Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith;
7 sive ministerium in ministrando sive qui docet in doctrina
7
if service, in our serving; he who teaches, in his teaching;
8 qui exhortatur in exhortando qui tribuit in simplicitate qui praeest in sollicitudine qui miseretur in hilaritate
8
he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who contributes, in liberality; he who gives aid, with zeal; he who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 dilectio sine simulatione odientes malum adherentes bono
9
Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good;
10 caritatem fraternitatis invicem diligentes honore invicem praevenientes
10
love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honor.
11 sollicitudine non pigri spiritu ferventes Domino servientes
11
Never flag in zeal, be aglow with the Spirit, serve the Lord.
12 spe gaudentes in tribulatione patientes orationi instantes
12
Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
13 necessitatibus sanctorum communicantes hospitalitatem sectantes
13
Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality.
14 benedicite persequentibus benedicite et nolite maledicere
14
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
15 gaudere cum gaudentibus flere cum flentibus
15
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
16 id ipsum invicem sentientes non alta sapientes sed humilibus consentientes nolite esse prudentes apud vosmet ipsos
16
Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; never be conceited.
17 nulli malum pro malo reddentes providentes bona non tantum coram Deo sed etiam coram omnibus hominibus
17
Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.
18 si fieri potest quod ex vobis est cum omnibus hominibus pacem habentes
18
If possible, so far as it depends upon you, live peaceably with all.
19 non vosmet ipsos defendentes carissimi sed date locum irae scriptum est enim mihi vindictam ego retribuam dicit Dominus
19
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; 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
No, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head."
21 noli vinci a malo sed vince in bono malum
21
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
