Revised Literal Translation

1I beseechG3870 youG4771 thereforeG3767, brethrenG80, byG1223 the merciesG3588G3628 of GodG3588G2316, that ye presentG3936 yourG4771 bodiesG3588G4983 aG2378 livingG2198 sacrificeG2378, holyG40, acceptableG2101 unto GodG3588G2316, which is yourG4771 reasonableG3050 serviceG2999. 2AndG2532 beG4964 notG3361 conformedG4964 toG3588G165 thisG3778 worldG3588G165: butG235 be ye transformedG3339 by the renewingG3588G342 ofG3588G3563 yourG4771 mindG3588G3563, thatG1519 yeG4771 may proveG1381 whatG5101 is thatG3588G2307 goodG18, andG2532 acceptableG2101, andG2532 perfectG5046, willG3588G2307 of GodG3588G2316. 3ForG1063 I sayG3004, throughG1223 the graceG3588G5485 givenG3588G1325 unto meG1473, to every manG3956 that isG3588G1510 amongG1722 youG4771, notG3361 to thinkG5252 of himself more highlyG5252 thanG3844 he oughtG1163 to thinkG5426; butG235 to thinkG5426 soberlyG4993, according asG5613 GodG3588G2316 hath dealtG3307 to every manG1538 the measureG3358 of faithG4102. 4

ForG1063 asG2509 we haveG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG1161 allG3956 membersG3196 haveG2192 notG3756 theG4234 sameG846 officeG4234: 5SoG3779 weG1510, being manyG4183, areG1510 oneG1520 bodyG4983 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG1161 everyG2596 oneG1520 membersG3196 one of anotherG240. 6

HavingG2192 thenG1161 giftsG5486 differingG1313 according toG2596 the graceG3588G5485 that is givenG1325 to usG1473, whetherG1535 prophecyG4394, let us prophesy according toG2596 the proportionG3588G356 of faithG3588G4102; 7OrG1535 ministryG1248, let us wait onG1722 our ministeringG3588G1248: orG1535 he that teachethG1321, onG1722 teachingG3588G1319; 8OrG1535 he that exhortethG3588G3870, onG1722 exhortationG3588G3874: he that givethG3588G3330, let him do it withG1722 simplicityG572; he that rulethG3588G4291, withG1722 diligenceG4710; he that sheweth mercyG3588G1653, withG1722 cheerfulnessG2432.

9Let loveG3588G26 be without dissimulationG505. AbhorG655 that which is evilG3588G4190; cleaveG2853 to that which is goodG3588G18. 10Be kindly affectionedG5387 oneG240 toG1519 anotherG240 with brotherly loveG3588G5360; in honourG3588G5092 preferringG4285 one anotherG240; 11NotG3361 slothfulG3636 in businessG3588G4710; ferventG2204 in spiritG3588G4151; servingG1398 the LordG3588G2962; 12RejoicingG5463 in hopeG3588G1680; patientG5278 in tribulationG3588G2347; continuing instantG4342 in prayerG3588G4335; 13DistributingG2841 to the necessityG3588G5532 of saintsG40; given toG1377 hospitalityG3588G5381. 14BlessG2127 them which persecuteG1377 youG4771: blessG2127, andG2532 curseG2672 notG3361. 15RejoiceG5463 withG3326 them that do rejoiceG5463, andG2532 weepG2799 withG3326 them that weepG2799. 16Be ofG5426 the sameG846 mindG5426 oneG240 towardG1519 anotherG240. MindG5426 notG3361 high thingsG5308, butG235 condescendG4879 to men of low estateG5011. BeG1096 notG3361 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438. 17RecompenseG591 to no manG3367 evilG2556 forG473 evilG2556. ProvideG4306 things honestG2570 in the sight ofG1799 allG3956 menG444. 18IfG1487 it be possibleG1415, as much as liethG3588 inG1537 youG4771, live peaceablyG1514 withG3326 allG3956 menG444.

19Dearly belovedG27, avengeG1556 notG3361 yourselvesG1438, butG235 rather giveG1325 placeG5117 unto wrathG3588G3709: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, VengeanceG1557 is mineG1473; IG1473 will repayG467, saithG3004 the LordG2962. 20ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 thineG4771 enemyG2190 hungerG3983, feedG5595 himG846; ifG1437 he thirstG1372, giveG4222 himG846 drinkG4222: forG1063 in soG3778 doingG4160 thou shalt heapG4987 coalsG440 of fireG4442 onG1909 hisG846 headG3588G2776. 21BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
