12:1 Different ways to serve ‘the body’

12 So then, brothers and sisters, with compassion from God I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice—holy and pleasing to God—your logical and sacred service. 2 Don’t conform to the norms of this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, then you’ll be able to accept and approve God’s good, pleasing, and perfect intentions.

3 Because of the generosity which has been shown to me, I’m saying that none of you should think of yourself more highly than what’s appropriate, but rather you should be sensible about what you think of yourselves according to how much faith God’s allotted to each of you. 4 [ref]Just like one body has many components, and each individual component works differently, 5 so too we’re all part of one body in Messiah and we’re all parts of each other. 6 [ref]We have gifts according to the special generosity that was shown to us: if it’s prophecy, then do it in proportion to your faith, 7 or if it’s service, then serve, or teaching, then teach, 8 or encouraging, then encourage, or sharing, then be generous, or leading, then do it earnestly, or showing mercy, then do it cheerfully.

9 Let your love be without hypocrisy, deploring evil but being united in doing good. 10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love, preferring to honour one another above yourselves. 11 Be diligent rather than reluctant with a spirit that’s zealous to serve the master. 12 Be cheerful about your hope, enduring persecution and consistently praying. 13 Contribute to the needs of the believers and practice hospitality.

14 [ref]Bless anyone who persecutes you—be a blesser and not a curser. 15 Be cheerful along with others who are happy, but weep along with those who are weeping. 16 [ref]Treat others all the same—not treating some as higher and being condescending to those who are poorer. Don’t act shrewdly.

17 Don’t return evil to anyone, but do good to everyone. 18 If it’s possible for you all, be at peace with everyone. 19 Dear friends, don’t take revenge on others, but leave it to God’s severe anger, because it’s written:[ref] ‘Yahweh says, Vengeance belongs to me—I’ll be the one to repay.’ 20 [ref]But if your enemies are hungry, then feed them, and if they’re thirsty, then give them a drink, because you’ll be leaving them to their own shame and judgement. 21 Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with goodness.

12 Therefore I_am_exhorting you_all, brothers, by the compassions of_ the _god, to_present the bodies of_you_all a_sacrifice living, holy, to_ the _god well_pleasing, the logical sacred_service of_you_all.
2 And not be_conforming to_ the _age this, but be_being_transformed by_the renewal of_the mind, in_order that to_be_approving you_all, what is the will of_ the _god, the good, and well_pleasing, and perfect.
3 For/Because I_am_saying through the grace which having_been_given to_me, to_everyone which being among you_all, not to_be_over_esteeming beyond what it_is_fitting to_be_thinking, but to_be_thinking in_order that to_be_being_sensible, to_each as the god allotted a_measure of_faith.
4 For/Because just_as in one body, many members we_are_having, and the the_members all not the same is_having practicing, 5 thus the many, one body we_are in chosen_one/messiah, and which each one of_one_another members.
6 But having gifts according_to the grace which having_been_given to_us special:
whether prophecy, according_to the relationship of_the faith, 7 or service, in the service, or the one teaching, in the teaching, 8 or the one exhorting, in the exhortation, the one sharing, in generosity, the one leading, with earnestness, the one showing_mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let_your love be unhypocritical.
Abhoring the evil, being_joined_together to_ the _good, 10 with_the brotherly_love toward one_another dearly_devoted be, the in_honour one_another preferring, 11 the in_earnestness not reluctant, the in_spirit being_zealous, for_the master serving, 12 the in_hope rejoicing, the in_tribulation enduring, the in_prayer attending, 13 to_the needs of_the holy ones sharing, the in_hospitality pursuing.
14 Be_blessing the ones persecuting, you_all be_blessing and not be_cursing.
15 To_be_rejoicing with rejoicing ones, to_be_weeping with weeping ones.
16 The same thing toward one_another thinking, not the exalted things thinking, but to_the humble being_condescending.
Not be_becoming prudent with yourselves.
17 To_no_one evil for evil giving_back, providing good things before all people.
18 If possible which of you_all, with all people being_at_peace.
19 Not yourselves avenging, beloved, but give place to_ the _severe_anger, because/for it_has_been_written:
To_me vengeance is, I will_be_repaying, is_saying the_master.
20 But if may_be_hungering the enemy of_you, be_feeding him, if he_may_be_thirsting, be_giving_to_drink him, because/for this doing, charcoal of_fire you_will_be_heaping on the head of_him.
21 Not be_being_overcome by the evil, but be_overcoming with the good the evil.
