1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
Romans 12
1 God's mercies must move us to please God. 3 No man must think too well of himself, 6 but attend, every one, on that calling wherein he is placed. 9 Love, and many other duties, are required of us. 19 Revenge is specially forbidden.
12:1 ¶
I call upon you, therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice—living, sanctified, acceptable to God—your intelligent service;
12:2
and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what [is] the will of God—the good, and acceptable, and perfect.
12:3
For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,
12:4
for as in one body we have many members, and all the members have not the same office,
12:5
so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another.
12:6
And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy—'According to the proportion of faith!'
12:7
or ministration—'In the ministration!' or he who is teaching—'In the teaching!'
12:8
or he who is exhorting—'In the exhortation!' he who is sharing—'In simplicity!' he who is leading—'In diligence?' he who is doing kindness—'In cheerfulness.'
12:9
The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;
12:10
in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;
12:11
in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;
12:12
in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;
12:13
to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing.
12:14
Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not;
12:15
to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping,
12:16
of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit;
12:17
giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.
12:18
If possible—so far as in you—with all men being in peace;
12:19
not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, 'Vengeance [is] Mine,
12:20
I will recompense again, saith the Lord;' if, then, thine enemy doth hunger, feed him; if he doth thirst, give him drink; for this doing, coals of fire thou shalt heap upon his head;
12:21
Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.
