Romans

1I BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mercy of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing unto God, your reasonable service.

2And be not conformed to this world; but be reformed in the newness of your mind, that you may prove what is the good, and the acceptable, and the perfect will of God.

3For I say, by the grace that is given me, to all that are among you, not to be more wise than it behoveth to be wise, but to be wise unto sobriety, and according as God hath divided to every one the measure of faith.

4For as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office:

5So we being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

6And having different gifts, according to the grace that is given us, either prophecy, to be used according to the rule of faith;

7Or ministry, in ministering; or he that teacheth, in doctrine;

8He that exhorteth, in exhorting; he that giveth, with simplicity; he that ruleth, with carefulness; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

9Let love be without dissimulation. Hating that which is evil, cleaving to that which is good.

10Loving one another with the charity of brotherhood, with honour preventing one another.

11In carefulness not slothful. In spirit fervent. Serving the Lord.

12Rejoicing in hope. Patient in tribulation. Instant in prayer.

13Communicating to the necessities of the saints. Pursuing hospitality.

14Bless them that persecute you: bless, and curse not.

15Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep.

16Being of one mind one towards another. Not minding high things, but consenting to the humble. Be not wise in your own conceits.

17To no man rendering evil for evil. Providing good things, not only in the sight of God, but also in the sight of all men.

18If it be possible, as much as is in you, have peace with all men.

19Revenge not yourselves, my dearly beloved; but give place unto wrath, for it is written: Revenge is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.

20But if thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat; if he thirst, give him to drink. For, doing this, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.

21Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil by good.

基督里的新生活

1所以，弟兄们，我以 神的慈悲劝你们，将身体献上，当作活祭，是圣洁的，是 神所喜悦的；你们如此事奉乃是理所当然的。

2不要效法这个世界，只要心意更新而变化，叫你们察验何为 神的善良、纯全、可喜悦的旨意。

3我凭着所赐我的恩对你们各人说：不要看自己过于所当看的；要照着 神所分给各人信心的大小，看得合乎中道。

4正如我们一个身子上有好些肢体，肢体也不都是一样的用处。

5我们这许多人，在基督里成为一身，互相联络作肢体，也是如此。

6按我们所得的恩赐，各有不同。或说预言，就当照着信心的程度说预言；

7或作执事，就当专一执事；或作教导的，就当专一教导；

8或作劝化的，就当专一劝化；施舍的，就当诚实；治理的，就当殷勤；怜悯人的，就当甘心。

基督徒的生活守则

9爱人不可虚假。恶，要厌恶；善，要亲近。

10爱弟兄，要彼此亲热；恭敬人，要彼此推让。

11殷勤，不可懒惰；要心里火热，常常服事主。

12在指望中要喜乐；在患难中要忍耐；祷告要恒切。

13圣徒缺乏，要帮补；客，要一味地款待。

14逼迫你们的，要给他们祝福；只要祝福，不可咒诅。

15与喜乐的人要同乐；与哀哭的人要同哭。

16要彼此同心；不要志气高大，倒要俯就卑微的人。不要自以为聪明。

17不要以恶报恶；众人以为美的事要留心去做。

18若是能行，总要尽力与众人和睦。

19亲爱的弟兄，不要自己伸冤，宁可让步，听凭主怒；因为经上记着：「主说：『伸冤在我，我必报应。』」

20所以，「你的仇敌若饿了，就给他吃，若渴了，就给他喝；因为你这样行就是把炭火堆在他的头上。」

21你不可为恶所胜，反要以善胜恶。
