Romans 12

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

I beseche you therfore brethre by ye mercyfulnes of God that ye make youre bodyes aquicke sacrifise holy and acceptable vnto God which is youre resonable seruynge of god.

2 And 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. (aiōn g165)

And fassion not youre selves lyke vnto this worlde: But be ye chaunged in youre shape by the renuynge of youre wittes that ye maye fele what thynge that good yt acceptable and perfaycte will of god is. (aiōn g165)

3 For 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.

For I saye (thorowe the grace that vnto me geve is) to every man amonge you that noman esteme of him selfe moare then it becometh him to esteme: but that he discretely iudge of him selfe accordynge as God hath dealte to every man the measure of fayth.

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

As we have many members in one body and all members have not one office:

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

so we beynge many are one body in Christ and every man (amoge oure selves) one anothers mebers Seynge

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

that we have dyvers gyftes accordynge to the grace that is geven vnto vs: yf eny man have ye gyft of prophesye let him have it that it be agreynge vnto the fayth.

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

Let him that hath an office wayte on his office. Let him that teacheth take hede to his doctrine.

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

Let him that exhorteth geve attendaunce to his exhortacion. Yf eny man geve let him do it with singlenes. Let him that ruleth do it with diligence. Yf eny man shewe mercy let him do it with cherfulnes.

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

Let love be wt out dissimulacion. Hate that which is evyll and cleave vnto that which is good.

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

Be kynde one to another with brotherly love. In gevynge honoure goo one before another.

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

Let not yt busynes which ye have in honde be tedious to you. Be fervet in ye sprete. Applye youre selves to ye tyme.

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

Reioyce in hope. Be paciet in tribulacion. Continue in prayer.

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

Distribute vnto the necessite of the saynctes and diligently to harboure.

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

Blesse the which persecute you: blesse but course not.

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

Be mery with the that are mery. Wepe wt them that wepe.

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

Be of lyke affeccion one towardes another. Be not hye mided: but make youreselves equall to the of ye lower sorte. Be not wyse in youre awne opinios.

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

Recopence to no ma evyll fore evyll. Provyde afore honde thinges honest in ye syght of all men.

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

Yf it be possible howbe it of youre parte have peace with all men.

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

Derly beloued avenge not youre selves but geve roume vnto the wrath of God. For it is written: vengeaunce is myne and I will rewarde saith the lorde.

20 But 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.

Terfore yf thyn enemy honger fede him: yf he thurst geve him drinke. For in so doynge thou shalt heape coles of fyre on his heed:

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

Be not overcome of evyll: But overcome evyll wt goodnes.
