羅馬書 12
基督裏的新生活
1 所以，弟兄們，我以上帝的慈悲勸你們，將身體獻上當作活祭，是聖潔的，是上帝所喜悅的，你們如此事奉乃是理所當然的t。 2 不要效法這個世界，只要心意更新而變化，叫你們察驗何為上帝的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。
3 我憑著所賜我的恩對你們每一位說：不要把自己看得太高，要照著上帝所分給各人的信心來衡量，看得合乎中道。 4 正如我們一個身子上有好些肢體，肢體也不都有一樣的用處。 5 這樣，我們許多人在基督裏是一個身體，互相聯絡作肢體。 6 按著所得的恩典，我們各有不同的恩賜：或說預言，要按著信心的程度說預言； 7 或服事的，要專一服事；或教導的，要專一教導； 8 或勸勉的，要專一勸勉；施捨的，要誠實；治理的，要殷勤；憐憫人的，要樂意。
基督徒的生活守則
9 愛，不可虛假；惡，要厭惡；善，要親近。 10 愛弟兄，要相親相愛；恭敬人，要彼此推讓； 11 殷勤，不可懶惰。要靈裏火熱；常常服侍主。 12 在盼望中要喜樂；在患難中要忍耐；禱告要恆切。 13 聖徒有缺乏，要供給；異鄉客，要殷勤款待。 14 要祝福迫害你們t的，要祝福，不可詛咒。 15 要與喜樂的人同樂；要與哀哭的人同哭。 16 要彼此同心，不要心高氣傲，倒要俯就卑微的人。不要自以為聰明。 17 不要以惡報惡，眾人以為美的事要留心去做。 18 若是可行，總要盡力與眾人和睦。 19 各位親愛的，不要自己伸冤，寧可給主的憤怒留地步，因為經上記著：「主說：『伸冤在我，我必報應。』」 20 不但如此，「你的仇敵若餓了，就給他吃；若渴了，就給他喝。因為你這樣做，就是把炭火堆在他的頭上。」 21 不要被惡所勝，反要以善勝惡。

Christ Brings New Life
1 Dear friends, God is good. So I beg you to offer your bodies to him as a living sacrifice, pure and pleasing. That's the most sensible way to serve God.
2 Don't be like the people of this world, but let God change the way you think. Then you will know how to do everything that is good and pleasing to him.
3 I realize God has treated me with undeserved grace, and so I tell each of you not to think you are better than you really are. Use good sense and measure yourself by the amount of faith that God has given you. 4 t A body is made up of many parts, and each of them has its own use.
5 That's how it is with us. There are many of us, but we each are part of the body of Christ, as well as part of one another.
6 t God has also given each of us different gifts to use. If we can prophesy, we should do it according to the amount of faith we have. 7 If we can serve others, we should serve. If we can teach, we should teach.
8 If we can encourage others, we should encourage them. If we can give, we should be generous. If we are leaders, we should do our best. If we are good to others, we should do it cheerfully.Rules for Christian Living
9 Be sincere in your love for others. Hate everything that is evil and hold tight to everything that is good. 10 Love each other as brothers and sisters and honor others more than you do yourself. 11 Never give up. Eagerly follow the Holy Spirit and serve the Lord. 12 Let your hope make you glad. Be patient in time of trouble and never stop praying.
13 Take care of God's needy people and welcome strangers into your home.
14 t Ask God to bless everyone who mistreats you. Ask him to bless them and not to curse them. 15 t When others are happy, be happy with them, and when they are sad, be sad. 16 t Be friendly with everyone. Don't be proud and feel that you know more than others. Make friends with ordinary people.t 17 Don't mistreat someone who has mistreated you. But try to earn the respect of others,
18 and do your best to live at peace with everyone.
19 t Dear friends, don't try to get even. Let God take revenge. In the Scriptures the Lord says,
“I am the one to take revenge
and pay them back.”
20 t The Scriptures also say,
“If your enemies are hungry,
give them something to eat.
And if they are thirsty,
give them something
to drink.
This will be the same
as piling burning coals
on their heads.”
21 Don't let evil defeat you, but defeat evil with good.
