罗马书 12
基督里的新生活
1 所以，弟兄们，我以上帝的慈悲劝你们，将身体献上当作活祭，是圣洁的，是上帝所喜悦的，你们如此事奉乃是理所当然的t。 2 不要效法这个世界，只要心意更新而变化，叫你们察验何为上帝的善良、纯全、可喜悦的旨意。
3 我凭着所赐我的恩对你们每一位说：不要把自己看得太高，要照着上帝所分给各人的信心来衡量，看得合乎中道。 4 正如我们一个身子上有好些肢体，肢体也不都有一样的用处。 5 这样，我们许多人在基督里是一个身体，互相联络作肢体。 6 按着所得的恩典，我们各有不同的恩赐：或说预言，要按着信心的程度说预言； 7 或服事的，要专一服事；或教导的，要专一教导； 8 或劝勉的，要专一劝勉；施舍的，要诚实；治理的，要殷勤；怜悯人的，要乐意。
基督徒的生活守则
9 爱，不可虚假；恶，要厌恶；善，要亲近。 10 爱弟兄，要相亲相爱；恭敬人，要彼此推让； 11 殷勤，不可懒惰。要灵里火热；常常服侍主。 12 在盼望中要喜乐；在患难中要忍耐；祷告要恒切。 13 圣徒有缺乏，要供给；异乡客，要殷勤款待。 14 要祝福迫害你们t的，要祝福，不可诅咒。 15 要与喜乐的人同乐；要与哀哭的人同哭。 16 要彼此同心，不要心高气傲，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 若是可行，总要尽力与众人和睦。 19 各位亲爱的，不要自己伸冤，宁可给主的愤怒留地步，因为经上记着：“主说：‘伸冤在我，我必报应。’” 20 不但如此，“你的仇敌若饿了，就给他吃；若渴了，就给他喝。因为你这样做，就是把炭火堆在他的头上。” 21 不要被恶所胜，反要以善胜恶。

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.
