1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

1 Obsecro itaque vos fratres per misericordiam Dei, ut exhibeatis corpora vestra hostiam viventem, sanctam, Deo placentem, rationabile obsequium vestrum.

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your

BA ⟨the⟩

mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

2 Et nolite conformari huic sæculo, sed reformamini in novitate sensus vestri: ut probetis quæ sit voluntas Dei bona, et beneplacens, et perfecta.

3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

3 Dico enim per gratiam quæ data est mihi, omnibus qui sunt inter vos, non plus sapere quam oportet sapere, sed sapere ad sobrietatem: et unicuique sicut Deus divisit mensuram fidei.

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

4 Sicut enim in uno corpore multa membra habemus, omnia autem membra non eumdem actum habent:

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

5 ita multi unum corpus sumus in Christo, singuli autem alter alterius membra.

6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

6 Habentes autem donationes secundum gratiam, quæ data est nobis, differentes: sive prophetiam secundum rationem fidei,

7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth

A ⟨teaching, let us wait⟩

, on teaching;

7 sive ministerium in ministrando, sive qui docet in doctrina,

8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

8 qui exhortatur in exhortando, qui tribuit in simplicitate, qui præest in sollicitudine, qui miseretur in hilaritate.

9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

9 ¶ Dilectio sine simulatione: odientes malum, adhærentes bono:

10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

10 caritate fraternitatis invicem diligentes: honore invicem prævenientes:

11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

11 sollicitudine non pigri: spiritu ferventes: Domino servientes:

12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

12 spe gaudentes: in tribulatione patientes: orationi instantes:

13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

13 necessitatibus sanctorum communicantes: hospitalitatem sectantes.

14 Bless them which persecute you

B omit

: bless, and curse not.

14 Benedicite persequentibus vos: benedicite, et nolite maledicere.

15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and

ℵB omit

weep with them that weep.

15 Gaudere cum gaudentibus, flere cum flentibus:

16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

16 idipsum invicem sentientes: non alta sapientes, sed humilibus consentientes. Nolite esse prudentes apud vosmetipsos:

17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

17 nulli malum pro malo reddentes: providentes bona non tantum coram Deo, sed etiam coram omnibus hominibus.

18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with

A(A²?) ⟨in the sight of God and in the sight of⟩

all men.

18 Si fieri potest, quod ex vobis est, cum omnibus hominibus pacem habentes:

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

19 non vosmetipsos defendentes carissimi, sed date locum iræ. Scriptum est enim: Mihi vindicta: ego retribuam, dicit Dominus.

20 Therefore

ℵBA ⟨But⟩

if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

20 Sed si esurierit inimicus tuus, ciba illum: si sitit, potum da illi: hoc enim faciens, carbones ignis congeres super caput ejus.

21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

21 Noli vinci a malo, sed vince in bono malum.
