Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
1Obsecro itaque vos fratres per misericordiam Dei, ut exhibeatis corpora vestra hostiam viventem, sanctam, Deo placentem, rationabile obsequium vestrum.
2Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
2Et nolite conformari huic sæculo, sed reformamini in novitate sensus vestri: ut probetis quæ sit voluntas Dei bona, et beneplacens, et perfecta.
3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you.
3Dico 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.
4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function,
4Sicut enim in uno corpore multa membra habemus, omnia autem membra non eumdem actum habent:
5so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.
5ita multi unum corpus sumus in Christo, singuli autem alter alterius membra.
6We have different gifts according to the grace given us. If one’s gift is prophecy, let him use it in proportion to his faith;
6Habentes autem donationes secundum gratiam, quæ data est nobis, differentes: sive prophetiam secundum rationem fidei,
7if it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;
7sive ministerium in ministrando, sive qui docet in doctrina,
8if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is giving, let him give generously; if it is leading, let him lead with diligence; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
8qui exhortatur in exhortando, qui tribuit in simplicitate, qui præest in sollicitudine, qui miseretur in hilaritate.
9Love must be sincere. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good.
9Dilectio sine simulatione: odientes malum, adhærentes bono:
10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.
10caritate fraternitatis invicem diligentes: honore invicem prævenientes:
11Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
11sollicitudine non pigri: spiritu ferventes: Domino servientes:
12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer.
12spe gaudentes: in tribulatione patientes: orationi instantes:
13Share with the saints who are in need. Practice hospitality.
13necessitatibus sanctorum communicantes: hospitalitatem sectantes.
14Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse.
14Benedicite persequentibus vos: benedicite, et nolite maledicere.
15Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.
15Gaudere cum gaudentibus, flere cum flentibus:
16Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but enjoy the company of the lowly. Do not be conceited.
16idipsum invicem sentientes: non alta sapientes, sed humilibus consentientes. Nolite esse prudentes apud vosmetipsos:
17Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in the eyes of everybody.
17nulli malum pro malo reddentes: providentes bona non tantum coram Deo, sed etiam coram omnibus hominibus.
18If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone.
18Si fieri potest, quod ex vobis est, cum omnibus hominibus pacem habentes:
19Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”
19non vosmetipsos defendentes carissimi, sed date locum iræ. Scriptum est enim: Mihi vindicta: ego retribuam, dicit Dominus.
20On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
20Sed si esurierit inimicus tuus, ciba illum: si sitit, potum da illi: hoc enim faciens, carbones ignis congeres super caput ejus.
21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
21Noli vinci a malo, sed vince in bono malum.
