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.
2ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲭⲏⲙⲁ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲁⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲉⲃⲧ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲃⲉⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϯ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲓⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲡⲓⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ⲉⲑⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧϫⲏⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
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.
3ϯϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϣⲉ ⳿ⲉⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉϭⲓ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲫⲱϣ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁϩϯ.
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.
4⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲱⲟⲩ.
4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function,
5ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲓⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏ ⲟⲩ.
5so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.
6⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲩϣⲉⲃⲓⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⳿ⲡϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲉⲧⲧⲟⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲓⲑⲟⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩϯ.
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;
7⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲇⲓ⳿ⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ.
7if it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;
8⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϯⲛⲟⲙϯ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲑⲁⲧϩⲏⲧ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧϩⲁⲡⲗⲟⲩⲥ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲭⲏ ϧⲁϫⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲡⲟⲩⲇⲏ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁ⳿ⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲓ.
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.

9Love must be sincere. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good.

10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.

11Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer.

13Share with the saints who are in need. Practice hospitality.

14Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse.

15Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.

16Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but enjoy the company of the lowly. Do not be conceited.

17Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in the eyes of everybody.

18If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone.

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.”

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.”

21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
