Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1Obsecro itaque vos fratres per misericordiam Dei, ut exhibeatis corpora vestra hostiam viventem, sanctam, Deo placentem, rationabile obsequium vestrum.
1Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.
2Et nolite conformari huic sæculo, sed reformamini in novitate sensus vestri: ut probetis quæ sit voluntas Dei bona, et beneplacens, et perfecta.
2Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.
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.
3For I say through the grace that was given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
4Sicut enim in uno corpore multa membra habemus, omnia autem membra non eumdem actum habent:
4For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,
5ita multi unum corpus sumus in Christo, singuli autem alter alterius membra.
5so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,
6Habentes autem donationes secundum gratiam, quæ data est nobis, differentes: sive prophetiam secundum rationem fidei,
6having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
7sive ministerium in ministrando, sive qui docet in doctrina,
7or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;
8qui exhortatur in exhortando, qui tribuit in simplicitate, qui præest in sollicitudine, qui miseretur in hilaritate.
8or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
9Dilectio sine simulatione: odientes malum, adhærentes bono:
9Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
10caritate fraternitatis invicem diligentes: honore invicem prævenientes:
10In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,
11sollicitudine non pigri: spiritu ferventes: Domino servientes:
11not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,
12spe gaudentes: in tribulatione patientes: orationi instantes:
12rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,
13necessitatibus sanctorum communicantes: hospitalitatem sectantes.
13contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.
14Benedicite persequentibus vos: benedicite, et nolite maledicere.
14Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.
15Gaudere cum gaudentibus, flere cum flentibus:
15Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
16idipsum invicem sentientes: non alta sapientes, sed humilibus consentientes. Nolite esse prudentes apud vosmetipsos:
16Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.
17nulli malum pro malo reddentes: providentes bona non tantum coram Deo, sed etiam coram omnibus hominibus.
17Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.
18Si fieri potest, quod ex vobis est, cum omnibus hominibus pacem habentes:
18If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
19non vosmetipsos defendentes carissimi, sed date locum iræ. Scriptum est enim: Mihi vindicta: ego retribuam, dicit Dominus.
19Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”
20Sed si esurierit inimicus tuus, ciba illum: si sitit, potum da illi: hoc enim faciens, carbones ignis congeres super caput ejus.
20Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21Noli vinci a malo, sed vince in bono malum.
21Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
