Therefore 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.
Don’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.
For 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.
12:4
በከመበውስተአሐዱነፍስትነብዙኅመለያልይብነወዘዘዚኣሁምግባሩ።
正如我們一個身子上有好些肢體,肢體也不都是一樣的用處。
For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,
12:5
ከማሁኵልነእንዘብዙኃንአሐዱሥጋንሕነበክርስቶስ።
我們這許多人,在基督裏成為一身,互相聯絡作肢體,也是如此。
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,
12:6
ወብክሙጸጋእግዚአብሔርወዘዘዚኣሁጸጋሁዘሂይትኔበይበሐሳበሃይማኖቱ።
按我們所得的恩賜,各有不同。或說預言,就當照着信心的程度說預言;
having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
12:7
ወዘሂይትለአክበመልእክቱወዘሂይሜህርበትምህርቱ።
或作執事,就當專一執事;或作教導的,就當專一教導;

12:8
ወዘሂይትፌሣሕበፍሥሓሁወዘሂይሠየምከመያሥልጥመልእክቶወዘሂይምሕርበምሒሮቱ።
或作勸化的,就當專一勸化;施捨的,就當誠實;治理的,就當殷勤;憐憫人的,就當甘心。
or 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.
12:9
ተፋቀሩዘእንበለኑፋቄተገኀሡእምኩይወትልዉሠናየ።
愛人不可虛假。惡,要厭惡;善,要親近。
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

12:15
ምስለዘይትፌሣሕተፈሥሑወምስለዘይበኪብክዩ።
與喜樂的人要同樂;與哀哭的人要同哭。
Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
12:16
ወከመዝኀልዩምስለቢጽክሙወትዕቢተሰኢተኀልዩወከመዘያቴሕትርእሶተመሰሉ።
要彼此同心;不要志氣高大,倒要俯就卑微的人 。不要自以為聰明。
Be 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.
12:17
ወኢትበሉጠቢባንንሕነወኢትፍድይዎእኩየለዘአሕሠመለክሙሠናየተናገሩምስለቢጽክሙ።

If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
