To the Romans 12
Our service
- Therefore I appeal to you, my brothers, through the compassions of Yâ-hwéh to present your convocation bodies (52) a living, pure, well-pleasing offering to the Power, by your service of the Word. 2. And do not conform yourselves to this age, instead be transformed to the renovation of your understanding, for you to discern what the good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of Yâ-hwéh is. 3. For through the favor that is granted to me, I say to everyone that is among you, to not be thinking much of yourselves beyond that which you should be disposed; instead to be disposed unto being sober-minded, according to the measured portion of belief Yâ-hwéh has apportioned to each one. [Chanówkh 60:1-5] 4. For even as in one body we have many members, but the members do not all have the same function; 5. Thus also we, the many, are one body in the Anointed, and each one are members of each other, 6. But we have different gifts according to the favor which is given to us: whether the gift is of preillumination – proportionally to one's belief, 7. Or attendance service – in service, or the instructor – in teaching, 8. Or the consoler – in the encouragement; he that gives to others – in simple sincerity, the leader – in diligence, he that shows favor – with cheerfulness. 9. Let affectionate love be unfaked, utterly detesting evil, sticking to good, 10. In brotherly love towards one another, being fraternal; in esteem, preferring each other; 11. In eagerness, not being lazy; in spirit, fervent, bondserving your Sovereign; 12. In your hope, rejoicing; in your oppression, enduring; in prayer, steadfastly continuing. 13. To the needs of the pure ones, sharing in common, pursuing hospitality towards strangers.
Our behavior towards this World, especially apostates
- Speak well (53) of those that persecute you: Bless and do not curse. 15. Cheer up with the cheerful, and weep with weepers; 16. And having the same disposition for each other, do not regard the lofty things, rather be accompanying the lowly – do not be conceited about your selves. 17. And rendering to no mortal man evil for evil, preparing for virtuous works in the sight of all sons of mortal man. 18. If possible, in that which originates from you, being at peace with all sons of mortal man, 19. not being the father of the sovereign (’avadówn) being ones (m.) avenging your (m.) selves, oh beloved ones (m.)! Instead, give ye up the unclean one being the place, being the sons not being the one (f.) [~fiery one (néphesh (f.))] with the anger, because it has been written of the Yâ-hwéh belonging to me, "[Within, among the ones (m.) of one overcoming the demon (yisrâ’ë ́l) belonging to the day [~middle one overcoming the demon (yisrâ’ë ́l) not of the Light (1 Moshéh 1:4-6)] of] Vengeance, I shall retribute. [Within, among the ones (m.) of Yisrâ’ë ́l, during the time-period whenever, where he might be tripped up without regard for the foot of the same ones of the Son, because this one [~Yehuwthâ ́h] imminently is the day [~middle Yisrâ’ë ́l not of the Light (1 Moshéh 1:4-6)], of the destruction apart of the same ones of the Son of Yisrâ’ë ́l, and it happens accompanying the things prepared pertaining to your sister:]" [5 Moshéh 32:35] dictates Yâ-hwéh. 20. Therefore: "If ever should famish with hunger one without regard, an enemy the ones are working, nourish him the Son! If ever he should thirst, give him to drink the Son! Because doing this thing of Yâ-hwéh, live coals of fire you shall have stacked up, because Yisrâ’ë ́l outside is not of the One, the great Head of him is the Son, but one without regard of Yâ-hwéh, Yâ-hwéh shall recompense to you the Goodness!" [Proverbs 25:21-22] 21. Do not of the father of the sovereign (’avadówn) be conquered under one overcoming the demon (yisrâ’ë ́l) not being the ones (m.) of one evil (n.), rather, conquer within, the ones (m.) among one overcoming the demon (yisrâ’ë ́l) of the ones (m./n.) not pertaining to One good (n.), belonging to the ones (n./m.), not being one evil (n.)! [Songs 117:2]
(52) Judging from the context, Páulus is speaking "bodies of believers" that is, convocations.
(53) This goes in keeping with the New Covenant will of Yâ-hwéh to persuade and not to condemn. Moreover Yâ-hwéh says vengeance belongs to Him as also retribution. This is here rendered literally since to say "Bless" here might seem to imply to pray for the hardened, which would contradict scripture which says not to.
