Römer 12 | الكتاب المقدس

ذبيحة حية

1 لِذَلِكَ أُنَاشِدُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، نَظَراً لِمَرَاحِمِ اللهِ، أَنْ تُقَدِّمُوا لَهُ أَجْسَادَكُمْ ذَبِيحَةً حَيَّةً مُقَدَّسَةً مَقْبُولَةً عِنْدَهُ، وَهِيَ عِبَادَتُكُمْ الْعَقْلِيَةُ.

2 وَلا تَتَشَبَّهُوا بِهَذَا الْعَالَمِ، بَلْ تَغَيَّرُوا بِتَجْدِيدِ الذِّهْنِ، لِتُمَيِّزُوا مَا هِيَ إِرَادَةُ اللهِ الصَّالِحَةُ الْمَقْبُولَةُ الْكَامِلَةُ.

الخدمة بتواضع في جسد المسيح

3 فَإِنِّي، بِالنِّعْمَةِ الْمَوْهُوبَةِ لِي، أُوْصِي كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ بَيْنَكُمْ أَلّا يُقَدِّرَ نَفْسَهُ تَقْدِيراً يَفُوقُ حَقَّهُ، بَلْ أَنْ يَكُونَ مُتَعَقِّلاً فِي تَفْكِيرِهِ، بِحَسَبِ مِقْدَارِ الإِيمَانِ الَّذِي قَسَمَهُ اللهُ لِكُلٍّ مِنْكُمْ.

4 فَكَمَا أَنَّ لَنَا فِي جَسَدٍ وَاحِدٍ أَعْضَاءَ كَثِيرَةً، وَلكِنْ لَيْسَ لِجَمِيعِ هذِهِ الأَعْضَاءِ عَمَلٌ وَاحِدٌ،

5 فَكَذَلِكَ نَحْنُ الْكَثِيرِينَ جَسَدٌ وَاحِدٌ فِي الْمَسِيحِ، وَكُلُّنَا أَعْضَاءُ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ.

6 وَلكِنْ، بِمَا أَنَّ الْمَوَاهِبَ مُوَزَّعَةٌ بِحَسَبِ النِّعْمَةِ الْمَوْهُوبَةِ لَنَا، (فَلْنُمَارِسْهَا): فَمَنْ وُهِبَ النُّبُوءَةَ، فَلْيَتَنَبَّأْ بِحَسَبِ مِقْدَارِ الإِيمَانِ؛

7 وَمَنْ وُهِبَ الْخِدْمَةَ، فَلْيَنْهَمِكْ فِي الْخِدْمَةِ؛ أَوِ التَّعْلِيمَ، فَفِي التَّعْلِيمِ؛

8 أَوِ الْوَعْظَ، فَفِي الْوَعْظِ؛ أَوِ الْعَطَاءَ، فَلْيُعْطِ بِسَخَاءٍ؛ أَوِ الْقِيَادَةَ، فَلْيَقُدْ بِاجْتِهَادٍ؛ أَوْ إِظْهَارَ الرَّحْمَةِ، فَلْيَرْحَمْ بِسُرُورٍ.

المحبة

9 وَلْتَكُنِ الْمَحَبَّةُ بِلا رِيَاءٍ. انْفُرُوا مِنَ الشَّرِّ، وَالْتَصِقُوا بِالْخَيْرِ.

10 أَحِبُّوا بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً مَحَبَّةً أَخَوِيَّةً، مُفَضِّلِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً فِي الْكَرَامَةِ.

11 لَا تَتَكَاسَلُوا فِي الاجْتِهَادِ، بَلْ كُونُوا مُلْتَهِبِينَ فِي الرُّوحِ، عَابِدِينَ لِلرَّبِّ،

12 فَرِحِينَ بِالرَّجَاءِ، صَابِرِينَ فِي الضِّيقِ، مُوَاظِبِينَ عَلَى الصَّلاةِ،

13 مُتَعَاوِنِينَ عَلَى سَدِّ حَاجَاتِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ، مُدَاوِمِينَ عَلَى إِضَافَةِ الْغُرَبَاءِ.

14 بَارِكُوا الَّذِينَ يَضْطَهِدُونَكُمْ. بَارِكُوا وَلا تَلْعَنُوا!

15 افْرَحُوا مَعَ الْفَرِحِينَ، وَابْكُوا مَعَ الْبَاكِينَ.

16 كُونُوا مُتَوَافِقِينَ بَعْضُكُمْ مَعَ بَعْضٍ، غَيْرَ مُهْتَمِّينَ بِالأُمُورِ الْعَالِيَةِ، بَلْ مُسَايِرِينَ ذَوِي الْمَرَاكِزِ الْوَضِيعَةِ. لَا تَكُونُوا حُكَمَاءَ فِي نَظَرِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ.

17 لَا تَرُدُّوا لأَحَدٍ شَرّاً مُقَابِلَ شَرٍّ، بَلِ اجْتَهِدُوا فِي تَقْدِيمِ مَا هُوَ حَسَنٌ أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ.

18 إِنْ كَانَ مُمْكِناً، فَمَادَامَ الأَمْرُ يَتَعَلَّقُ بِكُمْ، عِيشُوا فِي سَلامٍ مَعَ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ.

19 لَا تَنْتَقِمُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ، أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، بَلْ دَعُوا الْغَضَبَ لِلهِ، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ كُتِبَ: «لِيَ الانْتِقَامُ، أَنَا أُجَازِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ».

20 وَإِنَّمَا«إِنْ جَاعَ عَدُوُّكَ فَأَطْعِمْهُ، وَإِنْ عَطِشَ فَاسْقِهِ. فَإِنَّكَ، بِعَمَلِكَ هَذَا تَجْمَعُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ جَمْراً مُشْتَعِلاً».

21 لَا تَدَعِ الشَّرَّ يَغْلِبُكَ، بَلِ اغْلِبِ الشَّرَّ بِالْخَيْرِ.

New International Version

A living sacrifice

1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship.

2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Humble service in the body of Christ

3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,

5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your* faith;

7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;

8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead,* do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

Love in action

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

10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honour one another above yourselves.

11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervour, serving the Lord.

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

13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practise hospitality.

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

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

16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.* Do not be conceited.

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.

18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord.

20 On the contrary: ‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.’

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