New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
|
|
| 9 | Love in all sincerity, loathing evil and clinging to the good. | Rules of the Christian Life Ro.12.9-21 | Ἡ ἀγάπη ἀνυπόκριτος. ἀποστυγοῦντες τὸ πονηρόν, κολλώμενοι τῷ ἀγαθῷ· |
|
| 10 | Let love for our brotherhood breed warmth of mutual affection. Give pride of place to one another in esteem.
| | τῇ φιλαδελφίᾳ εἰς ἀλλήλους φιλόστοργοι, τῇ τιμῇ ἀλλήλους προηγούμενοι, |
|
| 11 | With unflagging energy, in ardour of spirit, serve the Lord. Some witnesses read: meet the demands of the hour.
| | τῇ σπουδῇ μὴ ὀκνηροί, τῷ πνεύματι ζέοντες, τῷ κυρίῳ δουλεύοντες, |
|
| 12 | Let hope keep you joyful; in trouble stand firm; persist in prayer.
| | τῇ ἐλπίδι χαίροντες, τῇ θλίψει ὑπομένοντες, τῇ προσευχῇ προσκαρτεροῦντες, |
|
| 13 | Contribute to the needs of God's people, and practise hospitality.
| | ταῖς χρείαις τῶν ἀγίων κοινωνοῦντες, τὴν φιλοξενίαν διώκοντες. |
|
| 14 | Call down blessings on your persecutors-blessings, not curses.
| | εὐλογεῖτε τοὺς διώκοντας ὑμᾶς, εὐλογεῖτε καὶ μὴ καταρᾶσθε. |
|
| 15 | With the joyful be joyful, and mourn with the mourners.
| | χαίρειν μετὰ χαιρόντων, κλαίειν μετὰ κλαιόντων. |
|
| 16 | Care as much about each other as about yourselves. Do not be haughty, but go about with humble folk. Do not keep thinking how wise you are.
| | τὸ αὐτὸ εἰς ἀλλήλους φρονοῦντες, μὴ τὰ ὑψηλὰ φρονοῦντες ἀλλὰ τοῖς ταπεινοῖς συναπαγόμενοι. μὴ γίνεσθε φρόνιμοι παρ' ἑαυτοῖς. |
|
| 17 | Never pay back evil for evil. Let your aims be such as all men count honourable. | - Repay no one evil for evil Ro.12.17 | Pr.3.4 | μηδενὶ κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ ἀποδιδόντες· προνοούμενοι καλὰ ἐνώπιον πάντων ἀνθρώπων· |
|
| 18 | If possible, so far as it is lies with you, live at peace with all men. | | εἰ δυνατόν, τὸ ἐξ ὑμῶν μετὰ πάντων ἀνθρώπων εἰρηνεύοντες· |
|
| 19 | My dear friends, do not seek revenge, but leave a place for divine retribution; for there is a text which reads, 'Justice is mine, says the Lord, I will repay.' | - Vengeance is mine Ro.12.19 | Dt.32.35 | μὴ ἑαυτοὺς ἐκδικοῦντες, ἀγαπητοί, ἀλλὰ δότε τόπον τῇ ὀργῇ, γέγραπται γάρ, Ἐμοὶ ἐκδίκησις, ἐγὼ ἀνταποδώσω, λέγει κύριος. |
|
| 20 | But there is another text: 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; by doing this you will heap live coals on his head.' | - if your enemy is hungry, feed him Ro.12.20 | Pr.25.21-22 | ἀλλὰ ἐὰν πεινᾷ ὁ ἐχθρός σου, ψώμιζε αὐτόν· ἐὰν διψᾷ, πότιζε αὐτόν· τοῦτο γὰρ ποιῶν ἄνθρακας πυρὸς σωρεύσεις ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ. |
|
| 21 | Do not let evil conquer you, but use good to defeat evil.
| | μὴ νικῶ ὑπὸ τοῦ κακοῦ, ἀλλὰ νίκα ἐν τῷ ἀγαθῷ τὸ κακόν. |
