1  I am speaking the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience witnessing with me in the Holy Spirit,

1  I TELL the truth through Christ, and I do not lie, my conscience also bears me witness through the Holy Spirit,

1  I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,

2  that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.

2  because the sadness within me is great, and there is a continuous sorrow in my heart.

2  That I am exceedingly sorrowful, and the pain which is in my heart never ceases.

3  For I could wish that I myself to be accursed from Christ on behalf of my brothers, my countrymen according to the flesh,

3  For I was desiring that I myself might be anathemized from Christ, for the sake of my brothers, who are my kinsmen according to the flesh.

3  For I have prayed that I myself might be accursed because of Christ for the sake of my brethren and my kinsmen according to the flesh,

4  who are Israelites, of whom are the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law-giving, and the worship, and the promises;

4  These are the Israelites, to whom belongs adoption as sons, and the glory and the testament, and the giving and following of the law, and the promises.

5  of whom are the fathers and from whom Christ [came], according to the flesh, He who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.

5  Theirs are the fathers, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is over all things, blessed God, for all eternity. Amen.

5  Whose are the fathers, from among whom Christ appeared in the flesh, who is God over all, to whom are due praises and thanksgiving, for ever and ever. Amen.

6  But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all those of Israel [are of] Israel,

6  It is not as though the word of God had actually failed. For all those who belong to Israel are not Israelites

6  Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel

7  nor [are they] all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called."

7  neither, because they are Abraham`s seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

7  And not all sons are the offspring of Abraham: “For your offspring will be invoked in Isaac.”

8  That is, those who are the children of the flesh are not the children of God; but [it is ]the children of the promise that are regarded as descendants.

8  That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.

8  In other words, those who are the sons of God are not those who are sons of the flesh, but those who are sons of the Promise; these are considered to be the offspring.

9  For this is the word of promise: "At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son."

9  For this is a word of promise, According to this season will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.

9  For the word of promise is this: “I will return at the proper time. And there shall be a son for Sarah.”

10  And not only this, but also Rebecca having conception from one [man], our father Isaac;

10  And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac--

10  And she was not alone. For Rebecca also, having conceived by Isaac our father, from one act,

11  for [the children] not yet being born, nor having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might abide, not of works but of Him who calls,

11  when the children had not yet been born, and had not yet done anything good or bad (such that the purpose of God might be based on their choice),

11  Before her children were born, or had done good or evil, the choice of God was made known in advance; that it might stand, not by means of works, but through him who made the choice.

12  it was said to her, "The older shall serve the younger."

12  and not because of deeds, but because of a calling, it was said to her: “The elder shall serve the younger.”

12  For it was said, The elder shall be the servant of the younger.

13  As it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

13  So also it was written: “I have loved Jacob, but I have hated Esau.”

14  What shall we say then? [Is ]there unrighteousness with God? By no means!

14  What should we say next? Is there unfairness with God? Let it not be so!

15  For He says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion."

15  For to Moses he says: “I will pity whomever I pity. And I will offer mercy to whomever I will pity.”

16  So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God who shows mercy.

16  Therefore, it is not based on those who choose, nor on those who excel, but on God who takes pity.

16  Therefore, it is not within reach of him who wishes, nor within the reach of him who runs, but it is within the reach of the merciful God.

17  For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be proclaimed in all the earth."

17  For in the scripture, he said to Pharaoh, It was for this purpose that I have appointed you, that I might shew my power in you, so that my name might be preached throughout all the earth.

18  So then He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.

18  Therefore, he takes pity on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.

18  Thus he has mercy on whom he pleases, and he hardens whom he pleases.

19  You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who can resist His will?"

19  Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will?

20  But indeed, O man, who are you to [be ]answering back against God? Shall the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?"

20  Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?

20  O man, who are you to question God? How can the thing that has been formed say to the One who formed him: “Why have you made me this way?”

21  Or does not the potter have the right over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and the other for dishonor?

21  Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

22  But what if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,

22  What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction

22  Now then, if God wanted to shew his anger, and make his power known, would he not then, after the abundance of his patience, bring wrath upon the vessels of wrath which were ready for destruction?

23  and so that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory,

23  But he poured his mercy upon the favored vessels, which were prepared for the glory of God.

24  even us whom He called, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles?

24  And so it is with those of us whom he has also called, not only from among the Jews, but even from among the Gentiles,

24  Namely, ourselves, the called ones, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles.

25  As also in Hosea He says: "I will call those My people who were not My people, and her beloved, who was not beloved."

25  just as he says in Hosea: “I will call those who were not my people, ‘my people,’ and she who was not beloved, ‘beloved,’ and she who had not obtained mercy, ‘one who has obtained mercy.’

26  "And it shall be in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not My people,' there they shall be called sons of the living God."

26  And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

27  Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: "Though the number of the sons of Israel were as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved;

27  And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved

27  Isaiah also preached concerning the children of Israel: Though the number of children of Israel should be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant shall be saved.

28  For He is finishing and cutting short an account in righteousness, because YHWH will make a short account upon the earth."

28  for the Lord will execute [his] word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short.

29  And just as Isaiah foretold: "If YHWH of hosts had not left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have resembled Gomorrah."

29  And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah.

29  Just as Isaiah had said before, If the LORD of Hosts had not increased the remnant, we should have been like SodÆom, and should have resembled Go-morÆrah.

30  What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained righteousness, even the righteousness of faith;

30  What should we say next? That the Gentiles who did not follow justice have attained justice, even the justice that is of faith.

31  but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not attain to the law of righteousness.

31  Yet truly, Israel, though following the law of justice, has not arrived at the law of justice.

32  Why? Because [they did] not [seek it] by faith, but rather by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stone of stumbling.

32  Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;

32  Why is this? Because they did not seek it from faith, but as if it were from works. For they stumbled over a stumbling block,

33  Just as it is written: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offense, and everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame."

33  just as it was written: “Behold, I am placing a stumbling block in Zion, and a rock of scandal. But whoever believes in him shall not be confounded.”

33  As it is written, Behold, the prophet I give to Zion becomes a stumblingstone, and rock of offence: but whoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.

10:1  Brothers, the good pleasure of my heart and my supplication to God on behalf of Israel, is for [their] salvation.

1  Brethren, my heart`s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.

10:2  For I testify concerning them, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

2  For I can testify for them that there is in them a zeal for God, but not according to the true knowledge.

10:3  For they, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

10:4  For Christ is the end of [the] law for righteousness to everyone that believes.

4  For the end of the law, Christ, is unto justice for all who believe.

10:5  For Moses writes about the righteousness which [is] of the law, "That the man who does those things shall live by them."

5  And Moses wrote, about the justice that is of the law, that the man who will have done justice shall live by justice.

10:6  But the righteousness of faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who shall ascend into heaven?' "(that is, to bring Christ down)

6  But the justice that is of faith speaks in this way: Do not say in your heart: “Who shall ascend into heaven?” (that is, to bring Christ down);

6  But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

10:7  or, "'Who shall descend into the abyss?' "(that is, to bring up Christ from the dead).

7  And who has descended into the abyss of Sheol and brought up Christ from the dead?

10:8  But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart"(that is, the word of faith which we proclaim)

8  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach

10:9  that if you confess with your mouth YHWH Jesus and you believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.

9  because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved

10:10  For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

10  For the heart which believes in him, shall be declared righteous, and the mouth that confesses him shall live.

10:11  For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him shall not be put to shame."

11  For Scripture says: “All those who believe in him shall not be confounded.”

10:12  For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on Him.

12  And in this, it does not discriminate between the Jews and the Syrians: for the same LORD over all is rich unto all who call upon him.

10:13  For "whosoever shall call upon the name of YHWH shall be saved."

13  For all those who have called upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

10:14  How then shall they call on Him in[ ]whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear apart from a preacher?

14  Then in what way will those who have not believed in him call upon him? Or in what way will those who have not heard of him believe in him? And in what way will they hear of him without preaching?

14  How then can they call on him on whom they have not believed? Or how can they believe on him whom they have never heard? Or how can they hear without a preacher?

10:15  And how shall they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, of those preaching the gospel of good things!"

15  And truly, in what way will they preach, unless they have been sent, just as it has been written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who evangelize peace, of those who evangelize what is good!”

15  Or how can they preach, if they are not sent forth? As it is written, How becoming are the feet of those who preach peace, and of those who bring good tidings.

10:16  But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"

16  For all have not heard the preaching of the gospel. For Isaiah said, My LORD, who has believed the echoes of our voice?

10:17  So then faith [comes] by hearing, and hearing by [the] word of God.

17  So belief [cometh] of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

17  Therefore, faith is from hearing, and hearing is through the Word of Christ.

10:18  But I say, have they not heard? Yes, indeed [they have]: "Their voice went out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."

18  But I say: Have they not heard? For certainly: “Their sound has gone forth throughout all the earth, and their words unto the limits of the whole world.”

10:19  But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: "I will provoke you to jealousy by [those who are] not a nation, by a foolish nation I will anger you."

19  But I say: Has Israel not known? First, Moses says: “I will lead you into a rivalry with those who are not a nation; in the midst of a foolish nation, I will send you into wrath.”

19  But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses spoke thus, I will provoke you to jealousy by a people that are not my people, and I will make you angry by a reckless people.

10:20  But Isaiah is very bold and says: "I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me."

10:21  But to Israel he says: "the whole day long I have stretched out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people."

21  But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

21  Then to Israel he says: “All day long I have stretched out my hands to a people who do not believe and who contradict me.”

11:1  I say then, has God cast away His people? By no means! For I too am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

1  I say then, Did God cast off his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

1  Therefore, I say: Has God driven away his people? Let it not be so! For I, too, am an Israelite of the offspring of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.

11:2  God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know [what the Scripture says] in Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,

2  God did not cast off his people which he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel

2  God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

11:3  "YHWH, they killed Your prophets and they torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they are seeking my life"?

3  Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

3  “Lord, they have slain your Prophets. They have overturned your altars. And I alone remain, and they are seeking my life.”

11:4  But what does the divine response say to him? "I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal."

4  But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.

4  And it was said to him in a vision: Behold I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not knelt on their knees to worship Baal.

11:5  So to then, at this present time, there is also a remnant according to the election of grace.

5  Therefore, in the same way, again in this time, there is a remnant that has been saved in accord with the choice of grace.

5  Even so at the present time a remnant is preserved, elected by the grace.

11:6  And if by grace, [it is] no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if [it is ]of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

6  But if it is by grace, it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace.

11:7  What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained [it], and the rest were blinded.

7  What is next? What Israel was seeking, he has not obtained. But the elect have obtained it. And truly, these others have been blinded,

11:8  Just as it is written: "God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, down to this very day."

8  As it is written, God has given them a stubborn spirit, eyes that cannot see, and ears that cannot hear, to this very day.

8  According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

11:9  And David says: "Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a recompense to them.

11:10  Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever."

10  Let their eyes be obscured, so that they may not see, and so that they may bow down their backs always.”

11:11  I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? By no means! But by their transgression, salvation [has come] to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

11  I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their fall salvation [is come] unto the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

11  Therefore, I say: Have they stumbled in such a way that they should fall? Let it not be so! Instead, by their offense, salvation is with the Gentiles, so that they may be a rival to them.

11:12  But if their transgression is [the] riches of the world, and their defeat is [the] riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!

12  Now if their fall, is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

11:13  For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle to the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,

13  For I say to you Gentiles: Certainly, as long as I am an Apostle to the Gentiles, I will honor my ministry,

13  It is to you Gentiles that I speak, inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, and perhaps magnify my ministry

11:14  if somehow I may provoke to jealousy my fellow Jews, and I may save some of them.

14  in such a way that I might provoke to rivalry those who are my own flesh, and so that I may save some of them.

14  But if I am able to make those who are my flesh zealous, I may thus save some of them.

11:15  For if their casting away means reconciliation [for the] world, what will their acceptance be, if not life from the dead?

15  And if their rejection has resulted in reconciliation of the world, how much more will their restoration be? Indeed it will be life from the dead.

11:16  For if the firstfruit is holy, [so] also the lump; and if the root is holy, so also the branches.

16  And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

11:17  But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in [among] them, and became a partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree,

17  And if some of the branches were cut off, and you who are a branch of a wild olive tree have been grafted in their place, and you have become a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

11:18  do not be arrogant towards the branches. But if you are arrogant, [remember] that it is not you that supports the root, but the root [supports] you.

18  glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee.

18  do not glorify yourself above the branches. For though you glory, you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

11:19  You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."

19  Therefore, you would say: The branches were broken off, so that I might be grafted on.

19  Perhaps you may say, The branches were cut off that I might be grafted in their place.

11:20  That is true. By unbelief they were broken off, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but fear.

20  Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear

20  Well enough. They were broken off because of unbelief. But you stand on faith. So do not choose to savor what is exalted, but instead be afraid.

11:21  For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps He may not spare you either.

11:22  Behold then the kindness and severity of God: upon those that fell, severity; but upon you, kindness, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also shall be cut off.

22  So then, notice the goodness and the severity of God. Certainly, toward those who have fallen, there is severity; but toward you, there is the goodness of God, if you remain in goodness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.

22  Consider therefore the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but on you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness: otherwise you also will be cut off.

11:23  And they also, if they do not remain in unbelief, shall be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

23  Moreover, if they do not remain in unbelief, they will be grafted on. For God is able to graft them on again.

11:24  For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more shall these, the natural ones, be grafted into their own olive tree?

24  For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural [branches], be grafted into their own olive tree?

11:25  For I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers, lest you be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

25  For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in;

25  I am desirous, my brethren, that you should know this mystery, so that you may not be wise in your own conceits; for blindness of heart has to some degree befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles shall come in.

11:26  And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written: "The Deliverer shall come out of Zion, and He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

26  And in this way, all of Israel may be saved, just as it was written: “From Zion shall arrive he who delivers, and he shall turn impiety away from Jacob.

11:27  For this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins."

27  And this is my covenant unto them, When I shall take away their sins.

27  And then they shall have the same covenant from me, when I have forgiven their sins.

11:28  As regards to the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sake; but as regards to election, [they are] beloved for the sake of the fathers.

28  As touching the gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers` sake.

28  Certainly, according to the Gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But according to the election, they are most beloved for the sake of the fathers.

11:29  For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

29  For God does not withdraw his gift and his call.

11:30  For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now you were shown mercy through their disobedience,

30  And just as you also, in times past, did not believe in God, but now you have obtained mercy because of their unbelief,

30  For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief

11:31  even so these now were disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also might be shown mercy.

31  so also have these now not believed, for your mercy, so that they might obtain mercy also.

31  Likewise, they are also disobedient now to the mercy which is upon you, that there may be mercy upon them also.

11:32  For God has consigned all to disobedience, that He might show mercy to all.

32  For God has enclosed everyone in unbelief, so that he may have mercy on everyone.

32  For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

11:33  Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and[ ]knowledge of God! How unsearchable [are] His judgments and untraceable [are ]His ways!

33  O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

11:34  "For who has known [the] mind of YHWH? Or who has been His counselor?"

34  For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

11:35  "Or who has first given to Him, and it shall be repaid to him?"

35  or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

35  Or who first gave to him, so that repayment would be owed?

11:36  For of Him and through Him and to Him [are] all things; to Him [be] the glory forever! Amen.

36  For from him, and through him, and in him are all things. To him is glory, for all eternity. Amen.

12:1  Therefore, brothers, I exhort you through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, well pleasing to God, [which is] your reasonable service.

1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your spiritual service.

1  And so, I beg you, brothers, by the mercy of God, that you offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, with the subservience of your mind.

12:2  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and well pleasing and perfect will of God.

2  And do not choose to be conformed to this age, but instead choose to be reformed in the newness of your mind, so that you may demonstrate what is the will of God: what is good, and what is well-pleasing, and what is perfect.

2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

12:3  For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself too highly, beyond what you should think, but to think soberly, as God has imparted to each one a measure of faith.

3  For I say, through the grace that has been given to me, to all who are among you: Taste no more than it is necessary to taste, but taste unto sobriety and just as God has distributed a share of the faith to each one.

12:4  For just as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,

4  For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office

4  For just as, within one body, we have many parts, though all the parts do not have the same role,

12:5  so we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.

5  so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another.

5  so also we, being many, are one body in Christ, and each one is a part, the one of the other.

12:6  Having then gifts differing according to the grace having been given to us, [let us use them]: whether prophecy, [let us prophecy] according to the proportion of faith;

6  And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of our faith;

6  And we each have different gifts, according to the grace that has been given to us: whether prophecy, in agreement with the reasonableness of faith;

12:7  whether ministry, [let us use it] in our ministry; whether teaching; in the teaching;

7  or ministry, [let us give ourselves] to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching;

7  Some have the gift of ministration, in his ministry; and some of teaching, in his teaching.

12:8  whether exhorting, in the exhortation; whether sharing, with simplicity; whether leading, with diligence; whether showing mercy, with cheerfulness.

8  or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting: he that giveth, [let him do it] with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.

8  he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, in simplicity; he who governs, in solicitude; he who shows mercy, in cheerfulness.

12:9  [Let] love [be] without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

9  Let love be without falseness: hating evil, clinging to what is good,

9  Let not your love be deceitful. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

12:10  Be warmly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor preferring one another;

10  In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned one to another; in honor preferring one another;

10  loving one another with fraternal charity, surpassing one another in honor

12:11  not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving YHWH;

11  in diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

11  Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit, serving the LORD;

12:12  rejoicing in hope, enduring in tribulation, devoted to prayer;

12  in hope, rejoicing; in tribulation, enduring; in prayer, ever-willing;

12:13  sharing in the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality.

13  communicating to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.

13  in the difficulties of the saints, sharing; in hospitality, attentive.

12:14  Bless those that persecute you; bless and do not curse.

14  Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

12:15  Rejoice with those that rejoice, and weep with those that weep.

12:16  Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but [rather ]associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

16  Be of the same mind one toward another. Set not your mind on high things, but condescend to things that are lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits.

12:17  Repay no one evil for evil; providing that which is good before all men.

17  Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men.

17  Recompense to no man evil for evil. But be careful to do good things before the presence of all men.

12:18  If possible, as much as depends on you, keeping peace with all men.

18  If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men.

12:19  Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,"says YHWH.

19  Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath [of God]: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord.

19  Do not defend yourselves, dearest ones. Instead, step aside from wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is mine. I shall give retribution, says the Lord.”

12:20  Therefore "If your enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him drink; for [by ]doing this you will heap burning coals upon his head."

20  But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.

20  So if an enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in doing so, you will heap burning coals upon his head.

12:21  Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

21  Do not allow evil to prevail, instead prevail over evil by means of goodness.

13:1  Let every soul submit to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except by God, and the authorities that exist are instituted by God.

1  Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the [powers] that be are ordained of God.

13:2  Consequently the [one] resisting the authority has opposed the ordinance of God, and those opposing shall receive judgment to themselves.

2  Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment.

2  And so, whoever resists authority, resists what has been ordained by God. And those who resist are acquiring damnation for themselves.

13:3  For rulers are not a fear to good works, but to evil. And do you wish not to fear the authority?[ ]Do what is good, and you shall have praise from the same.

3  For leaders are not a source of fear to those who work good, but to those who work evil. And would you prefer not to be afraid of authority? Then do what is good, and you shall have praise from them.

3  For judges are not a menace to good works, but to evil. Now if you do not wish to be afraid of the authority, then do good, and you will be praised for it.

13:4  For he is God's servant to you for good. But if you do evil, fear; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's servant, an avenger for wrath to the [one] practicing evil.

4  for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil.

4  For he is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is wrong, be afraid; for he is not girded with the sword in vain; for he is the minister of God, and an avenger of wrath upon those who commit crime.

13:5  Therefore it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also for conscience' sake.

5  For this reason, it is necessary to be subject, not solely because of wrath, but also because of conscience.

5  Wherefore, we must be obedient, not only in fear of wrath, but also for our conscience sake.

13:6  For on account of this you also pay taxes, for they are ministers of God, always giving attention to this very thing.

6  Therefore, you must also offer tribute. For they are the ministers of God, serving him in this.

13:7  Render therefore to all their dues: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.

7  Therefore, render to all whatever is owed. Taxes, to whom taxes is due; revenue, to whom revenue is due; fear, to whom fear is due; honor, to whom honor is due.

7  Render therefore, to every one as is due to him: head tax to him who is in charge of head tax, duty to him who is in charge of custom; reverence to whom reverence is due, and honor to whom honor is due.

13:8  Owe nothing to no one, except to love one another, for he who loves one another has fulfilled the law.

8  Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law.

8  You should owe nothing to anyone, except so as to love one another. For whoever loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

13:9  For, "You shall not commit adultery,""You shall not murder,""You shall not steal,""You shall not covet,"and [if ]there is any other commandment, in this word it is summed up, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

9  For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

9  For example: You shall not commit adultery. You shall not kill. You shall not steal. You shall not speak false testimony. You shall not covet. And if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

13:10  Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

10  The love of neighbor does no harm. Therefore, love is the plenitude of the law.

10  Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

13:11  And do this, knowing the time, that [it is] already[ the] hour for us to be roused out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we [first ]believed.

11  Know this also, that now is the time and the hour that we should awake from our sleep, for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.

13:12  The night is advanced, the day is at hand. Therefore let us put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

12  The night has passed, and the day draws near. Therefore, let us cast aside the works of darkness, and be clothed with the armor of light.

13:13  Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelries and drinking bouts, not in orgies and debaucheries, not in strife and jealousy.

13  Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy.

13  Let us walk honestly, as in the daylight, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in promiscuity and sexual immorality, not in contention and envy.

13:14  But put on YHWH Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for [its] lusts.

14  Instead, be clothed with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in its desires.

14  But clothe yourselves with our LORD Jesus Christ, and take no heed for the lusts of the flesh.

14:1  Receive one that is weak in the faith, not for disputes over opinions.

1  But accept those who are weak in faith, without disputing about ideas.

1  He who is weak in the faith, assist him. And be consistent in your reasoning.

14:2  One indeed believes that he may eat all things, but another,[ ]being weak, eats [only ]vegetables.

2  One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs.

2  For one person believes that he may eat all things, but if another is weak, let him eat plants.

14:3  Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God [has] received him.

3  Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

3  He who eats should not despise him who does not eat. And he who does not eat should not judge him who eats. For God has accepted him.

14:4  Who are you to judge another's servant? To his own master he stands or he falls. And he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

4  Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand.

4  Who are you to judge another manÆs servant? for if he is a success, he is a success to his master; and if he is a failure, he is a failure to his master. As for his success, he will succeed for it is in the power of his master to make him succeed.

14:5  One indeed judges one day above another; but another judges every day [the same]. Let each be fully assured in his own mind.

5  One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.

5  For one person discerns one age from the next. But another discerns unto every age. Let each one increase according to his own mind.

14:6  He that regards the day, regards it to YHWH; and he that does not regard the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. And he that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he that does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and he gives thanks to God.

6  He who understands the age, understands for the Lord. And he who eats, eats for the Lord; for he gives thanks to God. And he who does not eat, does not eat for the Lord, and he gives thanks to God.

6  He who is mindful concerning a dayÆs duty is considerate of his master; and every one who is not mindful concerning a dayÆs duty, is inconsiderate of his master. And he who is wasteful, is detrimental to his master even though he confesses it to God; and he who is not wasteful, is not wasteful to his master, yet he likewise tells it to God.

14:7  For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.

14:8  For whether we live, we live to YHWH; and whether we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord's.

8  For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

14:9  For to this end Christ died and rose and lived [again], so that He might be Lord of both [the] dead and [the] living.

9  For Christ died and rose again for this purpose: that he might be the ruler of both the dead and the living.

14:10  But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

10  But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.

10  But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

14:11  For it is written: "As I live, says YHWH, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God."

14:12  So then each of us shall give account concerning himself to God.

12  And so, each one of us shall offer an explanation of himself to God.

12  So then every one of us shall answer for himself to God.

14:13  Therefore let us no longer judge one another, but judge this rather, not to put a stumbling block or an offense before our brother.

13  Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge ye this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock in his brother`s way, or an occasion of falling.

13  Therefore, we should no longer judge one another. Instead, judge this to a greater extent: that you should not place an obstacle before your brother, nor lead him astray.

14:14  I know and am convinced in YHWH Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself; except to him considering anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

14  For I know, and I have confidence in the LORD Jesus, that nothing unclean comes from him: but to him who believes a thing to be unclean, to him only is it unclean.

14  I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

14:15  But if your brother is grieved on account of your food, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy with your food the one on behalf of whom Christ died.

15  For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ died.

14:16  Therefore do not let your good be slandered.

16  Let not then your good be evil spoken of

14:17  For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

14:18  For he that serves Christ in these things is well pleasing to God and approved by men.

18  For he who serves Christ in this, pleases God and is proven before men.

14:19  Therefore let us pursue the things [which make] for peace and the things by which one may edify another.

19  And so, let us pursue the things that are of peace, and let us keep to the things that are for the edification of one another.

19  Now let us strive after peace, and help one another.

14:20  Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but [are] evil for the man eating with offense.

20  Overthrow not for meat`s sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; howbeit it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

14:21  It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor [to do anything] by which your brother stumbles or is offended or becomes weak.

21  It is good to refrain from eating meat and from drinking wine, and from anything by which your brother is offended, or led astray, or weakened.

21  It is better that we neither eat meat nor drink wine nor do any other thing whereby we cause our brother to stumble.

14:22  Do you have faith? By yourself, have it before God. Blessed is he that does not condemn himself in what he approves.

22  The faith which thou hast, have thou to thyself before God. Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth.

22  You who have a certain belief, keep it to yourself, before God. Blessed is he who does not condemn himself by doing those things which he believes to be wrong.

14:23  But he who doubts, if he eats, has been condemned, because [it is ]not of faith; and everything which [is] not of faith is sin.

23  But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because [he eateth] not of faith; and whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

23  For he who is doubtful and eats, violates his beliefs: for whatever is not of faith, is sin. The strong must help the weak.

15:1  We then who are strong are obligated to bear with the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

1  But we who are stronger must bear with the feebleness of the weak, and not so as to please ourselves.

15:2  Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.

2  Each one of you should please his neighbor unto good, for edification.

2  Let every one of us please his neighbor in good and constructive ways.

15:3  For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those reproaching You fell on Me."

3  For Christ also pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me.

15:4  For as many things as were previously written, were written for our own instruction, that through the patience and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we may have hope.

4  For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that through patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope.

4  For whatever was written, was written to teach us, so that, through patience and the consolation of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

15:5  Now may the God of patience and of encouragement grant you to be like-minded among one another, according to Christ Jesus,

5  Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus

5  So may the God of patience and solace grant you to be of one mind toward one another, in accord with Jesus Christ,

15:6  so that you may with one accord and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

6  that with one accord ye may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15:7  Therefore receive one another, just as also Christ received you, to [the] glory of God.

7  For this reason, accept one another, just as Christ also has accepted you, in the honor of God.

7  Therefore be close and bear one anotherÆs burdens, just as Christ also brought you close to the glory of God.

15:8  Now I say that Christ Jesus has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, in order to confirm the promises to the fathers,

8  For I say that Christ hath been made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises [given] unto the fathers,

15:9  and that the Gentiles might glorify God on behalf of His mercy, as it is written: "For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, and I will sing praise to Your name."

15:10  And again he says: "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!"

15:11  And again: "Praise YHWH, all you Gentiles! Praise Him, all you peoples!"

11  And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; And let all the peoples praise him.

15:12  And again, Isaiah says: "There shall be the root of Jesse; and He that shall rise to rule over the Gentiles, in Him the Gentiles shall hope."

12  And again Isaiah said, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise will be a prince to the Gentiles; and in him shall the Gentiles trust.

15:13  Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

13  So may the God of hope fill you with every joy and with peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope and in the virtue of the Holy Spirit.

15:14  Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.

14  But I am also certain about you, my brothers, that you also have been filled with love, completed with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish one another.

14  And I myself am persuaded concerning you, my brethren, that you also are filled with the same goodness, and made perfect with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.

15:15  And I write more boldly to you brothers, in part, as reminding you, because of the grace having been given to me by God,

15  But I have written to you, brothers, more boldly than to the others, as if calling you to mind again, because of the grace which has been given to me from God,

15  Nevertheless, my brethren, I have written rather boldly to you, in order to remind you of the grace which is given to me by God,

15:16  that I should be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God as a priest, so that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

16  so that I may be a minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles, sanctifying the Gospel of God, in order that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and may be sanctified in the Holy Spirit.

15:17  Therefore I have something to boast of in Christ Jesus in the things pertaining to God.

17  I am proud therefore to glory in Jesus Christ before God.

15:18  For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ did not work out through me, in word and deed, for the obedience of [the] Gentiles-

18  So I dare not speak of any of those things which Christ does not effect through me, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and deed,

18  For I can scarcely speak of anything which Christ has not wrought by me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

15:19  in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

19  in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and round about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ;

15:20  And so eagerly striving to evangelize not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon the foundation of another,

20  yea, making it my aim so to preach the gospel, not where Christ was [already] named, that I might not build upon another man`s foundation;

20  And I have strived to preach the gospel, not at any place where ChristÆs name had already been preached, because I did not want to build on anotherÆs foundation

15:21  but as it is written: "To whom He was not announced, they shall see; and those who have not heard shall understand."

21  but, as it is written, They shall see, to whom no tidings of him came, And they who have not heard shall understand.

21  But as it is written, Those to whom he was never mentioned, they shall see him: and those who have not heard of him, they shall be made obedient.

15:22  For this reason I also have been hindered many times from coming to you.

22  Because of this also, I was greatly hindered in coming to you, and I have been prevented until the present time.

15:23  But now no longer having a place in these regions, and having a longing to come to you for many years,

23  Yet truly now, having no other destination in these regions, and having already had a great desire to come to you over the past many years,

15:24  whenever I travel to Spain, I shall come to you. For I hope [while] traveling through to see you, and to be sent forward there by you, if I may be filled in part [from] you first.

24  whensoever I go unto Spain (for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)--

24  When I leave for Spain, I hope to come to see you: and I hope that you will escort me thence after I have more or less fully enjoyed my visit.

15:25  But now I am traveling to Jerusalem ministering to the saints.

25  But next I will set out for Jerusalem, to minister to the saints.

15:26  For Macedonia and Achaia thought it good to make some contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

26  For the brethren in Mac-e-doÆni-a and A-chaÆia have been pleased to take part in helping the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

15:27  For they thought it good, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles shared in spiritual things, they are obligated also to minister to them in material things.

27  Yea, it hath been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it [to them] also to minister unto them in carnal things.

15:28  Therefore, having finished and having sealed to them this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain.

28  When, therefore, I have accomplished this and have finished distributing to them this kind of help, I will cross over toward you on my way to Spain.

28  When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.

15:29  But I know that coming to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

29  And I know that when I come to you I shall arrive with an abundance of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ.

15:30  Now I beg you, brothers, through YHWH Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in prayers to God on my behalf,

30  Now I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

30  Therefore, I beg you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and though the love of the Holy Spirit, that you assist me with your prayers to God on my behalf,

15:31  that I may be delivered from those in Judea who do not believe, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,

31  so that I may be freed from the unfaithful who are in Judea, and so that the oblation of my service may be acceptable to the saints in Jerusalem.

15:32  so that in joy I may come to you through the will of God, and may be refreshed together with you.

32  that I may come unto you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest.

15:33  Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

33  And may the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

16:1  I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,

1  Now I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is in the ministry of the church, which is at Cenchreae,

1  I ENTRUST to your care PheÆbe, our sis ter, who is a deaconess of the church which is at CenÆchre-a

16:2  so that you may receive her in YHWH in a manner worthy of the saints, and you may stand by her in whatever thing she may need from you; for indeed she has proved to be a helper of many and of myself also.

2  that ye receive her in the Lord, worthily of the saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever matter she may have need of you: for she herself also hath been a helper of many, and of mine own self.

16:3  Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

3  Salute Pris-cilÆla and AÆqui-la, fellowworkers with me in Jesus Christ,

16:4  who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

4  who have risked their own necks on behalf of my life, for whom I give thanks, not I alone, but also all the churches of the Gentiles;

4  Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

16:5  And greet the church that is in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia to Christ.

5  and [salute] the church that is in their house. Salute Epaenetus my beloved, who is the first-fruits of Asia unto Christ.

5  Likewise salute the congregation that is in their house. Salute my well beloved E-pµnÆetus, who is the first-fruits of A-chaÆia unto Christ.

16:6  Greet Mary, who labored much for us.

6  Salute Mary, who bestowed much labor on you.

16:7  Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow captives, who are notable among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

7  Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me.

16:8  Greet Amplias, my beloved in YHWH.

8  Salute Ampliatus my beloved in the Lord.

16:9  Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved.

9  Salute Urbanus our fellow-worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

16:10  Greet Apelles, approved in Christ. Greet those from the [household] of Aristobulus.
