WEB·Romans 12

¹Therefore 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.

KJVI beseech^G3870^(G5719) you^G5209 therefore^G3767, brethren^G80, by^G1223 the mercies^G3628 of God^G2316, that ye present^G3936^(G5658) your^G5216 bodies^G4983 a living^G2198^(G5723) sacrifice^G2378, holy^G40, acceptable^G2101 unto God^G2316, which is your^G5216 reasonable^G3050 service^G2999.

² 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.

KJVAnd^G2532 be^G4964 not^G3361 conformed^G4964^(G5728) to this^G5129 world^G165: but^G235 be ye transformed^G3339^(G5744) by the renewing^G342 of your^G5216 mind^G3563, that^G1519 ye^G5209 may prove^G1381^(G5721) what^G5101 is that good^G18, and^G2532 acceptable^G2101, and^G2532 perfect^G5046, will^G2307 of God^G2316.

³ 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.

KJVFor^G1063 I say^G3004^(G5719), through^G1223 the grace^G5485 given^G1325^(G5685) unto me^G3427, to every man^G3956 that is^G5607^(G5752) among^G1722 you^G5213, not^G3361 to think of himself more^G3844 highly^G5252^(G5721) than^G3739 he ought^G1163^(G5748) to think^G5426^(G5721); but^G235 to think^G5426^(G5721) soberly^G1519^G4993^(G5721), according as^G5613 God^G2316 hath dealt^G3307^(G5656) to every man^G1538 the measure^G3358 of faith^G4102.

⁴ For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,

KJVFor^G1063 as^G2509 we have^G2192^(G5719) many^G4183 members^G3196 in^G1722 one^G1520 body^G4983, and^G1161 all^G3956 members^G3196 have^G2192^(G5719) not^G3756 the same^G846 office^G4234:

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

KJVSo^G3779 we^G2070, being many^G4183, are^G2070^(G5748) one^G1520 body^G4983 in^G1722 Christ^G5547, and^G1161 every^G2596 one^G1520 members^G3196 one of another^G240.

⁶ having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

KJVHaving^G2192^(G5723) then^G1161 gifts^G5486 differing^G1313 according^G2596 to the grace^G5485 that is given^G1325^(G5685) to us^G2254, whether^G1535 prophecy^G4394, let us prophesy according^G2596 to the proportion^G356 of faith^G4102;

⁷ or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;

KJVOr^G1535 ministry^G1248, let us wait on^G1722 our ministering^G1248: or^G1535 he that teacheth^G1321^(G5723), on^G1722 teaching^G1319;

⁸ 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.

KJVOr^G1535 he that exhorteth^G3870^(G5723), on^G1722 exhortation^G3874: he that giveth^G3330^(G5723), let him do it with^G1722 simplicity^G572; he that ruleth^G4291^(G5734), with^G1722 diligence^G4710; he that sheweth mercy^G1653^(G5723), with^G1722 cheerfulness^G2432.

⁹ Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

KJVLet love^G26^(G5753) be without dissimulation^G505. Abhor^G655^(G5723) that which is evil^G4190; cleave^G2853^(G5746) to that which is good^G18.

¹⁰ In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,

KJVBe kindly affectioned^G5387 one to another^G1519^G240 with brotherly love^G5360; in honour^G5092 preferring^G4285^(G5740) one another^G240;

¹¹ not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,

KJVNot^G3361 slothful^G3636 in business^G4710; fervent^G2204^(G5723) in spirit^G4151; serving^G1398^(G5723) the Lord^G2962;

¹² rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,

KJVRejoicing^G5463^(G5723) in hope^G1680; patient^G5278^(G5723) in tribulation^G2347; continuing instant^G4342^(G5723) in prayer^G4335;

¹³ contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.

KJVDistributing^G2841^(G5723) to the necessity^G5532 of saints^G40; given^G1377^(G5723) to hospitality^G5381.

¹⁴ Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.

KJVBless^G2127^(G5720) them which persecute^G1377^(G5723) you^G5209: bless^G2127^(G5720), and^G2532 curse^G2672^(G5737) not^G3361.

¹⁵ Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.

KJVRejoice^G5463^(G5721) with^G3326 them that do rejoice^G5463^(G5723), and^G2532 weep^G2799^(G5721) with^G3326 them that weep^G2799^(G5723).

¹⁶ 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.

KJVBe of the same^G846 mind^G5426^(G5723) one toward another^G1519^G240. Mind^G5426^(G5723) not^G3361 high things^G5308, but^G235 condescend^G4879^(G5734) to men of low estate^G5011. Be^G1096^(G5737) not^G3361 wise^G5429 in^G3844 your own conceits^G1438.

¹⁷ Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.

KJVRecompense^G591^(G5723) to no man^G3367 evil^G2556 for^G473 evil^G2556. Provide^G4306^(G5734) things honest^G2570 in the sight^G1799 of all^G3956 men^G444.

¹⁸ If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.

KJVIf^G1487 it be possible^G1415, as much as lieth in^G1537 you^G5216, live peaceably^G1514^(G5723) with^G3326 all^G3956 men^G444.

¹⁹ Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”

KJVDearly beloved^G27, avenge^G1556^(G5723) not^G3361 yourselves^G1438, but^G235 rather give^G1325^(G5628) place^G5117 unto wrath^G3709: for^G1063 it is written^G1125^(G5769), Vengeance^G1557 is mine^G1698; I^G1473 will repay^G467^(G5692), saith^G3004^(G5719) the Lord^G2962.

²⁰ Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

KJVTherefore^G3767 if^G1437 thine^G4675 enemy^G2190 hunger^G3983^(G5725), feed^G5595^(G5720) him^G846; if^G1437 he thirst^G1372^(G5725), give^G4222 him^G846 drink^G4222^(G5720): for^G1063 in so^G5124 doing^G4160^(G5723) thou shalt heap^G4987^(G5692) coals^G440 of fire^G4442 on^G1909 his^G846 head^G2776.

²¹ Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

KJVBe^G3528 not^G3361 overcome^G3528^(G5744) of^G5259 evil^G2556, but^G235 overcome^G3528^(G5720) evil^G2556 with^G1722 good^G18.

WEB·Romans 11

¹I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

KJVI say^G3004^(G5719) then^G3767,^G3361 Hath^G683 God^G2316 cast away^G683^(G5662) his^G846 people^G2992? God forbid^G3361^G1096^(G5636). For^G1063 I^G1473 also^G2532 am^G1510^(G5748) an Israelite^G2475, of^G1537 the seed^G4690 of Abraham^G11, of the tribe^G5443 of Benjamin^G958.

² God didn’t reject his people, whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

KJVGod^G2316 hath^G683 not^G3756 cast away^G683^(G5662) his^G846 people^G2992 which^G3739 he foreknew^G4267^(G5656).^G2228 Wot ye^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756 what^G5101 the scripture^G1124 saith^G3004^(G5719) of^G1722 Elias^G2243? how^G5613 he maketh intercession^G1793^(G5719) to God^G2316 against^G2596 Israel^G2474, saying^G3004^(G5723),

³ “Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”

KJVLord^G2962, they have killed^G615^(G5656) thy^G4675 prophets^G4396, and^G2532 digged down^G2679^(G5656) thine^G4675 altars^G2379; and I^G2504 am left^G5275^(G5681) alone^G3441, and^G2532 they seek^G2212^(G5719) my^G3450 life^G5590.

⁴ But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”

KJVBut^G235 what^G5101 saith^G3004^(G5719) the answer of God^G5538 unto him^G846? I have reserved^G2641^(G5627) to myself^G1683 seven thousand^G2035 men^G435, who^G3748 have^G2578 not^G3756 bowed^G2578^(G5656) the knee^G1119 to the image of Baal^G896.

⁵ Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

KJVEven so^G3779 then^G3767 at^G1722 this present^G3568 time^G2540 also^G2532 there is^G1096^(G5754) a remnant^G3005 according^G2596 to the election^G1589 of grace^G5485.

⁶ And if by grace, then 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.

KJVAnd^G1161 if^G1487 by grace^G5485, then is it no more^G2089^G3765 of^G1537 works^G2041: otherwise^G1893 grace^G5485 is^G1096^(G5736) no more^G2089^G3765 grace^G5485. But^G1161 if^G1487 it be of^G1537 works^G2041, then is it^G2076^(G5748) no more^G2089^G3765 grace^G5485: otherwise^G1893 work^G2041 is^G2076^(G5748) no more^G2089^G3765 work^G2041.

⁷ What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.

KJVWhat^G5101 then^G3767? Israel^G2474 hath^G2013 not^G3756 obtained^G2013^(G5627) that^G5127 which^G3739 he seeketh for^G1934^(G5719); but^G1161 the election^G1589 hath obtained it^G2013^(G5627), and^G1161 the rest^G3062 were blinded^G4456^(G5681)

⁸ According as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.”

KJV(According as^G2531 it is written^G1125^(G5769), God^G2316 hath given^G1325^(G5656) them^G846 the spirit^G4151 of slumber^G2659, eyes^G3788 that they should^G991 not^G3361 see^G991^(G5721), and^G2532 ears^G3775 that they should^G191 not^G3361 hear^G191^(G5721);) unto^G2193 this^G4594 day^G2250.

⁹ David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.

KJVAnd^G2532 David^G1138 saith^G3004^(G5719), Let^G1096 their^G846 table^G5132 be made^G1096^(G5676) a snare^G1519^G3803, and^G2532 a trap^G1519^G2339, and^G2532 a stumblingblock^G1519^G4625, and^G2532 a recompence^G1519^G468 unto them^G846:

¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”

KJVLet^G4654 their^G846 eyes^G3788 be darkened^G4654^(G5682), that they may^G991 not^G3361 see^G991^(G5721), and^G2532 bow down^G4781^(G5657) their^G846 back^G3577 alway^G1275.

¹¹ I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

KJVI say^G3004^(G5719) then^G3767,^G3361 Have they stumbled^G4417^(G5656) that^G2443 they should fall^G4098^(G5632)? God forbid^G3361^G1096^(G5636): but^G235 rather through their^G846 fall^G3900 salvation^G4991 is come unto the Gentiles^G1484, for to^G1519 provoke^G3863 them^G846 to jealousy^G3863^(G5658).

¹² Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!

KJVNow^G1161 if^G1487 the fall^G3900 of them^G846 be the riches^G4149 of the world^G2889, and^G2532 the diminishing^G2275 of them^G846 the riches^G4149 of the Gentiles^G1484; how^G4214 much more^G3123 their^G846 fulness^G4138?

¹³ For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,

KJVFor^G1063 I speak^G3004^(G5719) to you^G5213 Gentiles^G1484, inasmuch as^G1909^G3745^G3303 I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) the apostle^G652 of the Gentiles^G1484, I magnify^G1392^(G5719) mine^G3450 office^G1248:

¹⁴ if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.

KJVIf by any means^G1513^G4458 I may provoke to emulation^G3863^(G5661) them which are my^G3450 flesh^G4561, and^G2532 might save^G4982^(G5661) some^G5100 of^G1537 them^G846.

¹⁵ For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?

KJVFor^G1063 if^G1487 the casting away^G580 of them^G846 be the reconciling^G2643 of the world^G2889, what^G5101 shall the receiving^G4356 of them be, but^G1508 life^G2222 from^G1537 the dead^G3498?

¹⁶ If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.

KJVFor^G1161 if^G1487 the firstfruit^G536 be holy^G40, the lump^G5445 is also^G2532 holy: and^G2532 if^G1487 the root^G4491 be holy^G40, so^G2532 are the branches^G2798.

¹⁷ But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree,

KJVAnd^G1161 if some^G1536 of the branches^G2798 be broken off^G1575^(G5681), and^G1161 thou^G4771, being^G5607^(G5752) a wild olive tree^G65, wert graffed in^G1461^(G5681) among^G1722 them^G846, and^G2532 with^G4791 them^G1096^(G5633) partakest^G4791 of the root^G4491 and^G2532 fatness^G4096 of the olive tree^G1636;

¹⁸ don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.

KJVBoast^G2620 not^G3361 against^G2620^(G5737) the branches^G2798. But^G1161 if^G1487 thou boast^G2620^(G5736), thou^G4771 bearest^G941^(G5719) not^G3756 the root^G4491, but^G235 the root^G4491 thee^G4571.

¹⁹ You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”

KJVThou wilt say^G2046^(G5692) then^G3767, The branches^G2798 were broken off^G1575^(G5681), that^G2443 I^G1473 might be graffed in^G1461^(G5686).

²⁰ True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;

KJVWell^G2573; because of unbelief^G570 they were broken off^G1575^(G5681), and^G1161 thou^G4771 standest^G2476^(G5758) by faith^G4102. Be^G5309 not^G3361 highminded^G5309^(G5720), but^G235 fear^G5399^(G5737):

²¹ for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

KJVFor^G1063 if^G1487 God^G2316 spared^G5339^(G5662) not^G3756 the natural^G5449 branches^G2798^G2596, take heed lest^G4458^G3381 he^G5339 also^G3381 spare^G5339^(G5667) not^G3761 thee^G4675.

²² See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

KJVBehold^G1492^(G5657) therefore^G3767 the goodness^G5544 and^G2532 severity^G663 of God^G2316: on^G1909 them which fell^G4098^(G5631)^G3303, severity^G663; but^G1161 toward^G1909 thee^G4571, goodness^G5544, if^G1437 thou continue^G1961^(G5661) in his goodness^G5544: otherwise^G1893 thou^G4771 also^G2532 shalt be cut off^G1581^(G5691).

²³ They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

KJVAnd^G1161 they^G1565 also^G2532, if^G3362 they abide^G1961^(G5661) not^G3362 still in unbelief^G570, shall be graffed in^G1461^(G5701): for^G1063 God^G2316 is^G2076^(G5748) able^G1415 to graff^G1461 them^G846 in^G1461^(G5658) again^G3825.

²⁴ For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

KJVFor^G1063 if^G1487 thou^G4771 wert cut^G1581^(G5648) out of^G1537 the olive tree which is wild^G65 by^G2596 nature^G5449, and^G2532 wert graffed^G1461^(G5681) contrary to^G3844 nature^G5449 into^G1519 a good olive tree^G2565: how much^G4214 more^G3123 shall these^G3778, which be the natural^G2596^G5449 branches, be graffed into^G1461^(G5701) their own^G2398 olive tree^G1636?

²⁵ For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,

KJVFor^G1063 I would^G2309^(G5719) not^G3756, brethren^G80, that ye^G5209 should be ignorant^G50^(G5721) of this^G5124 mystery^G3466, lest^G3363 ye should be^G5600^(G5753) wise^G5429 in^G3844 your own conceits^G1438; that^G3754 blindness^G4457 in^G575 part^G3313 is happened^G1096^(G5754) to Israel^G2474, until^G891^G3739 the fulness^G4138 of the Gentiles^G1484 be come in^G1525^(G5632).

²⁶ and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

KJVAnd^G2532 so^G3779 all^G3956 Israel^G2474 shall be saved^G4982^(G5701): as^G2531 it is written^G1125^(G5769), There shall come^G2240^(G5692) out of^G1537 Sion^G4622 the Deliverer^G4506^(G5740), and^G2532 shall turn away^G654^(G5692) ungodliness^G763 from^G575 Jacob^G2384:

²⁷ This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”

KJVFor^G2532 this^G3778 is my^G3844^G1700 covenant^G1242 unto them^G846, when^G3752 I shall take away^G851^(G5643) their^G846 sins^G266.

²⁸ Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.

KJVAs concerning^G2596^G3303 the gospel^G2098, they are enemies^G2190 for your sakes^G1223^G5209: but^G1161 as touching^G2596 the election^G1589, they are beloved^G27 for^G1223 the fathers^G3962' sakes^G1223.

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