Romans 12 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Rom 12:1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your intelligent service.
Rom 12:2And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Rom 12:3For I say, through the grace which has been given to me, to every one that is among you, not to have high thoughts above what he should think; but to think so as to be wise, as God has dealt to each a measure of faith.
Rom 12:4For, as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office;
Rom 12:5thus we, being many, are one body in Christ, and each one members one of the other.
Rom 12:6But having different gifts, according to the grace which has been given to us, whether it be prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
Rom 12:7or service, let us occupy ourselves in service; or he that teaches, in teaching;
Rom 12:8or he that exhorts, in exhortation; he that gives, in simplicity; he that leads, with diligence; he that shews mercy, with cheerfulness.
Rom 12:9Let love be unfeigned; abhorring evil; cleaving to good:
Rom 12:10as to brotherly love, kindly affectioned towards one another: as to honour, each taking the lead in paying it to the other:
Rom 12:11as to diligent zealousness, not slothful; in spirit fervent; serving the Lord.
Rom 12:12As regards hope, rejoicing: as regards tribulation, enduring: as regards prayer, persevering:
Rom 12:13distributing to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.
Rom 12:14Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.
Rom 12:15Rejoice with those that rejoice, weep with those that weep.
Rom 12:16Have the same respect one for another, not minding high things, but going along with the lowly: be not wise in your own eyes:
Rom 12:17recompensing to no one evil for evil: providing things honest before all men:
Rom 12:18if possible, as far as depends on you, living in peace with all men;
Rom 12:19not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance belongs to me, *I* will recompense, saith the Lord.
Rom 12:20If therefore thine enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him drink; for, so doing, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.
Rom 12:21Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
