G3588–ὁ–ho

For the universe owes its origin to Him, was created by Him, and has its aim and purpose in Him. To Him be the glory throughout the Ages! Amen.

τὰ ta “<the>”ἡ hē “the”τοὺς tous “the”

I plead with you therefore, brethren, by the compassionsof God, to present all your faculties to Him as a living and holy sacrifice acceptable to Him. This with you will be an act of reasonable worship.

τῶν tōn “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὰ ta “the”τῷ tō “<the>”τὴν tēn “which is the”

And do not follow the customs of the present age, but be transformed by the entire renewal of your minds, so that you may learn by experience what God's will is--that will which is good and beautiful and perfect.

τῷ tō “to the”τῇ tēa “by the”τοῦ tou “of the”τὸ to “<the>”τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”

For through the authority graciously given to me I warn every individual among you not to value himself unduly, but to cultivate sobriety of judgement in accordance with the amount of faith which God has allotted to each one.

τῆς tēs “the”τῆς tēs “which”τῷ tō “who”τὸ to “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”

For just as there are in the one human body many parts, and these parts have not all the same function;

τὰ ta “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”

so collectively we form one body in Christ, while individually we are linked to one another as its members.

οἱ hoi “the”τὸ to “<the>”

But since we have special gifts which differ in accordance with the diversified work graciously entrusted to us, if it is prophecy, let the prophet speak in exact proportion to his faith;

τὴν tēn “the”τὴν tēn “which”τὴν tēn “the”τῆς tēs “of the”

if it is the gift of administration, let the administrator exercise a sound judgement in his duties.

τῇ tēa “the”ὁ ho “the [one]”τῇ tēa “the”

The teacher must do the same in his teaching; and he who exhorts others, in his exhortation. He who gives should be liberal; he who is in authority should be energetic and alert; and he who succours the afflicted should do it cheerfully.

ὁ ho “the [one]”τῇ tēa “the”ὁ ho “the [one]”ὁ ho “the [one]”ὁ ho “the [one]”

Let your love be perfectly sincere. Regard with horror what is evil; cling to what is right.

Ἡ Hē “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”τῷ tō “<the>”

As for brotherly love, be affectionate to one another; in matters of worldly honour, yield to one another.

τῇ tēa “<the>”τῇ tēa “<the>”

Do not be indolent when zeal is required. Be thoroughly warm-hearted, the Lord's own servants,

τῇ tēa “<the>”τῷ tō “<the>”τῷ tō “the”

full of joyful hope, patient under persecution, earnest and persistent in prayer.

τῇ tēa “<the>”τῇ tēa “<the>”τῇ tēa “<the>”

Relieve the necessities of God's people; always practise hospitality.

ταῖς tais “to the”τῶν tōn “of the”τὴν tēn “<the>”

Invoke blessings on your persecutors--blessings, not curses.

τοὺς tous “those”

Have full sympathy with one another. Do not give your mind to high things, but let humble ways content you. Do not be wise in your own conceits.

τὸ to “the”τὰ ta “the [things]”τοῖς tois “with the”

If you can, so far as it depends on you, live at peace with all the world.

τὸ to “<the>”

Do not be revengeful, my dear friends, but give way before anger; for it is written, "`Revenge belongs to Me: I will pay back,' says the Lord."

τῇ tēa “<the>”

On the contrary, therefore, if your enemy is hungry, give him food; if he is thirsty, quench his thirst. For by doing this you will be heaping burning coals upon his head.

ὁ ho “the”τὴν tēn “the”

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil with goodness.

τοῦ tou “<the>”τῷ tō “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”

Let every individual be obedient to those who rule over him; for no one is a ruler except by God's permission, and our present rulers have had their rank and power assigned to them by Him.

αἱ hai “those”τοῦ tou “<the>”

Therefore the man who rebels against his ruler is resisting God's will; and those who thus resist will bring punishment upon themselves.

ὁ ho “the [one]”τῇ tēa “the”τῇ tēa “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”οἱ hoi “those”

For judges and magistrates are to be feared not by right-doers but by wrong-doers. You desire--do you not? --to have no reason to fear your ruler. Well, do the thing that is right, and then he will commend you.

οἱ hoi “The”τῷ tō “to the”τῷ tō “to the”τὴν tēn “the”τὸ to “The”

For he is God's servant for your benefit. But if you do what is wrong, be afraid. He does not wear the sword to no purpose: he is God's servant--an administrator to inflict punishment upon evil-doers.

τὸ to “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”τῷ tō “to the [one]”τὸ to “<the>”

We must obey therefore, not only in order to escape punishment, but also for conscience' sake.

τὴν tēn “the”τὴν tēn “the”
