Romans 12:1-8 I BESEECH then of you, my brethren, by the mercies of Aloha, that you present Or, make to stand, constitute. your bodies a sacrifice, living and holy and acceptable unto Aloha, in a rational* service. * Meliltho. Compare the use of the corresponding Chaldee word in the Targum of Onkelos on Gen : , where the divine afflatus is described as creating in man ruch memalla, "a speaking or rational spirit."

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I BESEECH then of you, my brethren, by the mercies of Aloha, that you present [Or, make to stand, constitute.] your bodies a sacrifice, living and holy and acceptable unto Aloha, in a rational* service. [* Meliltho. Compare the use of the corresponding Chaldee word in the Targum of Onkelos on Gen 2:7, where the divine afflatus is described as creating in man ruch memalla, "a speaking or rational spirit."] ² And be not likened unto this world, but be changed by the renewing of your minds, that you may discern what is the will of Aloha, good, and acceptable, and perfect. ³ But I tell you all through the grace which is given to me, that you are not to think beyond what it is proper to think; but that you think with sobriety, every man as Aloha hath divided to him faith in measure. ⁴ For as in one body we have many members, and as all the members have not one work, ⁵ so also we who are many are one body in the Meshiha; but we are each of us members one of another. ⁶ But we have various gifts according to the grace that is given to us: is it prophecy? (let him who has received it) prophesy according to the measure of the faith. ⁷ Hath (another the gift) of ministry? (let him be employed) in his ministry; he who is a teacher, (let him labour) in his teaching; ⁸ he who is an exhorter, in his exhorting; as he who giveth, (let him give with simplicity;) and he who presideth,[Lit. "standeth at the head."] (let it be) with diligence; and he who (is engaged in works) of mercy, with cheerfulness.
