NASB | Romans 12:1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 12:1 Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship. |
Bible Question (short): Meekness synonymous with sacrifice? |
Question (full): Thanks, prayon! In a way, the poem seems to be describing someone who is silent and non-confrontational in the face of any circumstance. Someone who is passive, rather than active, in life. Someone who would, for example, eat what is served at a restaurant without complaint, even if it were not what was ordered. Or would accept an unfair law, perhaps, without working strenuously for its repeal. Am I just reading it wrong? I can think of several well-known examples where Jesus Himself didn't just meekly accept whatever came His way.... --Cheryl |
