Romans 12
1 My fellow believers, since God has acted mercifully [toward you] in so many ways, I appeal to [all of] you that you present yourselves [SYN] [to him by making yourselves like] holy sacrifices [MET]. [Make yourselves sacrifices] that he is pleased with, sacrifices that are living/alive, [not ones that are dead/killed. Since God has done so much for you/us], this is the [only] appropriate way to serve him.
to plead/comfort therefore/then you brother through/because of the/this/who compassion the/this/who God to stand by the/this/who body you sacrifice to live holy well-pleasing the/this/who God the/this/who spiritual ministry you
2 Do not let anything non-Christian determine how you should act. Instead, let God change your [way of life] by making your way of thinking new, in order that you may know what he wants you to do. That is, you will know what is good, and you will know what pleases [God], and you will know how to be all that he wants you to be. (aiōn g165)
and not (to conform to *NK+o) the/this/who an age: age this/he/she/it but (to transform *NK+o) the/this/who renewal the/this/who mind (you *k) toward the/this/who to test you which? the/this/who will/desire the/this/who God the/this/who good and well-pleasing and perfect (aiōn g165)
3 Because God has kindly appointed me [to be his apostle], which I did not deserve, I say this to every one of you: Do not think about yourselves more highly than what is right for you to think! Instead, think [about yourselves] in a sensible way that [corresponds to the abilities] that God has given you [because] you trust [in Christ].
to say for through/because of the/this/who grace the/this/who to give me all the/this/who to be in/on/among you not be haughty from/with/beside which be necessary to reason but to reason toward the/this/who be of sound mind each as/when the/this/who God to divide measure faith
4 Although a person has one body, it consists of many parts. All of the parts are needed for [the body], but they do not all function the same way.
just as for in/on/among one body much member to have/be the/this/who then member all no the/this/who it/s/he to have/be action
5 Similarly we, [although we are] many, are [united into] one group because of our relationship with Christ, and we belong to one another. [So no one should act as though he] is needed by God more [than others are!]
thus(-ly) the/this/who much one body to be in/on/among Christ (the/this/who *N+kO) then according to one one another member
6 [Instead], since each one of us can do various things that differ according to the abilities that [God has] given to us, [we should do them diligently and cheerfully]! Those whom [God has enabled] to speak messages from him [should speak] what corresponds to what they believe [God told them].
to have/be then gift according to the/this/who grace the/this/who to give me different whether prophecy according to the/this/who proportion the/this/who faith
7 [Those whom God has enabled] to serve [others] should do that. [Those whom God has enabled] to teach [his truth] should do that.

8 Those [whom God has enabled to] encourage/exhort [his people] should do that. Those who share [their goods/money with others] should do it sincerely/generously. Those who lead [the congregation] should do it wholeheartedly. Those who help the needy should do it cheerfully.

9 Love others sincerely! Hate what is evil! Continue to eagerly do what [God considers to be] good!

10 Love one another as members of the same family do; and, you should be (the first ones/eager) to honor each other!

16 Desire for others what you desire for yourselves (OR, Live harmoniously with each other)! Do not do things because you want to be [famous]! Instead, be content to do [tasks that others consider that only] unimportant people do (OR, [to associate with unimportant] people). Do not consider yourselves wise.

17 Do not do something evil to anyone [who has done] something evil to you. Act in a way that all people will recognize as good!
nothing evil/harm: evil for evil/harm: evil to pay to care for good before all a human
18 Live peacefully with other people whenever it is possible, to the extent that you [can influence the situation].
if able the/this/who out from you with/after all a human be at peace
19 [My fellow believers] whom I love, do not do something evil in return when people do something evil to you! Instead, allow [God] to punish them [MTY], because it is {someone has} written [in the Scriptures that] the Lord [said], “‘It is my responsibility to take revenge; I am the one who will punish [people who do something something evil to you] [DOU],’ says the Lord.”
not themself to avenge beloved but to give place the/this/who wrath to write for I/we vengeance I/we to repay to say lord: God
20 Instead of [doing something evil to those who have done something evil to you], [do as the Scriptures teach]: “If your [(sg)] enemies are hungry, feed them! If they are thirsty, give them something to drink! By doing that, you [(sg)] will cause them to feel ashamed [and perhaps they will change their attitude toward you] [IDM].”
(but *N+KO) if to hunger the/this/who enemy you to feed/dole out it/s/he if to thirst to water it/s/he this/he/she/it for to do/make: do charcoal fire to pile up upon/to/against the/this/who head it/s/he
21 Do not let evil [things that others have done to you] overcome you [(sg) by making you do evil things to them!] [PRS] Instead, overcome the evil [things that they have done] by [doing] good [deeds to them]!
not to conquer by/under: by the/this/who evil/harm: evil but to conquer in/on/among the/this/who good the/this/who evil/harm: evil
