SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:1–21: Paul taught about our body, love, and revenge

In this section, Paul taught that believers should use their bodies in ways that are holy and acceptable to God. Our thinking must change so that it follows the will of God and not the thinking of the people of this world.

Paul also taught that believers should not be more proud of themselves than what is right before God. We all have different gifts from the Holy Spirit, and we should use them.

Believers should love in a genuine way, avoid evil deeds, honor others, be full of eagerness to serve the Lord. They should rejoice, be patient, pray, help others, and show hospitality.

Believers should bless the people who persecute them, and live in sympathy and harmony with other believers. They are not to be proud such that they avoid people with no status in society. They are not to think of themselves as wise.

Believers are not to take revenge, but leave that for God to do something about the evil done to them. They are to do things that are honorable and live at peace with others, if they can. They are to bless their enemies by doing good to them.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

The New Life in Christ (NRSV)

Our bodies, thinking, and deeds must be holy and good

12:15a

Rejoice with those who rejoice;

When people rejoice, you^(plur) must rejoice together with them.
When others are happy, you should be happy along with them.

Rejoice with those who rejoice: When a fellow believer is happy about something, we should be happy for him.

12:15b

weep with those who weep.

And when they cry, you must cry together with them.
When others are sad and crying, you should be sad and cry along with them.

weep with those who weep: When a fellow believer is crying about something because he is sad, we should cry with or for him.

weep: This word refers to crying. It implies that one cries because one is sad. Here are other ways to translate this word:

cry

have tears because of sadness

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

χαίρειν μετὰ χαιρόντων, κλαίειν μετὰ κλαιόντων

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Χαίρειν μετά χαιρόντων κλαίειν μετά κλαιόντων)

Paul is using statements to give commands. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural form for commands. Alternate translation: [rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep]
