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

12:18a

If it is possible on your part,

If possible, about the things for which you^(plur) are responsible,
As far as it is possible for you to do something about it,

If it is possible: This phrase indicates that it is not always possible to be at peace with other people. Someone might be an enemy to you no matter what you do or say. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

If possible (ESV)

As much as possible (NJB)

Whenever you can

on your part: This phrase refers to what you say and what you do. You should not, on purpose, break the peace with those words and deeds. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

as far as it depends on you (ESV)

to the utmost of your ability (NJB)

12:18b

live at peace with everyone.

live at peace with everyone.
live in a way that you are not fighting or arguing with anyone.

live at peace: This phrase refers to living in a way that you are at peace with others, that is, no fighting or angry arguments.

uW Translation Notes:

τὸ ἐξ ὑμῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἰ δυνατόν τό ἐξ ὑμῶν μετά πάντων ἀνθρώπων εἰρηνεύοντες)

Alternate translation: [so far as it depends on you] or [as much as it is up to you]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

μετὰ πάντων ἀνθρώπων εἰρηνεύοντες

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἰ δυνατόν τό ἐξ ὑμῶν μετά πάντων ἀνθρώπων εἰρηνεύοντες)

Paul is using a statement to give a command. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural form for commands. Alternate translation: [live at peace with all men]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

πάντων ἀνθρώπων

all people

Although the term men is masculine, Paul is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: [all people]
