OET interlinear ROM 12:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

For indicates that what follows this word explains what came before it. Here, For indicates that what follows is the reason why Paul’s readers should “think with a sound mind,” as stated in the previous verse. Use a natural way in your language for indicating a reason. Alternate translation: “You must do this because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

καθάπερ

just_as

Here, just as indicates that what follows in this verse is a simile. Paul uses this simile to compare all believers in Christ to the parts of a human body. Since Paul explains the comparison in the next verse, you do not need to express the meaning plainly here.

μέλη & μέλη

members & /the/_members

See how you translated members in 6:13.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν αὐτὴν ἔχει πρᾶξιν

the same /is/_having practicing

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of function, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “function for the same purposes”
