A. PRESENT YOUR BODIES AS LIVING SACRIFICES (1)
1.
In view of the mercies of God (1a)
Therefore (oun) - consequently, these things being so
appeal (parakaleo) [Pres-Act-Ind] - to call to one’s side, call for, summon
by [preposition of means] the mercies of God - So great had been the mercy of God, that this constituted a reason why they should present their bodies
to present your bodies as a living sacrifice
present (paristemi) [Aor-Act-Inf (verbal noun)] - a snapshot in time to place a person or thing at one’s disposal, we are considered, “the presented”
living [zao: Pre-Act-Par] sacrifice - It implies, that he who offers it presents it entirely, releases all claim or right to it, and leaves it to be disposed of for the honour of God.
Note: The word used here commonly denotes the action of bringing and presenting an animal or other sacrifice before an altar.
It implies that the action was a free and voluntary offering.
2. Which is your reasonable service (1b)
holy and acceptable (euarestos) to God - This means, properly, without blemish or defect.
No other sacrifice could be made to God.
The Jews were expressly forbidden to offer that which was lame, or blind, or in any way deformed, so, what do you think that we, as living sacrifices, would be acceptable to God?
spiritual (logikos) worship (latreia) –
Logikos - pertaining to the soul, agreeable to reason
Latreia - to perform sacred services
B. BE TRANSFORMED, NOT CONFORMED TO THE WORLD (2)
1.
By the renewing of your mind (2a)
conformed (suschematizo) [Pre-Mid-Imp]- to conform one’s self (i.e.
one’s mind and character) to another’s pattern, (fashion one’s self according to)
Sun – with
Schema- as comprising everything in a person which strikes the senses, the figure, bearing, discourse, actions, manner of life etc.
to [article pointing to the indirect object] the world (aion) - denotes an age, or generation of men
transformed [Pre-Pas-Imp] (metamorphoo) - to change into another form
renewal (anakainosis) of your mind -a renewal, renovation, complete change for the better your intellectual faculty
Note that the grammar here seems to infer that as you are transformed by renewing your mind, you will be not conforming to the world.
Each is mutually exclusive!
See how this works in Philippians 4:
2. To prove the good, acceptable, and perfect will God (2b)
by testing you may discern (dokimazo) [Pre-Act-Inf] - to recognize as genuine after examination, to approve, deem worthy
the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect
good (agathos) - what is upright, honorable
acceptable (euarestos ) - well pleasing
perfect (teleios ) - brought to its end, finished
