Romans 12:1-2,
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Transformed here is present tense and passive voice. I see now after 27 years Paul is saying, “You will be transformed when rhema (quickened word) manifests. And when it does it changes your will, purpose & intent insomuch that you are able ‘to recognize as genuine after examination’ & ‘to see whether a thing is genuine or not’ regarding what actually is the good, acceptable & perfect will of God.” In turn, this puts the enable power, will and energy of Him in us to be willful living sacrifices.
