Romans 12

TEXT every ONE of YOU I read all of chapter twelve but I kept coming back to the first three verses. Is Paul commanding each one of us to be transformed individually? Or, is he asking for a communal transformation? Actually I went back to chapter eleven. I don't think the "therefore" in 12:1 connects back to the doxology of 11:33-36. I think it connects back to the word "mercy" in the conclusion of Paul's musings about the salvation of Israel in 11:32. Paul seems to be saying, "God has shown and is showing mercy to Israel and to us the Gentiles. Therefore, let us be transformed." This is one of those times when pulling the old King James off the shelf is very helpful. If the KJV uses "you, your, yours" the Greek is plural and refers to the group. If the KJV uses variations of "he" or "thee" it is singular and refering to an individual. So here is my question for you, and I hope to be overloaded with responses. (Click on the word "comments" just below these paragraphs and follow the instructions.) I contend that we have misread this passage and taught ourselves to transform our individual selves. How do things change if Paul is actually calling us to transform and serve the body of Christ communally?
