Romans 12:16

Be of the same mind (to auto fronountev). Absolute or independent use of the participle again as with all the participles through verse Romans 12:18, "thinking the same thing."

Set not your mind on high things (mh ta uyhla fronountev). "Not thinking the high things" (uyhlov from uyov, height). Cf. I Corinthians 13:5.

Condescend to things that are lowly (toiv tapeinoiv sunapagomenoi). "Be carried away with (borne along with) the lowly things" (in contrast with ta uyhla, though the associative instrumental case may be masculine, "with lowly men." See Galatians 2:13; II Peter 3:17 for the only other N.T. examples of this old verb.

Be not wise (mh ginesqe fronimoi). "Do not have the habit of becoming (ginesqe) wise in your own conceits" (par eautoiv, beside yourselves). Note the imperative in the midst of infinitives and participles.
