This are some theological terms to keep in mind when you translate:

• Righteous = Justo / Righteousness = Justicia: The text says:".... the fact that we have been made righteous, holy, and cleansed in Christ.", the translation said "...el hecho de que hemos sido salvos, santos y limpios en Cristo." (should say "justos, santos..."). [i.e. Romans 1:17: For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, "The righteous shall live by faith." (ESV). Romanos 1:17: Porque en el evangelio la justicia de Dios se revela por fe y para fe; como está escrito: MAS EL JUSTO POR LA FE VIVIRÁ. (LBLA). ]
• Accountability = rendir cuentas/ Accountable = (estar) a cuentas. "God has given us elders to bear our burdens in prayer, to instruct the church where needed, and yes, to provide accountability (Heb. 13:17)." Should be rendered "...y sí, también para poder rendir cuentas"
• For our sakes = Ponuestro bien (or "Por nuestro beneficio"). And not "Por nuestra salvacion, Cristo...". Try to find the most accurate word that you can without adding extra meaning to the text.
• The version of the Bible that we use is "La Biblia de las Americas (LBLA)" some Online Bibles have it. 
  

This are some grammatical things to pay attention:

• El vs. Él. The first one is a preposition the second is a personal pronoun. (i.e. El amigo de Juan. Él es su amigo).
• Mi vs. mí. (i.e. A mí me robaron mi cartera)
  

The tricky thing about this ones is that spell checks sometimes doesn't find them because they are spelled correctly.
