To render service, operam alicui navare, dare, dicare: to render gratuitous services to the state, suo sumtu reipublicae operam praebere: to render great services in a war, alicujus plurima est in bello aliquo opera. To render an account, rationem reddere: to render good for evil, maleficia benefactis pensare; evil for good, benefacta maleficiis pensare.
To make (with predicative adjective), reddere: facere: efficere: ☞ in the passive fieri; hardly ever reddi (nor can every adjective be so used; e.g., not reddere aliquid verisimile, but aliquid demonstrare, studere, probare; Krebs: after Klotz. ad Sint., p. 162: reddere aliquem aliquid or aliquem ex aliquo is right; e.g., homines ex feris): mansuetos reddere (facere and efficere are simply to put anything into a certain state; reddere implies a change of its preceding state).
