Serve God with Spiritual Gifts
3 For I say, athrough the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, bnot to think ofhimself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt cto each one a measure of faith.
4 For aas we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,
5 so awe, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is agiven to us, letususethem: if prophecy, letusbprophesy in proportion to our faith;
7 or ministry, letususeit in our ministering; ahe who teaches, in teaching;
8ahe who exhorts, in exhortation; bhe who gives, with liberality; che who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, dwith cheerfulness.

10aBe kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, bin honor giving preference to one another;
11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
12arejoicing in hope, bpatient in tribulation, ccontinuing steadfastly in prayer;
13adistributing to the needs of the saints, bgiven to hospitality.
14aBless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15aRejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
16aBe of the same mind toward one another. bDo not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
