Romans 12:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 12:5

Serve God with Spiritual Gifts

3 For I say, ^athrough the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, ^bnot to think of himself 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, let us use them: if prophecy, let us ^bprophesy in proportion to our faith;

7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; ^ahe who teaches, in teaching;

8 ^ahe who exhorts, in exhortation; ^bhe who gives, with liberality; ^che who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, ^dwith cheerfulness.
