Romans 12:3-8

Gifts of Grace

3 For I say, f through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, g not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt h to each one a measure of faith. 4 For i as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 so j we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is k given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us l prophesy in proportion to our faith; 7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; m he who teaches, in teaching; 8 n he who exhorts, in exhortation; o he who gives, with liberality; p he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, q with cheerfulness.
