Many Gifts but One Body

For by the grace(A) given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think.(B) Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith(C) to each one. Now as we have many parts in one body,(D) and all the parts do not have the same function, in the same way we who are many(E) are one body in Christ(F) and individually members of one another. According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts:(G) If prophecy,(H) use it according to the proportion of one’s[a] faith; if service,(I) use it in service; if teaching,(J) in teaching; if exhorting,(K) in exhortation; giving, with generosity;(L) leading,(M) with diligence; showing mercy, with cheerfulness.(N)

Humble Service in the Body of Christ

For by the grace given me(A) I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,(B) so in Christ we, though many, form one body,(C) and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts,(D) according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying,(E) then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith;(F) if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;(G) if it is to encourage, then give encouragement;(H) if it is giving, then give generously;(I) if it is to lead,[b] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
