Romans 12:3-8
Serve God with Spiritual Gifts
3 For I say, (Rom. 1:5; 15:15; 1 Cor. 3:10; 15:10; Gal. 2:9; Eph. 3:7) through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, (Prov. 25:27) not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think but to think soberly, as God has dealt [Eph. 4:7] to each one a measure of faith.
4 For ( 1 Cor. 12:12–14; [Eph. 4:4, 16]) as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,
5 so ([1 Cor. 10:17]; Gal. 3:28) 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 [John 3:27] given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us (Acts 11:27) prophesy in proportion to our faith;
7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; (Eph. 4:11) he who teaches, in teaching;
8 (Acts 15:32) he who exhorts, in exhortation; [Matt. 6:1–3]he who gives, with liberality; [Acts 20:28] he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, (2 Cor. 9:7) with cheerfulness.
