Romans 12:6-16
6Since we have gifts that 1differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if 2prophecy, 3according to the proportion of his faith; 7if 45service, in his serving; or he who 6teaches, in his teaching; 8or he who 7exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with 89liberality; 10he who 11leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with 12cheerfulness.
9Let 13love be without hypocrisy. 14Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be 15devoted to one another in brotherly love; 16give preference to one another 17in honor; 11not lagging behind in diligence, 18fervent in spirit, 19serving the Lord; 1220rejoicing in hope, 21persevering in tribulation, 22devoted to prayer, 1323contributing to the needs of the 24saints, 2526practicing hospitality.
1427Bless those who persecute 28you; bless and do not curse. 1529Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 1630Be of the same mind toward one another; 31do not be haughty in mind, but 32associate with the lowly. 33Do not be wise in your own estimation.
