Romans 12:3-8
3For through 1the grace given to me I say to everyone among you 2not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to 3each a measure of faith. 4For 4just as we have many parts in one body and all 5the body’s parts do not have the same function, 5so we, 6who are many, are 7one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another. 6However, since we have gifts that 8differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them properly: if 9prophecy, 10in proportion to one’s faith; 7if 1112service, in the act of serving; or the one who 13teaches, in the act of teaching; 8or the one who 1415exhorts, in the work of 16exhortation; the one who gives, with 1718generosity; 19the one who 20is in leadership, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with 21cheerfulness.
