Romans 12:4-8

4For 1just as we have many parts in one body and all 2the body’s parts do not have the same function, 5so we, 3who are many, are 4one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another. 6However, since we have gifts that 5differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them properly: if 6prophecy, 7in proportion to one’s faith; 7if 89service, in the act of serving; or the one who 10teaches, in the act of teaching; 8or the one who 1112exhorts, in the work of 13exhortation; the one who gives, with 1415generosity; 16the one who 17is in leadership, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with 18cheerfulness.
