Romans 12:6-16
6However, since we have gifts that 1differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them properly: if 2prophecy, 3in proportion to one’s faith; 7if 45service, in the act of serving; or the one who 6teaches, in the act of teaching; 8or the one who 78exhorts, in the work of 9exhortation; the one who gives, with 1011generosity; 12the one who 13is in leadership, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with 14cheerfulness.
91516Love must be free of hypocrisy. 17Detest what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be 18devoted to one another in brotherly love; 19give preference to one another 20in honor, 11not lagging behind in diligence, 21fervent in spirit, 22serving the Lord; 1223rejoicing in hope, 24persevering in tribulation, 25devoted to prayer, 1326contributing to the needs of the 27saints, 2829practicing hospitality.
1430Bless those who persecute 31you; bless and do not curse. 1532Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 1633Be of the same mind toward one another; 34do not be 35haughty in mind, but 36associate with the lowly. 37Do not be wise in your own estimation.
