3For I say, mthrough the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, nnot to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think †soberly, oaccording as God hath dealt to every man pthe measure of faith. 4qFor as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5So we, rbeing many, sare one body in Christ, and every one tmembers one of another. 6uHaving then gifts differing oaccording to mthe grace that is given to us, whether wxprophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7Or yministry, let us wait on our ministering: or zhe that teacheth, on wateaching; 8Or bhe that exhorteth, on cexhortation: dhe that ||giveth, let him do it ||with simplicity; ehe that ruleth, with fdiligence; he that sheweth mercy, gwith cheerfulness.

9Let hlove be hiwithout dissimulation. jAbhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10Be kkindly affectioned one to another l||with brotherly love; min honour preferring one another; 11Not nslothful in fbusiness; ofervent in spirit; pserving the Lord; 12Rejoicing in hope; qpatient in tribulation; rcontinuing instant in prayer; 13sDistributing to the necessity of saints; tgiven to hospitality. 14uBless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15vRejoice with them that do rejoice, and wweep with them that weep. 16Be xof the same mind one toward another. yMind not high things, but ||condescend to men of low estate. zBe not wise in your own conceits.
