3For through athe grace given to me I say to each one among you bnot to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound thinking, as God has allotted to ceach a measure of faith.

4For ajust as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function,

5so we, awho are many, are bone body in Christ, and individually members one of another,

6but having gifts that adiffer according to the grace given to us: whether bprophecy, 1in agreement with the faith;

7or 1aservice, in his serving; or he who bteaches, in his teaching;

8or he who aexhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with 1bgenerosity; che who 2leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with dcheerfulness.

9Let alove be without hypocrisy—by babhorring what is evil, clinging to what is good,

10being adevoted to one another in brotherly love, 1giving preference to one another bin honor,

11not lagging behind in diligence, being afervent in spirit, bserving the Lord,

12arejoicing in hope, bpersevering in affliction, being cdevoted to prayer,

13acontributing to the needs of the 1saints, bpursuing hospitality.

14aBless those who persecute 1you; bless, and do not curse.

15aRejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep,

16by abeing of the same mind toward one another, bnot being haughty in mind, but 1associating with the humble. cDo not be wise in your own mind.

Read in Logos
Romans 12:12: Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
