6 Since we have gifts that adiffer according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if bprophecy, 1according to the proportion of his faith;

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

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

9 Let alove be without hypocrisy. bAbhor what is evil; cling to what is good.

10 Be adevoted to one another in brotherly love; 1give preference to one another bin honor;

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

12 arejoicing in hope, bpersevering in tribulation, cdevoted to prayer,

13 acontributing to the needs of the 1saints, 2bpracticing hospitality.

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

15 aRejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

16 aBe of the same mind toward one another; bdo not be haughty in mind, but 1associate with the lowly. cDo not be wise in your own estimation.
