3For through athe grace given to me I say to everyone among you bnot to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, 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.

6Since 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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

16aBe 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.

Read in Logos
