⁶ However, since we have gifts that ^(A)differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them properly: if ^(B)prophecy, ^[a]in proportion to one’s faith; ⁷ if ^[b](C)service, in the act of serving; or the one who ^(D)teaches, in the act of teaching; ⁸ or the one who ^[c](E)exhorts, in the work of ^[d]exhortation; the one who gives, with ^[e](F)generosity; ^(G)the one who ^[f]is in leadership, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with ^(H)cheerfulness.

^9 [g](I)Love must be free of hypocrisy. ^(J)Detest what is evil; cling to what is good. ¹⁰ Be ^(K)devoted to one another in brotherly love; ^[h]give preference to one another ^(L)in honor, ¹¹ not lagging behind in diligence, ^(M)fervent in spirit, ^(N)serving the Lord; ^12 (O)rejoicing in hope, ^(P)persevering in tribulation, ^(Q)devoted to prayer, ^13 (R)contributing to the needs of the ^[i]saints, ^[j](S)practicing hospitality.

⁸ And ^(A)God is able to make all grace overflow to you, so that, always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed; ⁹ as it is written:

¹⁰ Now He who supplies ^(C)seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and ^(D)increase the harvest of your righteousness; ¹¹ you will be ^(E)enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing ^(F)thanksgiving to God. ¹² For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying ^(G)the needs of the ^[b]saints, but is also overflowing ^(H)through many thanksgivings to God. ¹³ Because of the proof given by this ^(I)ministry, they will ^(J)glorify God for your obedience to your ^(K)confession of the ^(L)gospel of Christ and for the liberality of your ^[c]contribution to them and to all, ¹⁴ while they also, by prayer on your behalf, yearn for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you. ^15 (M)Thanks be to God for His indescribable ^(N)gift!
