⁷ Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

¹¹ All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

¹² So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church.

¹⁰ Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. ¹¹ If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
