Humble Service in the Body of Christ

³ For by the grace given me^(A) I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

¹⁷ For this reason I have sent to you^(A) Timothy,^(B) my son^(C) whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.^(D)

³³ For God is not a God of disorder^(A) but of peace^(B)—as in all the congregations^(C) of the Lord’s people.^(D)

¹⁸ And we are sending along with him the brother^(A) who is praised by all the churches^(B) for his service to the gospel.^(C)

²⁸ Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.^(A)
