¹⁸ And ^(A)do not get drunk with wine, for that is ^(B)debauchery, but ^(C)be filled with the Spirit, ¹⁹ addressing one another in ^(D)psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, ^20 (E)giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father ^(F)in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^21 (G)submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Gifts of Grace

³ For ^(A)by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you ^(B)not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, ^(C)each according to ^(D)the measure of faith that God has assigned. ⁴ For ^(E)as in one body we have many members,^[a] and the members do not all have the same function, ⁵ so we, ^(F)though many, ^(G)are one body in Christ, and individually ^(H)members one of another. ^6 (I)Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if ^(J)prophecy, ^(K)in proportion to our faith; ⁷ if ^(L)service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; ⁸ the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; ^(M)the one who leads,^[b] with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with ^(N)cheerfulness.

³³ So then, my brothers,^[a] when you come together to eat, wait for^[b] one another— ^34 (A)if anyone is hungry, ^(B)let him eat at home—so that when you come together it will not be for judgment. About the other things ^(C)I will give directions ^(D)when I come.

^2 (A)Bear one another's burdens, and ^(B)so fulfill ^(C)the law of Christ.

¹⁷ Obey ^(A)your leaders and submit to them, ^(B)for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to ^(C)give an account. ^(D)Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.

⁸ Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since ^(A)love covers a multitude of sins. ^9 (B)Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. ^10 (C)As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, ^(D)as good stewards of God's varied grace: ¹¹ whoever speaks, as one who speaks ^(E)oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves ^(F)by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything ^(G)God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. ^(H)To him belong glory and ^(I)dominion forever and ever. Amen.
