²⁴ And ^(A)let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, ^25 (B)not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and ^(C)all the more as you see ^(D)the Day drawing near.

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.

Marks of the True Christian
