Romans 12:4-8
New American Standard Bible
4 For (A)just as we have many parts in one body and all [a]the body’s parts do not have the same function, 5 so we, (B)who are many, are (C)one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another. 6 However, since we have gifts that (D)differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them properly: if (E)prophecy, [b]in proportion to one’s faith; 7 if [c](F)service, in the act of serving; or the one who (G)teaches, in the act of teaching; 8 or the one who [d](H)exhorts, in the work of [e]exhortation; the one who gives, with [f](I)generosity; (J)the one who [g]is in leadership, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with (K)cheerfulness.

Romans 12:4-8
New International Version
4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,(A) 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body,(B) and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts,(C) according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying,(D) then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith;(E) 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;(F) 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement;(G) if it is giving, then give generously;(H) if it is to lead,[b] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of [a](A)prophecy, they will be done away with; if there are (B)tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away with. 9 For we (C)know in part and prophesy in part; 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away with.

7 But (A)to each one of us (B)grace was given (C)according to the measure of Christ’s gift. 8 Therefore [a]it says,
9 (Now this expression, “He (F)ascended,” what [b]does it mean except that He also [c]had descended into (G)the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is Himself also He who ascended (H)far above all the heavens, so that He might (I)fill all things.) 11 And He (J)gave (K)some as apostles, some as prophets, some as (L)evangelists, some as [d]pastors and (M)teachers, 12 (N)for the equipping of the [e]saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of (O)the body of Christ; 13 until we all attain to (P)the unity of the faith, and of the [f](Q)knowledge of the Son of God, to a (R)mature man, to the measure of the stature [g]which belongs to the (S)fullness of Christ. 14 [h]As a result, we are (T)no longer to be children, (U)tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by (V)craftiness [i]in (W)deceitful scheming; 15 but [j]speaking the truth (X)in love, [k]we are to (Y)grow up in all aspects into Him who is the (Z)head, that is, Christ, 16 from whom (AA)the whole body, being fitted and held together [l]by what every joint supplies, according to the [m]proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself (AB)in love.

Ephesians 4:7-16

7 But to each one of us(A) grace(B) has been given(C) as Christ apportioned it. 8 This is why it[a] says:
9 (What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions[c]? 10 He who descended is the very one who ascended(F) higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)(G) 11 So Christ himself gave(H) the apostles,(I) the prophets,(J) the evangelists,(K) the pastors and teachers,(L) 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ(M) may be built up(N) 13 until we all reach unity(O) in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God(P) and become mature,(Q) attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.(R)
14 Then we will no longer be infants,(S) tossed back and forth by the waves,(T) and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.(U) 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love,(V) we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head,(W) that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows(X) and builds itself up(Y) in love,(Z) as each part does its work.
