For (A)as in one body we have many members,[a] and the members do not all have the same function, so we, (B)though many, (C)are one body in Christ, and individually (D)members one of another. (E)Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if (F)prophecy, (G)in proportion to our faith; if (H)service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; (I)the one who leads,[b] with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with (J)cheerfulness.

Marks of the True Christian

For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,(A) so in Christ we, though many, form one body,(B) and each member belongs to all the others.

If your gift is prophesying,(D) then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith;(E) if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;(F) 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.
