Romans 12:4-16
New International Version
Romans 12:4-16
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.
Love in Action
9 Love must be sincere.(I) Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.(J) 10 Be devoted to one another in love.(K) Honor one another above yourselves.(L) 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor,(M) serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope,(N) patient in affliction,(O) faithful in prayer.(P) 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.(Q) Practice hospitality.(R)
14 Bless those who persecute you;(S) bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.(T) 16 Live in harmony with one another.(U) Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.[c] Do not be conceited.(V)

Romans 12:4-16
King James Version
Romans 12:4-16
King James Version
4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
