Romans 12:4-9
New King James Version
4 For (A)as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 so (B)we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is (C)given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us (D)prophesy in proportion to our faith; 7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; (E)he who teaches, in teaching; 8 (F)he who exhorts, in exhortation; (G)he who gives, with liberality; (H)he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, (I)with cheerfulness.
Behave Like a Christian
9 (J)Let love be without hypocrisy. (K)Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.

Romans 12:4-9
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)
