³ For through ^(A)the grace given to me I say to everyone among you ^(B)not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to ^(C)each a measure of faith. ⁴ For ^(D)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, ^(E)who are many, are ^(F)one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another. ⁶ However, since we have gifts that ^(G)differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them properly: if ^(H)prophecy, ^[b]in proportion to one’s faith; ⁷ if ^[c](I)service, in the act of serving; or the one who ^(J)teaches, in the act of teaching; ⁸ or the one who ^[d](K)exhorts, in the work of ^[e]exhortation; the one who gives, with ^[f](L)generosity; ^(M)the one who ^[g]is in leadership, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with ^(N)cheerfulness.

⁴ Now there are ^(A)varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. ⁵ And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. ⁶ There are varieties of effects, but the same ^(B)God who works all things in all persons. ⁷ But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit ^(C)for the common good. ⁸ For to one is given the word of ^(D)wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of ^(E)knowledge according to the same Spirit;

¹¹ And He ^(A)gave ^(B)some as apostles, some as prophets, some as ^(C)evangelists, some as ^[a]pastors and ^(D)teachers, ^12 (E)for the equipping of the ^[b]saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of ^(F)the body of Christ; ¹³ until we all attain to ^(G)the unity of the faith, and of the ^[c](H)knowledge of the Son of God, to a ^(I)mature man, to the measure of the stature ^[d]which belongs to the ^(J)fullness of Christ. ^14 [e]As a result, we are ^(K)no longer to be children, ^(L)tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by ^(M)craftiness ^[f]in ^(N)deceitful scheming; ¹⁵ but ^[g]speaking the truth ^(O)in love, ^[h]we are to ^(P)grow up in all aspects into Him who is the ^(Q)head, that is, Christ, ¹⁶ from whom ^(R)the whole body, being fitted and held together ^[i]by what every joint supplies, according to the ^[j]proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself ^(S)in love.
