Romans 12:4-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴ Each part of our body works in a different way. But all the parts belong to our one body. ⁵ In the same way, we are many people, but we all belong to Christ, like one body. We also belong to each other, like the different parts of one body belong to each other.

⁶ God has been kind to us. He has given to each of us different gifts so that we can serve him. God helps some people to speak his messages clearly. Those people should trust God to tell them what to say. ⁷ God helps some people to serve others. They should do that well. God helps some people to be able to teach others. Those people should teach well.

⁸ If God has helped you to make others strong, then you should do that. If God has helped you to share your things with others, do that seriously. If God has helped you to be a leader, do that carefully. If God has helped you to be kind to others, do that happily.

Love people and help them
