⁶ However, since we have gifts that ^(A)differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them properly: if ^(B)prophecy, ^[a]in proportion to one’s faith; ⁷ if ^[b](C)service, in the act of serving; or the one who ^(D)teaches, in the act of teaching; ⁸ or the one who ^[c](E)exhorts, in the work of ^[d]exhortation; the one who gives, with ^[e](F)generosity; ^(G)the one who ^[f]is in leadership, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with ^(H)cheerfulness.

^9 [g](I)Love must be free of hypocrisy. ^(J)Detest what is evil; cling to what is good. ¹⁰ Be ^(K)devoted to one another in brotherly love; ^[h]give preference to one another ^(L)in honor, ¹¹ not lagging behind in diligence, ^(M)fervent in spirit, ^(N)serving the Lord; ^12 (O)rejoicing in hope, ^(P)persevering in tribulation, ^(Q)devoted to prayer, ^13 (R)contributing to the needs of the ^[i]saints, ^[j](S)practicing hospitality.

^14 (T)Bless those who persecute ^[k]you; bless and do not curse. ^15 (U)Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. ^16 (V)Be of the same mind toward one another; ^(W)do not be ^[l]haughty in mind, but ^[m]associate with the lowly. ^(X)Do not be wise in your own estimation. ^17 (Y)Never repay evil for evil to anyone. ^[n](Z)Respect what is right in the sight of all people. ¹⁸ If possible, ^(AA)so far as it depends on you, ^(AB)be at peace with all people. ^19 (AC)Never take your own revenge, beloved, but ^[o]leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written: “^(AD)Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. ²⁰ “^(AE)But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” ²¹ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

²⁴ and to ^(A)put on the ^(B)new ^[a]self, which ^[b](C)in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

²⁵ Therefore, ^(D)ridding yourselves of falsehood, ^(E)speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, because we are ^(F)parts of one another. ^26 (G)Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, ²⁷ and do not ^(H)give the devil ^[c]an opportunity. ²⁸ The one who steals must no longer steal; but rather ^(I)he must labor, ^(J)producing with his own hands what is good, ^(K)so that he will have something to share with the one who has need. ²⁹ Let no ^[d](L)unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but if there is any good word for ^(M)edification ^[e]according to the need of the moment, say that, so that it will give grace to those who hear. ^30 (N)Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, ^[f]by whom you were ^(O)sealed for the day of redemption. ^31 (P)All bitterness, wrath, anger, ^[g]clamor, and slander must be ^(Q)removed from you, along with all ^(R)malice. ^32 (S)Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other, ^(T)just as God in Christ also has forgiven ^[h]you.
