Romans 12:3-8
Christian Standard Bible
Many Gifts but One Body
3 For by the grace(A) given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think.(B) Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith(C) to each one. 4 Now as we have many parts in one body,(D) and all the parts do not have the same function, 5 in the same way we who are many(E) are one body in Christ(F) and individually members of one another. 6 According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts:(G) If prophecy,(H) use it according to the proportion of one’s[a] faith; 7 if service,(I) use it in service; if teaching,(J) in teaching; 8 if exhorting,(K) in exhortation; giving, with generosity;(L) leading,(M) with diligence; showing mercy, with cheerfulness.(N)

Romans 12:3-8
New American Standard Bible
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.
