Romans 12:3-8
English Standard Version
Gifts of Grace
3 For (A)by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you (B)not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, (C)each according to (D)the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For (E)as in one body we have many members,[a] and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, (F)though many, (G)are one body in Christ, and individually (H)members one of another. 6 (I)Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if (J)prophecy, (K)in proportion to our faith; 7 if (L)service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; (M)the one who leads,[b] with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with (N)cheerfulness.

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 standard of one’s[a] faith;
7 if service,(I) 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)
