For through (A)the grace given to me I say to each one among you (B)not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound thinking, as God has allotted to (C)each a measure of faith. For (D)just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, (E)who are many, are (F)one body in Christ, and individually members one of another, but having gifts that (G)differ according to the grace given to us: whether (H)prophecy, [a]in agreement with the faith; or [b](I)service, in his serving; or he who (J)teaches, in his teaching; or he who (K)exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with [c](L)generosity; (M)he who [d]leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with (N)cheerfulness.

A Variety of Gifts in the Body of Christ

For by the grace given to me I say to everyone who is among you not to think more highly of yourself than what one ought to think, but to think sensibly[a], as God has apportioned a measure of faith to each one. For just as in one body we have many members, but all the members do not have the same function, in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually[b] members of one another, but having different gifts according to the grace given to us: if it is prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; if it is service, by service; if it is one who teaches, by teaching; if it is one who exhorts, by exhortation; one who gives, with sincerity; one who leads, with diligence; one who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
