Romans 12:3-8
Legacy Standard Bible
3 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. 4 For (D)just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, (E)who are many, are (F)one body in Christ, and individually members one of another, 6 but having gifts that (G)differ according to the grace given to us: whether (H)prophecy, [a]in agreement with the faith; 7 or [b](I)service, in his serving; or he who (J)teaches, in his teaching; 8 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.

Romans 12:3-8
Lexham English Bible
A Variety of Gifts in the Body of Christ
3 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. 4 For just as in one body we have many members, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually[b] members of one another, 6 but having different gifts according to the grace given to us: if it is prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; 7 if it is service, by service; if it is one who teaches, by teaching; 8 if it is one who exhorts, by exhortation; one who gives, with sincerity; one who leads, with diligence; one who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
