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.

For (D)just as we have many parts in one body and all [a]the body’s parts do not have the same function, so we, (E)who are many, are (F)one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another. 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; if [c](I)service, in the act of serving; or the one who (J)teaches, in the act of teaching; 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.
