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.

Humble Service in the Body of Christ

For by the grace given me(A) I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,(B) so in Christ we, though many, form one body,(C) and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts,(D) according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying,(E) then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith;(F) if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;(G) if it is to encourage, then give encouragement;(H) if it is giving, then give generously;(I) if it is to lead,[b] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
