Romans 12:3-8 - A Variety Of Gifts In The Body Of Christ

³ In fulfillment of the charge with which I have been entrusted, I bid every one of you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think, but to think till he learns to think soberly--in accordance with the measure of faith that God has allotted to each. ⁴ For, just as in the human body there is a union of many parts, and each part has its own function, ⁵ So we, by our union in Christ, many though we are, form but one body, and individually we are related one to another as its parts. ⁶ Since our gifts differ in accordance with the particular charge entrusted to us, if our gift is to preach, let our preaching correspond to our faith; ⁷ If it is to minister to others, let us devote ourselves to our ministry; the teacher to his teaching, ⁸ The speaker to his exhortation. Let the man who gives in charity do so with a generous heart; let him who is in authority exercise due diligence; let him who shows kindness do so in a cheerful spirit.
