Just as each of us has one body with many
members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ
we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to the others.
We have been given different gifts, according to the grace given to us.
If a man's gift is prophesying [prophecy],
let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving
[serving], let him serve; if it is
teaching [teaching], let him teach; if
it is encouraging [exhortation], let him
encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others
[giving], let him give generously; if it
is leadership [leadership], let him
govern diligently; if it is showing mercy
[compassion], let him do it cheerfully.
