3But I say to every one of you, through the grace given to me, not to have an over-high opinion of himself, but to have wise thoughts, as God has given to every one a measure of faith.
4For, as we have a number of parts in one body, but all the parts have not the same use,
5So we, though we are a number of persons, are one body in Christ, and are dependent on one another;
6And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith;
7Or the position of a Deacon of the church, let a man give himself to it; or he who has the power of teaching, let him make use of it;
8He who has the power of comforting, let him do so; he who gives, let him give freely; he who has the power of ruling, let him do it with a serious mind; he who has mercy on others, let it be with joy.
9Let love be without deceit. Be haters of what is evil; keep your minds fixed on what is good.
