4 Each of us has one body with many parts. And the parts do not all have the same purpose.
5 So also we are many persons. But in Christ we are one body. And each part of the body belongs to all the other parts.
6 We all have gifts. They differ in keeping with the grace that God has given each of us. Do you have the gift of prophecy? Then use it in keeping with the faith you have.
7 Is it your gift to serve? Then serve. Is it teaching? Then teach.
8 Is it telling others how they should live? Then tell them. Is it giving to those who are in need? Then give freely. Is it being a leader? Then work hard at it. Is it showing mercy? Then do it cheerfully.
9 Love must be honest and true. Hate what is evil. Hold on to what is good.
10 Love each other deeply. Honor others more than yourselves.
