4. For as in one body we have many parts, and all the parts do not have the same function,
5. so we, though many, are one body in Christ and individually parts of one another.
6. Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us exercise them: if prophecy, in proportion to the faith;
7. if ministry, in ministering; if one is a teacher, in teaching;
8. if one exhorts, in exhortation; if one contributes, in generosity; if one is over others, with diligence; if one does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
9. Let love be sincere; hate what is evil, hold on to what is good;
10. love one another with mutual affection; anticipate one another in showing honor.
11. Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.
12. Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer.
13. Contribute to the needs of the holy ones, exercise hospitality.
