body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we

many.

For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more
highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound
judgement, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. For just as we have
many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so
we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to
exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportionof his faith; if
service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; or he who exhorts, in his
exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads; with diligence; he who
shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
