Using Our Unique Gifts

Romans 12:3-8 New International Version

Humble Service in the Body of Christ

³ For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. 
⁴ For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,
 ⁵ so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 
⁶ We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your^[a] faith; 
⁷ if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 
⁸ if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead,^[b] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
