4. For as we have many
members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5.
So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of
another. 6. Having then fits differing according to the grace
that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the
proportion of faith; 7. Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering:
or he that teacheth, on teaching; 8. Or he that exhorteth, on
exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth,
with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

4. For just as we have many members in one body, but all the parts
do not have the same function, 5. in this way, we, the many, are one body in
Messiah, but each one part of one another. 6. And having different gifts
according to the grace given to us, whether prophecy according to the
proportion of his faith, 7. or ministry in his service, or the one who
teaches in the teaching, 8. or the one who encourages in encouragement: the
one who shares, in sincerity without grudging, the protector or guardian
giving aid in diligent eagerness, the one who is merciful in cheerfulness.

4. Just as each of us has
has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same
function, 5. so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each
members belongs to all the others. 6. We have different gifts,
according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let
him use it in proportion to his faith. 7. If it is serving,
let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8. if it is
encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs
of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern
diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
