For I say through the grace that was given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,
5
WEB
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,
6
WEB
having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
7
WEB
or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;
8
WEB
or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,
11
WEB
not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,
12
WEB
rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,
13
WEB
contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.

Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.

If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
19

Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”
20
WEB
Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
