Read in context

Romans 12:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.

6 We have different gifts according to the grace given us. If one’s gift is prophecy, 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 giving, let him give generously; if it is leading, let him lead with diligence; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

9 Love must be sincere. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good.
