Humble Service in the Body of Christ
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.
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.
For I say, through the grace which has been given to me, to every one that is among you, not to have high thoughts above what he should think; but to think so as to be wise, as God has dealt to each a measure of faith.
For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,
For, as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office;
so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
thus we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and each one members one of the other.
But having different gifts, according to the grace which has been given to us, whether [it be] prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith;
if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;
or service, [let us occupy ourselves] in service; or he that teaches, in teaching;
or he that exhorts, in exhortation; he that gives, in simplicity; he that leads, with diligence; he that shews mercy, with cheerfulness.

Have the same respect one for another, not minding high things, but going along with the lowly: be not wise in your own eyes:
Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.
recompensing to no one evil for evil: providing things honest before all men:
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
if possible, as far as depends on you, living in peace with all men;
not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance [belongs] to me, *I* will recompense, saith the Lord.
If therefore thine enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him drink; for, so doing, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.
