Romans 12:6-14

6We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your Or the faith; 7if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;

8if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, Or to provide for others do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

Love in Action 9Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

13Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. 14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
