Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.

I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. … Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

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 just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. … so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
