3. I realize how kind God has been to me, and so I tell each of you not to think you are better than you really are. Use good sense and measure yourself by the amount of faith that God has given you.
4. A body is made up of many parts, and each of them has its own use.
5. That's how it is with us. There are many of us, but we are each part of the body of Christ, as well as part of one another.
6. God has also given each of us different gifts to use. If we can prophesy, we should do it according to the amount of faith we have.
7. If we can serve others, we should serve. If we can teach, we should teach.
8. If we can encourage others, we should encourage them. If we can give, we should be generous. If we are leaders, we should do our best. If we are good to others, we should do it cheerfully.
9. Be sincere in your love for others. Hate everything that is evil and hold tight to everything that is good.
10. Love each other as brothers and sisters and honour others more than you do yourself.
11. Never give up. Eagerly follow the Holy Spirit and serve the Lord.
12. Let your hope make you glad. Be patient in time of trouble and never stop praying.
13. Take care of God's needy people and welcome strangers into your home.
14. Ask God to bless everyone who ill-treats you. Ask him to bless them and not to curse them.
