⁴ For ^(A)just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, ⁵ so we, ^(B)who are many, are ^(C)one body in Christ, and individually members one of another, ⁶ but having gifts that ^(D)differ according to the grace given to us: whether ^(E)prophecy, ^[a]in agreement with the faith; ⁷ or ^[b](F)service, in his serving; or he who ^(G)teaches, in his teaching; ⁸ or he who ^(H)exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with ^[c](I)generosity; ^(J)he who ^[d]leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with ^(K)cheerfulness.

⁹ Let ^(L)love be without hypocrisy—by ^(M)abhorring what is evil, clinging to what is good, ¹⁰ being ^(N)devoted to one another in brotherly love, ^[e]giving preference to one another ^(O)in honor, ¹¹ not lagging behind in diligence, being ^(P)fervent in spirit, ^(Q)serving the Lord, ^12 (R)rejoicing in hope, ^(S)persevering in affliction, being ^(T)devoted to prayer, ^13 (U)contributing to the needs of the ^[f]saints, ^(V)pursuing hospitality.

^14 (W)Bless those who persecute ^[g]you; bless, and do not curse. ^15 (X)Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep, ¹⁶ by ^(Y)being of the same mind toward one another, ^(Z)not being haughty in mind, but ^[h]associating with the humble. ^(AA)Do not be wise in your own mind. ^17 (AB)Never paying back evil for evil to anyone, ^[i](AC)respecting what is good in the sight of all men, ¹⁸ if possible, ^(AD)so far as it depends on you, ^(AE)being at peace with all men, ^19 (AF)never taking your own revenge, beloved—instead ^[j]leave room for the wrath of God. For it is written, “^(AG)Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. ²⁰ “^(AH)But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” ²¹ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

¹⁹ and not holding fast to ^(A)the head, from whom ^(B)the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ^[a]ligaments, grows with a growth ^[b]that is from God.
