have gifts that differ according to the grace
given to us, let each exercise them accordingly
if prophecy, according to the proportion of his
faith Rom. 125-6

If service, in his serving or he who teaches,
in his teaching or he who exhorts, in his
exhortation he who gives, with liberality he

in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing
to the needs of the saints, practicing
hospitality. Rom.
