18 Romans 12:1-2 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

19 Romans 12:3-5 4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.

20 Romans 12:6-8 6Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; 7or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; 8he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

21 1 Corinthians 12 1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:

22 1 Corinthians 12 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,

23 1 Corinthians to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

24 Other Passages: 1 Corinthians 7:7 Each man "has his own gift from God. 1 Corinthians 12:1-27 Examples of spiritual gifts Paul likens the church to a body Ephesians 4:11-16 The leadership of the church is set in place, not to do the ministry, but to equip and train believers for the work of the ministry.
