But now God has aplaced the members, each one of them, in the body, bjust as He desired.

Be adevoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another bin honor;not lagging behind in diligence, afervent in spirit, bserving the Lord;arejoicing in hope, bpersevering in tribulation, cdevoted to prayer,acontributing to the needs of the saints, bpracticing hospitality.aBless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.aRejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.aBe of the same mind toward one another; bdo not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. cDo not be wise in your own estimation.Therefore aI urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to bpresent your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.And do not abe conformed to bthis world, but be transformed by the crenewing of your mind, so that you may dprove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.For through athe grace given to me I say to everyone among you bnot to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to ceach a measure of faith.For ajust as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function,so we, awho are many, are bone body in Christ, and individually members one of another.Since we have gifts that adiffer according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if bprophecy, according to the proportion of his faith;if aservice, in his serving; or he who bteaches, in his teaching;or he who aexhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with bliberality; che who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with dcheerfulness.Let alove be without hypocrisy. bAbhor what is evil; cling to what is good.

Amen.aBe hospitable to one another without bcomplaint.

highlighted 2 Corinthians 5:14-21 NASB

For the love of Christ acontrols us, having concluded this, that bone died for all, therefore all died;and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer alive for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.Therefore from now on we recognize no one aaccording to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.Therefore if anyone is ain Christ, he is ba new creature; cthe old things passed away; behold, new things have come.Now aall these things are from God, bwho reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the cministry of reconciliation,namely, that aGod was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, bnot counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.Therefore, we are aambassadors for Christ, bas though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be creconciled to God.He made Him who aknew no sin to be bsin on our behalf, so that we might become the crighteousness of God in Him.

highlighted 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 NASB

For the word of the cross is afoolishness to bthose who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is cthe power of God.For it is written, "aI WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE."aWhere is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of bthis age? Has not God cmade foolish the wisdom of dthe world?For since in the wisdom of God athe world through its wisdom did not come to know God, bGod was well-pleased through the cfoolishness of the message preached to dsave those who believe.For indeed aJews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom;but we preach aChrist crucified, bto Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles cfoolishness,but to those who are athe called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ bthe power of God and cthe wisdom of God.Because the afoolishness of God is wiser than men, and bthe weakness of God is stronger than men.

highlighted 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 ESV

For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited.Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me.But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
