God's Gift ​- the love of Jesus Christ
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:
To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; ..
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
