Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.(1 Corinthians 12:1)

Spirits?

Gifts?

Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. (Romans 12:4-6a)

If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has arranged the parts of the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but

one body. (1 Corinthians 12:17-20)

Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourselfwith sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.(Romans 12:3)
