ROMANS 12:3-4
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,
Met een beroep op de genade die mij geschonken is, zeg ik u allen dat u zichzelf niet hoger moet aanslaan dan u kunt verantwoorden, maar verstandig over uzelf moet denken. Denk overeenkomstig het geloof, dat is de maatstaf die God u heeft gegeven. Zoals ons ene lichaam vele delen heeft en die delen niet allemaal dezelfde functie hebben, zo zijn we samen één lichaam in Christus en zijn we, ieder apart, elkaars lichaamsdelen.
ROMEINEN 12:3-4
ROMANS 12:5-8
so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
We hebben verschillende gaven, onderscheiden naar de genade die ons geschonken is. Wie de gave heeft te profeteren, moet die in overeenstemming met het geloof gebruiken. Wie de gave heeft bijstand te verlenen, moet bijstand verlenen. Wie de gave heeft te onderwijzen, moet onderwijzen. Wie de gave heeft te troosten, moet troosten. Wie iets weggeeft, moet dat zonder bijbedoeling doen. Wie leiding geeft, moet dat doen met volle inzet. Wie barmhartig voor een ander is, moet daarin blijmoedig zijn.
ROMEINEN 12:5-8

ACTS 2:42-47
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Ze wijdden zich trouw aan het onderricht dat de apostelen gaven, aan de onderlinge gemeenschap, het breken van het brood en het gebed. Het leven van de eerste gemeente De vele tekenen en wonderen die de apostelen verrichtten, vervulden iedereen met ontzag. Allen die tot geloof gekomen waren, bleven bijeen en hadden alles gemeenschappelijk. Ze verkochten hun eigendommen en bezittingen en verdeelden de opbrengst onder degenen die iets nodig hadden. Elke dag kwamen ze trouw en eensgezind samen in de tempel, braken het brood bij elkaar thuis en gebruikten hun maaltijden in een geest van eenvoud en vol vreugde. Ze loofden God en stonden in de gunst bij het hele volk. De Heer breidde hun aantal dagelijks uit; steeds meer mensen werden gered.
