Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace:

God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.

Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve others, as good stewards of the varied grace of God.

As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the multifaceted grace of God.

As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;

Based on the gift each one has received, use it to serve others, as good managers of the varied grace of God.

As every man hath received the gift,[ even so] minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of the varied grace of God.

As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.

We all have gifts. They differ according to the grace God has given to each of us. Do you have the gift of prophecy? Then use it according to the faith you have.If your gift is serving, then serve. If it is teaching, then teach.Is it encouraging others? Then encourage them. Is it giving to others? Then give freely. Is it being a leader? Then work hard at it. Is it showing mercy? Then do it cheerfully.

There are different kinds of gifts. But they are all given to believers by the same Spirit.There are different ways to serve. But they all come from the same Lord.There are different ways the Spirit works. But the same God is working in all these ways and in all people.The Holy Spirit is given to each of us in a special way. That is for the good of all.To some people the Spirit gives a message of wisdom. To others the same Spirit gives a message of knowledge.To others the same Spirit gives faith. To others that one Spirit gives gifts of healing.To others he gives the power to do miracles. To others he gives the ability to prophesy. To others he gives the ability to tell the spirits apart. To others he gives the ability to speak in different kinds of languages they had not known before. And to still others he gives the ability to explain what was said in those languages.All the gifts are produced by one and the same Spirit. He gives gifts to each person, just as he decides.

So here is how you should think of us. We serve Christ. We are trusted with the mysteries God has shown us.Those who have been given a trust must prove that they are faithful.

But because of God’s grace I am what I am. And his grace was not wasted on me. No, I have worked harder than all the other apostles. But I didn’t do the work. God’s grace was with me.

God has given me the grace to lay a foundation as a wise builder. Now someone else is building on it. But each one should build carefully.

Even the Son of Man did not come to be served. Instead, he came to serve others. He came to give his life as the price for setting many people free.”

The Lord answered,“ Suppose a master puts one of his servants in charge of his other servants. The servant’s job is to give them the food they are to receive at the right time. The master wants a faithful and wise manager for this.

God is fair. He will not forget what you have done. He will remember the love you have shown him. You showed it when you helped his people. And you show it when you keep on helping them.

I am by far the least important of all the Lord’s holy people. But he gave me the grace to preach to the Gentiles about the unlimited riches that Christ gives.

So he sent for ten of his slaves. He gave them each about three months’ pay.‘ Put this money to work until I come back,’ he said.

They were happy to do it. And of course they owe it to them. The Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings. So the Gentiles should share their earthly blessings with the Jews.

Who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you brag as though you did not?

A church leader takes care of God’s family. That’s why he must be without blame. He must not look after only his own interests. He must not get angry easily. He must not get drunk. He must not push people around. He must not try to get money by cheating people.

“ Again, here is what the kingdom of heaven will be like. A man was going on a journey. He sent for his slaves and put them in charge of his money.He gave five bags of gold to one. He gave two bags to another. And he gave one bag to the third. The man gave each slave the amount of money he knew the slave could take care of. Then he went on his journey.

Jesus told his disciples another story. He said,“ There was a rich man who had a manager. Some said that the manager was wasting what the rich man owned.So the rich man told him to come in. He asked him,‘ What is this I hear about you? Tell me exactly how you have handled what I own. You can’t be my manager any longer.’“ The manager said to himself,‘ What will I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig. And I’m too ashamed to beg.I know what I’m going to do. I’ll do something so that when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’“ So he called in each person who owed his master something. He asked the first one,‘ How much do you owe my master?’“‘ I owe 900 gallons of olive oil,’ he replied.“ The manager told him,‘ Take your bill. Sit down quickly and change it to 450 gallons.’“ Then he asked the second one,‘ And how much do you owe?’“‘ I owe 1,000 bushels of wheat,’ he replied.“ The manager told him,‘ Take your bill and change it to 800 bushels.’“ The manager had not been honest. But the master praised him for being clever. The people of this world are clever in dealing with those who are like themselves. They are more clever than God’s people.

“ Suppose a master puts one of his slaves in charge of the other slaves in his house. The slave’s job is to give them their food at the right time. The master wants a faithful and wise slave for this.

Another was Joanna, the wife of Chuza. He was the manager of Herod’s household. Susanna and many others were there also. These women were helping to support Jesus and the 12 disciples with their own money.

“ They also will answer,‘ Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty and not help you? When did we see you as a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison and not help you?’

Be like the Son of Man. He did not come to be served. Instead, he came to serve others. He came to give his life as the price for setting many people free.”

So Christ himself gave the gift of the apostles to the church. He gave the prophets and those who preach the good news. And he also gave the pastors and teachers as a gift to the church.

May Onesiphorus find mercy from the Lord on the day Jesus returns as judge! You know very well how many ways Onesiphorus helped me in Ephesus.

Now I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the Lord’s people there.

We work together with God. So we are asking you not to receive God’s grace and then do nothing with it.

This good news of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world. It will be a witness to all nations. Then the end will come.

I don’t need to write to you about giving to the Lord’s people.

There will be terrible suffering in those days. It will be worse than any other from the beginning of the world until now. And there will never be anything like it again.
