CHALLENGE QUESTION

I Corinthians 12:1 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed

“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. 4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us…if your gift is(vs. 6b-8)
