10Just as each of you has received grace, minister in the same way to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

17Every excellent gift and every perfect gift is from above, descending from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor any shadow of alteration.

8For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God. 9And this is not of works, so that no one may glory.

3For I say, through the grace that has been given to me, to all who are among you: Taste no more than it is necessary to taste, but taste unto sobriety and just as God has distributed a share of the faith to each one. 4For just as, within one body, we have many parts, though all the parts do not have the same role, 5so also we, being many, are one body in Christ, and each one is a part, the one of the other. 6And we each have different gifts, according to the grace that has been given to us: whether prophecy, in agreement with the reasonableness of faith; 7or ministry, in ministering; or he who teaches, in doctrine; 8he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, in simplicity; he who governs, in solicitude; he who shows mercy, in cheerfulness.

17Let everything whatsoever that you do, whether in word or in deed, be done all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

38Yet truly, Peter said to them: “Do penance; and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

1Now concerning spiritual things, I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers. 2You know that when you were Gentiles, you approached mute idols, doing what you were led to do. 3Because of this, I would have you know that no one speaking in the Spirit of God utters a curse against Jesus. And no one is able to say that Jesus is Lord, except in the Holy Spirit. 4Truly, there are diverse graces, but the same Spirit. 5And there are diverse ministries, but the same Lord. 6And there are diverse works, but the same God, who works everything in everyone.
