Romans 12:8 in Context — Romans 12

6 Puisque nous avons des dons différents, selon la grâce qui nous a été accordée, que celui qui a le don de prophétie l’exerce selon l’analogie de la foi;

7 que celui qui est appelé au ministère s’attache à son ministère; que celui qui enseigne s’attache à son enseignement,

8 et celui qui exhorte à l’exhortation. Que celui qui donne le fasse avec libéralité; que celui qui préside le fasse avec zèle; que celui qui pratique la miséricorde le fasse avec joie.

9 Que la charité soit sans hypocrisie. Ayez le mal en horreur; attachez-vous fortement au bien.

10 Par amour fraternel, soyez pleins d’affection les uns pour les autres; par honneur, usez de prévenances réciproques.
