Context: Romans 12
3For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
5So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

About Romans 12: The Marks of a True Christian
Paul teaches about the importance of living a life that is dedicated to God, and about the importance of loving others as yourself.
Commentary
Romans 12 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the importance of living a life of service and humility. Paul begins by calling on believers to offer their bodies as living sacrifices to God, a concept that is echoed throughout the New Testament. He then goes on to explain that each person has a unique role to play in the body of Christ, and that no one should think too highly of themselves. He encourages believers to use their gifts and talents to serve one another in love, and to be devoted to one another in brotherly affection.
