Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,

That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)

And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.

Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.

But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
