Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,

Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.

For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:

And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

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

Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:

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

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

As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
