For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.

For 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.

For just as we have many parts in one body and all the body's parts do not have the same function,

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another.

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

However, since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to use them properly: if prophecy, in proportion to one's faith;

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

if service, in the act of serving; or the one who teaches, in the act of teaching;

Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

or the one who exhorts, in the work of exhortation; the one who gives, with generosity; the one who is in leadership, with diligence; the one who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

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.
