Roma 12:3-6

Conduct in Humility

12:3 For by the grace given to me I say to every one of you not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think, but to think with sober discernment, as God has distributed to each of you ¹  a measure of faith. ²  12:4 For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members serve the same function, 12:5 so we who are many are one body in Christ, and individually we are members who belong to one another. 12:6 And we have different gifts ³  according to the grace given to us. If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith.

[12:3]  ¹ tn The words “of you” have been supplied for clarity.

[12:3]  ² tn Or “to each as God has distributed a measure of faith.”

[12:6]  ³ tn This word comes from the same root as “grace” in the following clause; it means “things graciously given,” “grace-gifts.”
