³ For I am saying, through the grace which is given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to be overweening, beyond what your disposition must be, but to be of a sane disposition, as God parts to each the measure of faith." ⁴ For even as, in one body, we have many members, yet all the members have not the same function, ⁵ thus we, who are many, are one body in Christ, yet individually members of one another." ⁶ Now, having graces excelling, in accord with the grace which is given to us, whether prophecy, exercise it in accord with the analogy of the faith;" ⁷ or dispensing, in the dispensation; or the teacher, in teaching;" ⁸ or the entreater, in entreaty; the sharer, with generosity; the presider, with diligence; the merciful one, with glee."
