Unto

For it says:

When He ascended

on high,

He took prisoners into captivity;

He gave gifts to people.

To one he gave five talents; to another, two; and to another, one—to each according to his own ability. Then he went on a journey. Immediately

According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts:

If prophecy,
use it according to the standard of one’s faith;

to one is given a message of wisdom
through the Spirit,
to another, a message of knowledge
by the same Spirit,

Grace

This grace was given to me—the least of all the saints—to proclaim to the Gentiles the incalculable riches of the Messiah,

Working together with Him, we also appeal to you, “Don’t receive God’s grace in vain.”

Based on the gift each one has received, use it to serve others, as good managers of the varied grace of God.

The measure

you have heard, haven’t you, about the administration of God’s grace that He gave to me for you?

For God sent Him, and He speaks God’s words, since He gives the Spirit without measure.

For by the grace given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think. Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith to each one.

We, however, will not boast beyond measure but according to the measure of the area of ministry that God has assigned to us, which reaches even to you.
