For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith.

But I write the more boldly unto you in some measure, as putting you again in remembrance, because of the grace that was given me of God,

For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace.

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;
