For through the grace given to me I warn every one among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, according to the measure of faith which God hath imparted to each.

But I have written to you, brethren, in a manner somewhat bold on some subjects, as putting you in mind, on account of the grace given me by God

For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace.

But by the grace of God I am what I am; and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in 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 able of ourselves to think anything, as from ourselves; but our ability is from God;

For his name

Simeon hath related how God first visited the gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved;
