But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.
To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.
For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.
Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ,
God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.
