Why G1352 he said, G3004 When he ascended G305 up on G5311 high, G5311 he led G162 captivity G161 captive, G162 and gave G1325 gifts G1390 to men. G444

He that descended G2597 is the same G846 also G2532 that ascended G305 up far G5231 above G5231 all G3956 heavens, G3772 that he might fill G4137 all G3956 things.)

For the perfecting G2677 of the saints, G40 for the work G2041 of the ministry, G1248 for the edifying G3619 of the body G4983 of Christ: G5547

That we from now on G3063 be no G3371 more G2001 children, G3516 tossed G2831 to and fro, G2831 and carried G4064 about G4064 with every G3956 wind G417 of doctrine, G1319 by the sleight G2940 of men, G444 and cunning craftiness, G3834 whereby G4314 they lie G3180 in wait G3180 to deceive; G4106

And to one G3739 G3303 he gave G1325 five G4002 talents, G5007 to another G3739 two, G1417 and to another G3739 one; G1520 to every G1538 man according G2596 to his several G2398 ability; G1411 and straightway G2112 took G589 his journey. G589

Having G2192 then G1161 gifts G5486 differing G1313 according G2596 to the grace G5485 that is given G1325 to us, whether G1535 prophecy, G4394 let us prophesy according G2596 to the proportion G356 of faith; G4102

Or G1535 he that exhorts, G3870 on G1722 exhortation: G3874 he that gives, G3330 let him do it with simplicity; G572 he that rules, G4291 with diligence; G4710 he that shows G1653 mercy, G1653 with cheerfulness. G2432

For to one G3739 G3303 is given G1325 by the Spirit G4151 the word G3056 of wisdom; G4678 to another G243 the word G3056 of knowledge G1108 by the same G846 Spirit; G4151

To another G243 the working G1755 of miracles; G1411 to another G243 prophecy; G4394 to another G243 discerning G1253 of spirits; G4151 to another G2087 divers kinds G1085 of tongues; G1100 to another G243 the interpretation G2058 of tongues: G1100

And God G2316 has set G5087 some G3588 G3303 in the church, G1577 first G4412 apostles, G652 secondarily G1208 prophets, G4396 thirdly G5154 teachers, G1320 after G1899 that miracles, G1411 then G1534 gifts G5486 of healings, G2386 helps, G484 governments, G2941 diversities G1085 of tongues. G1100

Have G2192 all G3956 the gifts G5486 of healing? G2386 do all G3956 speak G2980 with tongues? G1100 do all G3956 interpret? G1329

To me, who am less G1647 than the least G1647 of all G3956 saints, G40 is this G3778 grace G5485 given, G1325 that I should preach G2097 among G1722 the Gentiles G1484 the unsearchable G421 riches G4149 of Christ; G5547

We then, G3767 as workers G4903 together G4903 with him, beseech G3870 you also G2532 that you receive G1209 not the grace G5485 of God G2316 in vain. G2756

As every G1538 man has received G2983 the gift, G5486 even so minister G1247 the same G846 one G1438 to another, G1438 as good G2570 stewards G3623 of the manifold G4164 grace G5485 of God. G2316

If G1489 you have heard G191 of the dispensation G3622 of the grace G5485 of God G2316 which G3588 is given G1325 me to you-ward: G1519

For he whom G3739 God G2316 has sent G649 speaks G2980 the words G4487 of God: G2316 for God G2316 gives G1325 not the Spirit G4151 by measure G3358 to him.

For I say, G3004 through G1223 the grace G5485 given G1325 to me, to every G3956 man that is among G1722 you, not to think G5252 of himself more G3844 highly G5252 than he ought G1163 to think; G5426 but to think G5426 soberly, G1519 G4993 according as God G2316 has dealt G3307 to every G1538 man the measure G3358 of faith. G4102

But we will not boast G2744 of things without G280 our measure, G280 but according G2596 to the measure G3358 of the rule G2583 which G3739 God G2316 has distributed G3307 to us, a measure G3358 to reach G2185 even G2532 to you.

Not boasting G2744 of things without G280 our measure, G280 that is, of other G245 men's labors; G2873 but having G2192 hope, G1680 when your G5216 faith G4102 is increased, G837 that we shall be enlarged G3170 by you according G2596 to our rule G2583 abundantly, G1519
