¹⁷ Only, as the Lord hath distributed to each man, as God hath called each, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all the churches.

²⁸ Besides those things that are without, there is that which presseth upon me daily, anxiety for all the churches.

¹⁷ For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every church.

¹⁸ And we have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the gospel `is spread' through all the churches;

³ 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.

⁴ For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office:

⁵ so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another.

⁶ And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, `let us prophesy' according to the proportion of our faith;

⁷ or ministry, `let us give ourselves' to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching;

⁸ or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting: he that giveth, `let him do it' with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.

¹⁰ according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;

¹¹ if any man speaketh, `speaking' as it were oracles of God; is any man ministereth, `ministering' as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

¹ Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.

³³ for God is not `a God' of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,

²⁴ Brethren, let each man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God.

²⁰ Let each man abide in that calling wherein he was called.

²¹ Wast thou called being a bondservant? Care not for it: nay, even if thou canst become free, use `it' rather.

¹⁸ Was any man called being circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Hath any been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.

⁷ Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.

¹² For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
