¹⁷ if not, as God did distribute to each, as the Lord hath called each -- so let him walk; and thus in all the assemblies do I direct:

²⁸ apart from the things without -- the crowding upon me that is daily -- the care of all the assemblies.

¹⁷ because of this I sent to you Timotheus, who is my child, beloved and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways in Christ, according as everywhere in every assembly I teach.

¹⁸ and we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the good news `is' through all the assemblies,

³ For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,

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

⁵ so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another.

⁶ And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy -- `According to the proportion of faith!'

⁷ or ministration -- `In the ministration!' or he who is teaching -- `In the teaching!'

⁸ or he who is exhorting -- `In the exhortation!' he who is sharing -- `In simplicity!' he who is leading -- `In diligence?' he who is doing kindness -- `In cheerfulness.'

¹⁰ each, according as he received a gift, to one another ministering it, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;

¹¹ if any one doth speak -- `as oracles of God;' if any one doth minister -- `as of the ability which God doth supply;' that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power -- to the ages of the ages. Amen.

¹ And concerning the collection that `is' for the saints, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also ye -- do ye;

³³ for God is not `a God' of tumult, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

²⁴ each, in that in which he was called, brethren, in this let him remain with God.

²⁰ Each in the calling in which he was called -- in this let him remain;

²¹ a servant -- wast thou called? be not anxious; but if also thou art able to become free -- use `it' rather;

¹⁸ being circumcised -- was any one called? let him not become uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was any one called? let him not be circumcised;

⁷ for I wish all men to be even as I myself `am'; but each his own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and one thus.

¹² for there are eunuchs who from the mother's womb were so born; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who kept themselves eunuchs because of the reign of the heavens: he who is able to receive `it' -- let him receive.'
