Romans 12:3 Douay-Rheims

For I say, by the grace that is given me, to all that are among you, not to be more wise than it behoveth to be wise, but to be wise unto sobriety, and according as God hath divided to every one the measure of faith.

Francis Patrick Kenrick

1796–1863 Catholic

Because the distribution of gifts had led many among them and among the Corinthians, to indulge in arrogance, observe how he lays open the cause of the disease, and insensibly removes it ; for, in saying that it behooveth to think with soberness, he added, according as God hath divided to each one the measure of faith, he here styles faith a gift." St. Chrysostom.
