Scripture
6 Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us exercise them: if prophecy, in proportion to the faith [ἀναλογίαν τῆς πίστεως];
7 if ministry, in ministering; if one is a teacher, in teaching;
8 if one exhorts, in exhortation; if one contributes, in generosity; if one is over others, with diligence; if one does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
14 But may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
15 For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision, but only a new creation.
16 Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule and to the Israel of God.

- Let our "seeking," therefore be in that which is our own, and from those who are our own, and concerning that which is our own, - that, and only that, which can become an object of inquiry without impairing the rule of faith.[2]
