Romans 12:3-8 (ESV Strong's)
3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
The gifts of faith and grace are given to all children of God. The measure of faith and grace given differs from child to child. These are the components needed for the body of Christ. There is no need to compare ourselves to others because we are all in Christ. He is the incomparable one who has and will judge us in all righteousness. Through His grace, we will be like Him.
