Bible Note: Robert, A measure of faith given to everyone is reason not to become conceited, is that correct? I think you might be right, but I'm still wrestling with it. I'm wondering if the 'measure of faith' is connected to having 'sound judgment.' Therefore, the Gentiles should not become arrogant toward others, because God in his wisdom saw fit to make Himself known to all. If the measure of faith refers to the gifts, then it isn't true that "God allotted to each" because Paul wanted to come to Rome that he might "impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established" (Romans 1:11). I guess the meaning turns on whether he means "each" as in all people, or "each" as in all who have a spiritual gift. Let me stop here. I'm not sure which way to go and I need to think more on it. If you have some thoughts on what I've written, feel free. Good day. |
