For by the grace [of God] given to me I say to everyone of you not to think more highly of himself [and of his importance and ability] than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has apportioned to each a degree of faith [and a purpose designed for service].
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
I’m speaking to you out of deep gratitude for all that God has given me, and especially as I have responsibilities in relation to you. Living then, as every one of you does, in pure grace, it’s important that you not misinterpret yourselves as people who are bringing this goodness to God. No, God brings it all to you. The only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what he does for us, not by what we are and what we do for him. 4-6 In this way we are like the various parts of a human body. Each part gets its meaning from the body as a whole, not the other way around. The body we’re talking about is Christ’s body of chosen people. Each of us finds our meaning and function as a part of his body. But as a chopped-off finger or cut-off toe we wouldn’t amount to much, would we? So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ’s body, let’s just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren’t. 6-8 If you preach, just preach God’s Message, nothing else; if you help, just help, don’t take over; if you teach, stick to your teaching; if you give encouraging guidance, be careful that you don’t get bossy; if you’re put in charge, don’t manipulate; if you’re called to give aid to people in distress, keep your eyes open and be quick to respond; if you work with the disadvantaged, don’t let yourself get irritated with them or depressed by them. Keep a smile on your face. 9-10 Love from the center of who you are; don’t fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle. 11-13 Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don’t quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality. 14-16 Bless your enemies; no cursing under your breath. Laugh with your happy friends when they’re happy; share tears when they’re down. Get along with each other; don’t be stuck-up. Make friends with nobodies; don’t be the great somebody. 17-19 Don’t hit back; discover beauty in everyone. If you’ve got it in you, get along with everybody. Don’t insist on getting even; that’s not for you to do. “I’ll do the judging,” says God. “I’ll take care of it.” 20-21 Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he’s thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don’t let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good.
For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.
Puesto que Dios me ha confiado la comunicación de su mensaje, quiero aconsejaros que ninguno entre vosotros tenga de sí mismo más alto concepto del que debe tener, sino que se valore sensatamente, de acuerdo con el grado de fe que Dios le haya dado.
God’s grace has been given to me. So here is what I say to every one of you. Don’t think of yourself more highly than you should. Be reasonable when you think about yourself. Keep in mind the faith God has given to each of you.
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
Because of the privilege and authority[c] God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.[d]

فَإِنِّي، بِالنِّعْمَةِ الْمَوْهُوبَةِ لِي، أُوْصِي كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ بَيْنَكُمْ أَلّا يُقَدِّرَ نَفْسَهُ تَقْدِيراً يَفُوقُ حَقَّهُ، بَلْ أَنْ يَكُونَ مُتَعَقِّلاً فِي تَفْكِيرِهِ، بِحَسَبِ مِقْدَارِ الإِيمَانِ الَّذِي قَسَمَهُ اللهُ لِكُلٍّ مِنْكُمْ.

Ingon nga apostol, nga mao ang grasya nga gihatag sa Dios kanako, sultihan ko kamong tanan nga dili kamo angay maghunahuna ug labaw kay sa tinuod ninyong kahimtang, kondili hunahunaon ninyo pag-ayo kon unsa ang inyong mga katakos sumala sa pagtuo nga gihatag sa Dios kaninyo.

På grundlag af den nåde, som Gud har givet mig til at tjene ham, siger jeg til enhver af jer: Hav ikke højere tanker om jer selv, end hvad der er rimeligt, men bedøm jer selv ud fra, hvor stor en tro Gud har givet hver enkelt af jer.
German
In der Vollmacht,[a] die mir Gott als Apostel gegeben hat, ermahne ich euch: Überschätzt euch nicht, sondern bleibt ehrlich und bescheiden im Urteil über euch selbst. Keiner von euch soll sich etwas anmaßen, was über die Kraft des Glaubens hinausgeht, die Gott ihm geschenkt hat.
Spanish

En vertu de la grâce que Dieu m’a faite, voici ce que je dis à chacun d’entre vous : n’allez pas au-delà de ce à quoi vous devez prétendre, tendez au contraire à une sage appréciation de vous-mêmes, chacun selon la part que Dieu lui a confiée[b].

Japanese
私は使徒として、あなたがた一人一人に警告します。自分を過大に評価してはいけません。神から与えられている信仰に応じて、慎み深くありなさい。 4-5 人の体には多くの器官があるのと同じように、キリストの体である教会にも、多くの器官があります。私たちはみな、キリストの体の各器官です。その体が形造られるには、私たちが必要です。というのは、それぞれが異なった役割を果たすからです。ですから、私たちは互いに依存し合っており、だれもがほかのすべての人を必要としているのです。

Med stor kraft i oppdraget som Gud i sin godhet har gitt meg, vil jeg advare dere mot å ha for høye tanker om dere selv. Bruk litt sunn selvkritikk når dere vurderte deres egen verdi. Tenk på at verdien ligger i hvor mye tro dere har, og troen har dere fått fra Gud.
