‘Now to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.'

Having stressed the oneness Paul now stresses the individuality. ‘To each one of us.' Every Christian has his part to play in the ministry of the church. It is a ‘gathering' of living people acting in unity not a conglomerate mass. And each is given by grace some gracious gift to contribute towards the whole (1 Corinthians 12:28). This is measured out to us by Christ Himself. ‘The grace of God' which was given to Paul was to be Apostle to the Gentiles (Ephesians 3:2).
