12.3 Dico enim. Hoc est sacrificium Christianorum, ut multi unum corpus sint in Christo. Hoc enim in Sacramento altaris fidelibus voto demonstratur Ecclesiæ, quæ in ea re quam offert, significatur. Sicut enim panis ex multis granis conficitur, ita ex multis fidelium membris sancta constat Ecclesia, qui Creatoris sui participatione congaudent; cujus munere sancti sunt et unum, quod et in sequenti ostenditur, ubi ait: Multi unum corpus sumus in Christo I Cor. 10.. Quod non potest fieri, nisi sapiant ad sobrietatem, quod hic præcipitur. Sapere ad sobrietatem. Id est, quod, justitiæ terminos non egrediatur quod nobis solum utile sit, et nulli obsit. Mensuram fidei. Secundum fidem quam mensurate partitur Deus, hæc est fides per charitatem operans sine qua nulla cujusquam existimanda sunt opera. Christo non ad mensuram datus est spiritus, sed cæteris omnibus datur et datus additur; unde Joannes de Christo ait: Non enim ad mensuram dat Deus Spiritum, cæteris dividitur, non quidem Spiritus, sed dona ejus.

12:3 by the faith God has given us: Or by the faith God has given you; or by the standard of our God-given faith. Whether Paul is referring to the amount of faith each of us has been given or to the Christian faith that we all hold in common, we need to assess ourselves accurately by this measure and not be vain about the abilities God has given us.
