2 Corinthians 10:15 We are not boasting beyond our measure in others’ labors, but have the hope, as your faith is increasing, to be magnified in you according to our rule unto abundance. (Holy Bible, Recovery Version)
As members of the Body, we must allow ourselves to be limited by the other members, not going beyond our measure.
God has placed all the members in the Body, even as He willed (1 Corinthians 12:18). A basic requirement for the growth and development of the Body is that we recognize our measure and do not go beyond it (Ephesians 4:7, 16). Like Paul, we should move and act according to how much God has measured to us in the Body of Christ, staying within the limits of God’s ruling, God’s measuring (2 Corinthians 10:13-15; Ephesians 4:16; 2 Timothy 4:5).
