One Who Shares

One Who Shares instead of One Who Gives is the spiritual gift in Romans 12:3. For I say, through the grace that has been given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think too highly of yourselves beyond which it is necessary to think, but to think to put a moderate estimate of yourself, in the same manner as God divided to each a measure of faith. 4. For just as we have many members in one body, but all the parts do not have the same function, 5. in this way, we, the many, are one body in Messiah, but each one part of one another. 6. And having different gifts according to the grace given to us, whether 1 Prophecy according to the proportion of his faith, 7. or 2 Ministry in his service, or the one who 3 Teaches in the teaching, 8. or the one who 4 Encourages in encouragement: the 5 One Who Shares, in sincerity without grudging, the 6 Protector or guardian giving aid in diligent eagerness, the one who is 7 Merciful in cheerfulness.
