People's Commentary (NT)
Romans 12:3
Through the grace given to me. The grace to him, specially, was
that of apostleship. See Romans 1:5 15:15 1Co 3:10.
Not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think. A
much needed exhortation. To be puffed up in one's own conceits is the
end of progress. It is the "humble" who are exalted (Matthew 23:2); those
that "hunger" are filled (Matthew 5:6 Lu 6:21).
Think soberly. Let each one take a sober judgment of himself, of
his powers, and duties.
The measure of faith. That measure of faith which would enable one
to exercise spiritual gifts. Romans 12:4-8 show that this is Paul's
meaning. It is not the ordinary faith that saves the soul, but the
extraordinary faith, which was accompanied in the first century by
supernatural gifts, that is meant.
