This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Differing (diaphora). Old adjective from diapherō, to differ, to vary. So Heb 9:10.
According to the proportion of our faith (kata tēn analogian tēs pisteōs). The same use of pistis (faith) as in Rom 12:3 “the measure of faith.” Old word. analogia (our word “analogy”) from analogos (analogous, conformable, proportional). Here alone in N.T. The verb prophēteuōmen (present active volitive subjunctive, let us prophesy) must be supplied with which echontes agrees. The context calls for the subjective meaning of “faith” rather than the objective and outward standard though pistis does occur in that sense (Gal 1:23; Gal 3:23).
