Fill up then the measure of your ancestors!

But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits according to human measurement, which is also the angel’s.

But we will not boast beyond certain limits, but will confine our boasting according to the limits of the work to which God has appointed us, that reaches even as far as you.

The angel who spoke to me had a golden measuring rod with which to measure the city and its foundation stones and wall.

Give, and it will be given to you: A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be poured into your lap. For the measure you use will be the measure you receive.”

For by the grace given to me I say to every one of you not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think, but to think with sober discernment, as God has distributed to each of you a measure of faith.

until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God – a mature person, attaining to the measure of Christ’s full stature.
