But unto each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Rom 12:3; 1Co 12:11; 2Co 10:13Wherefore he saith,

When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive,

And gave gifts unto men.Psa 68:18; Jhn 3:13

(Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 1Co 12:28for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 1Co 14:20
