The setting
Paul wrote to a diverse mix of Jewish and Gentile believers in Rome who were learning to live as one community. Spiritual gifts were understood as practical expressions of grace meant to strengthen the whole group rather than individuals.
Reflection
In what concrete way could exercising the gift of prophecy in proportion to faith strengthen relationships within your local community?
A prayer
Jesus, show me the grace-gift you have placed in me and give me courage to share it simply today.
