1 Corinthians 7:7

I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Yet I wish that all men were like me. However each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.

But{G235} every man{G1538} hath{G2192}{(G5719)} his proper{G2398} gift{G5486} of{G1537} God{G2316}, one{G3739}{G3303} after this manner{G3779}, and{G1161} another{G3739} after that{G3779}.

for I wish all men to be even as I myself am; but each his own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and one thus.
