Romans 12:3 talks about the/a measure of faith. From my research there is a big difference between the two articles. The is used to refer to specific or particular nouns; a is used to modify non-specific or non-particular nouns.
the = definite article
a = indefinite article
For example, if I say, "Let's read the book," I mean a specific book. If I say, "Let's read a book," I mean any book rather than a specific book.
I looked at 43 translation and it is about 50/50. Anyone have additional info on which is correct? Thanks all
