J. N. Darby Translation

17
However, as the Lord has divided to each, as God has called each, so let him walk; and thus I ordain in all the assemblies.

W. Kelly Translation

+
17
Onlya as the Lord dividedb to each, as Godc hath called each, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the assemblies.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
It appears to be really an elliptic phrase to the effect that there is no more to say except that etc., which we turn briefly by "But," or "Only."
b
Some read "hath divided."
c
Some texts invert the true relationships here, "Lord" and "God." It is God that has called, the Lord that divided, not the converse."
