"By 'analogy of faith' we mean the coherence of the truths of faith among themselves and within the whole plan of Revelation" (CCC #114).
Scripture
The phrase "analogy of faith" is found in Romans 12:6:
6 Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us exercise them: if prophecy, in proportion to the faith;
7 if ministry, in ministering; if one is a teacher, in teaching;
8 if one exhorts, in exhortation; if one contributes, in generosity; if one is over others, with diligence; if one does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
- Greek
- ἔχοντες δὲ χαÏίσματα κατὰ τὴν χάÏιν τὴν δοθεῖσαν ἡμῖν διάφοÏα, εἴτε Ï€Ïοφητείαν κατὰ τὴν ἀναλογίαν τῆς πίστεως.
- "kata ten analogian tes pisteos" literally means "according to the analogy of faith."
- Latin
- "analogia fidei" = "analogy of faith"
- The early Fathers of the Church used "regula fidei" ("rule of faith") to mean "something extrinsic to our faith, and serving as its norm or measure"[1]
