“Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;”
We have different gifts, according to the grace given to us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith — the charismata (grace-gifts) are diversified according to charis (grace) given. Prophēteueō (prophesy) is enumerated first—perhaps because it addresses the community directly. The gift must be exercised kata tēn analogian tēs pisteōs (according to the proportion of faith), suggesting that gifting and faith are proportional, not competitive.
