1 Corinthians 12:4 - The Message

God’s various gifts are handed out everywhere; but they all originate in God’s Spirit. God’s various ministries are carried out everywhere; but they all originate in God’s Spirit. God’s various expressions of power are in action everywhere; but God himself is behind it all. Each person is given something to do that shows who God is: Everyone gets in on it, everyone benefits. All kinds of things are handed out by the Spirit, and to all kinds of people! The variety is wonderful:   wise counsel   clear understanding   simple trust   healing the sick   miraculous acts   proclamation   distinguishing between spirits   tongues   interpretation of tongues.   All these gifts have a common origin, but are handed out one by one by the one Spirit of God. He decides who gets what, and when.
