Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 12:7-9

1 Corinthians 12:7-9. But the manifestation of the Spirit That ability to exercise some spiritual gift, whereby the Spirit manifests his presence with the person possessed of the gift; is given to every man That has it; to profit withal For the profit of the whole body; to edify the different members of the church, and to be only thus used, and not for the purposes of pride and division. For to one is given, by the immediate influence of the Spirit, the word of wisdom Ability to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 12:1-11

12:1-14:40 SPIRITUAL GIFTS IN THE CHURCHThe variety of gifts (12:1-11)Some unusual spiritual gifts operated in the early church. One of these caused people to speak with strange sounds (commonly referred to as ‘tongues’) that neither they nor the hearers understood unless someone interpreted them. Some at Corinth, still influenced by attitudes from former idolatrous days, were impressed by such things and considered those who so spoke to be spiritually superior. However, the situation got out... read more

To another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit.The list of miraculous endowments continues here. "Faith" is the endowment of all Christians, but more than faith ordinary is meant here.It has a special meaning here. It must mean a faith that has special, visible results, a faith that enables one to do miracles (Matthew 17:20; 1 Corinthians 13:2).[14]Lipscomb identified faith here as "that which enabled one to remove mountains, as Jesus said, enabling... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 12:9

1 Corinthians 12:9. Faith by the same Spirit.— In the following chapter, where these gifts are again mentioned, the Apostle explains the nature of the faith here reckoned among the gifts of the Spirit, by calling it a faith which could remove mountains, or such a faith as was attended with a power of controlling nature; alluding to that want of faith with which Jesus upbraids his disciples, where he says, "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard-seed ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 12:9

9. faith—not of doctrines, but of miracles: confidence in God, by the impulse of His Spirit, that He would enable them to perform any required miracle (compare 1 Corinthians 13:2; Mark 11:23; James 5:15). Its nature, or principle, is the same as that of saving faith, namely, reliance on God; the producing cause, also, in the same,' namely, a power altogether supernatural (Ephesians 1:19; Ephesians 1:20). But the objects of faith differ respectively. Hence, we see, saving faith does not save by... read more

2. The need for varieties of spiritual gifts 12:4-31Paul planned to return to the subject of glossolalia (ch. 14), but first he wanted to talk more generally about spiritual gifts. In the verses that follow he dealt with differences in gifts in the church."Having given the negative and positive criterion of genuine spiritual endowments as manifested in speech, the Apostle goes on to point out the essential oneness of these very varied gifts." [Note: Robertson and Plummer, p. 262.] Diversity,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 12:9

Faith is trust in God. Every Christian has some faith just as every Christian has some wisdom and knowledge. However some believers have more God-given ability to trust God than others just as some have more God-given wisdom or knowledge than others. All believers should seek to cultivate wisdom, knowledge, and faith, but some have a larger God-given capacity for one or another of them than other Christians do.The "gifts of healings" (literally) by definition refer to abilities to cause healing... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 12:1-31

(e) Spiritual Gifts(i) Their Nature and Relations1-3. The test of the Spirit’s presence is the confession of Jesus as the Lord. It would seem that some members of the Church, carried away by their excitement when speaking in the congregation under the power of the Spirit, as they said, had called Jesus accursed, as if they had been unbelievers. No such utterance, says the Apostle, can proceed from any one who speaks by the Spirit.2. Gentiles] and so ignorant of all spiritual gifts, and... read more
