Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 12:4-6

'Now there are diversities of gifts (charismata), but the same Spirit. And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord. And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all.' Paul then goes on the point out that there are in fact diversities of spiritual gifts (charismata - 'gifts of grace'), all given and inspired by the same Spirit, differing ministries in the church, all performed and empowered under the same Lord, many types of workings in... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 12:4-11

1 Corinthians 12:4-1 Kings : . Having given a criterion for detecting the spurious, Paul proceeds to discuss the gifts. There are diversities in the manifestation but none in the source. The same Spirit is manifested in manifold gifts, the same Lord in manifold ministrations, the same God in manifold activities. Unity in the source is accompanied with rich diversity in the effects. The gift is imparted to each; none is passed by, but it is given not for self-gratification but for the benefit... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 12:5

There are divers offices or ministries in the church of God; one ministereth in the office of an elder, another in the office of a deacon; one in one service of the church, another in another service; but there is but one Lord to whom they minister; they all serve the great Lord of the church, Jesus Christ, though in divers orders and places of ministration. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Corinthians 12:1-31

CRITICAL NOTES1 Corinthians 12:1.—Gifts is a translators’ supplement; right in fact, as 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 show; slightly too precise in word. Almost certainly neuter, and so very general, “spiritual things.” Another of the topics laid before Paul for his discussion and guiding instructions.1 Corinthians 12:2. Dumb.—In contrast with the “tongues,” which were, in the mind of the Corinthians, the most striking and choice charism of the Spirit; denying also to the idol, and attributing... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 12:1-31

Now concerning the spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you be ignorant ( 1 Corinthians 12:1 ).An interesting statement of Paul, because I think that in the church one of the areas where the greatest ignorance does exist today is in the area of spiritual gifts, and their operation within the church. And this ignorance is on both sides of the fence.Within the Pentecostal churches there is a lot of abuse of the gifts of the Spirit, because people are ignorant of their true operation within... read more

1 Corinthians 12:1-2 . Now concerning spiritual gifts, and gifts promised to old men, to young men, and to handmaids, according to Joel 2:28, I would now speak, in the third part of this epistle, and apprise you that those endowments are altogether divine, and are the emanations of celestial glory; the adornings of God our Saviour, peculiar to the christian church. Proofs demonstrative of the divine authority of our religion. While you bowed before dumb idols, all around you were the... read more

1 Corinthians 12:1-31Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.Spiritual giftsThe particular gifts to which St. Paul was referring were not exactly as a whole like anything that is to be witnessed in the Church now. They produced effects which challenged the attention of the eye and the ear, and were calculated to fire the imagination. St. Paul mentions nine of these gifts. Of these the word of knowledge, the word of wisdom and prophecy, were such as might be found... read more

1 Corinthians 12:4-6Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.Diversities of gifts1. The glory of the Apostolic Church was not merely in her faith, zeal, conversions, or martyrdoms; but above all, and as their source--in the possession of the Holy Spirit.2. Her miraculous gifts have been long laid aside; but the Holy Spirit is still the glory of the Church, endowing her with even nobler gifts; and of them the text is still true. There is variety in unity.I. In spiritual,... read more
