\n– and to another spiritual gifts\/presents out of kindness of healings<\/strong> through the same Spirit
\n– and to another workings\/acts of power\/ abilities<\/strong>
\n– and to another prophecy<\/strong>
\n– and to another discernment\/distinguishing between spirits<\/strong>
\n– and to another divers languages\/tongues<\/strong>
\n– and to yet another explanation\/interpretation of languages\/tongues.<\/strong>

Explanation of the text:<\/span><\/h3>\n

The revelation of the Spirit is given to each one.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now the revelation of the Spirit<\/strong> is given to each one<\/strong> in order to gather together\/carry together\/be useful.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In Romans 12<\/span><\/a> Paul describes the spiritual gifts\/presents out of kindness<\/strong> as a friendly gesture, from the spiritual life of a disciple<\/strong> of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

Here in 1 Corinthians 12 he describes the spiritual gifts\/charisma\/presents out of kindness as a revelation of the Holy Spirit<\/strong>.
\nThis refers to presents out of kindness from God, because:<\/p>\n

\u2026 in everyone it is the same God at work.\u00a0\u00a0 (1 Corinthians 12:6)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Through the Holy Spirit as a channel, God comes to help people in their weakness.
\nIn view of \u051dhat went before in this chapter, this promise is valid for all the members of the body of Jesus Christ. Note that no condition of baptism in the Holy Spirit is mentioned.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the revelation of the Spirit is to build up, to gather together, to keep together and to carry together<\/strong> the body of Jesus Christ by means of:<\/p>\n

A word of wisdom\/insight.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

For indeed to one a word of wisdom\/insight<\/strong> is given through the Spirit<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is a word van wisdom\/insight<\/strong> given as a Divine revelation<\/strong>, literally through<\/strong> (Greek: dia) the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the channel through which God transfers wisdom\/insight.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit can give this Divine revelation to someone personally, so that he\/she is able to function better as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
\nHowever, in view of the fact that what is referred to is a word<\/strong> of wisdom\/insight, God intends particularly that the person who receives this word should speak it out over another member of the church, so that that member will be encouraged or receive insight by it.
\nIn this way God binds members of the body of Christ together to form a whole.<\/p>\n
