Diversity of Spiritual Gifts for the Common Good

In 1 Corinthians 12:4-10, the Apostle Paul highlights the diversity of spiritual gifts given by the Holy Spirit but emphasizes that they all come from the same God. Although there are different kinds of gifts, services, and workings, they are all distributed and empowered by the same Spirit for the common good.

Paul lists several spiritual gifts in this passage, including:

The gift of wisdom.

The gift of knowledge.

The gift of faith.

The gift of healing.

The gift of miraculous powers.

The gift of prophecy.

The ability to discern spirits.

The ability to speak in tongues.

The ability to interpret tongues.

Paul's message is that these gifts are given to different people within the church, yet they are all manifestations of the same Spirit, working together to build up the community.
