for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of
wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of
knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by
the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the
same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to
another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to
another different kinds of tongues, to another the
interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit
works all these things, distributing to each one
individually as He wills.”
