Paul teaches about spiritual gifts, emphasizing that the same Spirit gives a variety of gifts “for the common good,” and that no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Spirit. He compares the church to a body: many members, one body, each indispensable, so that there is no division but mutual care, “if one member suffers, all suffer together.” God has appointed different roles and gifts, and believers should earnestly desire the higher gifts. “And I will show you a still more excellent way.”
1 Corinthians study chapter
1 Corinthians 12
c. AD 55The one Spirit gives diverse gifts to the one body of Christ, where every member is needed.
