Notes

1 Corinthians 12:6

All the work believers do for God is actually God working through them (see 15:10; 2 Corinthians 4:7; Galatians 2:8; Philippians 2:13; compare Galatians 2:20).

1 Corinthians 12:4–11

Believers are united in the Lord and his Spirit, but God gives different spiritual gifts to each person. These gifts help them serve the same Lord in various ways (see also 7:7; 12:7–11, 28–31; Romans 12:6–8; Ephesians 4:11).

1 Corinthians 12:1–14:40

The church in Corinth focused too much on the gift of speaking in tongues (see 14:1–25, 27; compare the lists in 12:8–10, 28, where Paul lists tongues last). Paul offers advice to correct their understanding of the value and use of spiritual gifts.
