Notes

1 Corinthians 12:9

The spiritual gift of great faith is different from the faith needed for salvation. It is an exceptional ability to trust God for specific needs (see 13:2; Matthew 17:19–20; compare Acts 6:5; 11:24).

1 Corinthians 12:8–10

This list of nine spiritual gifts is an example, not a complete list (see also 12:28–30; Romans 12:6–8; Ephesians 4:11).

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.
