St. Paul’s Teaching

on Spiritual gifts
(1 Corinthians 12:
1-27)

All these gifts as

listed above
(Types of spiritual
gifts), Paul said,
are inspired by the
same spirit who
apportions to
individuals as He
wills, but the
manifestation of
the gifts in the
individual is for
the common good
of the body of
Christ (the
church). Paul
likened these gifts
to the human
body with
different parts and
different functions
all playing an
important role for
the good of the
entire body. So it
is with Christ; by
one spirit we were
baptised into one
body of Christ.
Paul, in his
analogy, went
further to say that
God has arranged
the different parts
of the body to be
mutually
interdependent
and necessary for
the existence of
the entire body.
Some parts which
seem to be weaker
are indispensable.
The parts which
people consider
less honourable
are invested with
greater honour;
the unpresentable
parts are treated
with greater
modesty which
our presentable
parts do not
require. God
created the body
that there might
be no discord; if
one member
suffers, all suffer
together: if one
member is
honoured, all
rejoice together.
In the same way,
in the body of
Christ (i.e. the
church), God has
appointed
apostles. Prophets,
teachers, workers
of miracles,
healers, helpers,
administrators and
speakers in various
kinds of tongues.
All must use their
gifts to the glory of
 God and for the
growth of the
church.
