    • 12:4

      gifts: Paul here discusses the spiritual gifts that God gave the first-century Christian congregation. (1Co 12:1) Each gift listed at 1Co 12:8-10 (see study notes on these verses) involved a miraculous ability. To impart these gifts, God used his holy spirit, or active force. God’s spirit can operate in different ways on different servants of God for a specific purpose. Thus, not everyone received the same gift, or miraculous ability. The Greek word used here, khaʹri·sma (lit., “gracious gift”), appears 17 times in the Christian Greek Scriptures and is related to the term khaʹris, often rendered “undeserved kindness.”​—See study note on Ro 6:23.
