7 Bible Verses about Spiritual Gifts, Diversity Of

Gifts differ, but the Spirit is the same; Ways of serving differ, yet the Master is the same; Results differ, yet the God who brings about every result is in every case the same.

Since our gifts differ in accordance with the particular charge entrusted to us, if our gift is to preach, let our preaching correspond to our faith; If it is to minister to others, let us devote ourselves to our ministry; the teacher to his teaching, The speaker to his exhortation. Let the man who gives in charity do so with a generous heart; let him who is in authority exercise due diligence; let him who shows kindness do so in a cheerful spirit.

I should wish every one to be just what I am myself. But every one has his own gift from God-one in one way, and one in another. My advice, then, to those who are not married, and to widows, is this: It would be well for them to remain as I am myself. But, if they cannot control themselves, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to be consumed with passion.read more.
To those who are married my direction is-yet it is not mine, but the Master's-that a woman is not to leave her husband (If she has done so, let her remain as she is, or else be reconciled to her husband) and also that a man is not to divorce his wife. To all others I say-I, not the Master-If a Brother is married to a woman, who is an unbeliever but willing to live with him, he should not divorce her; And a woman who is married to a man, who is an unbeliever but willing to live with her, should not divorce her husband. For, through his wife, the husband who is an unbeliever has become associated with Christ's People; and the wife who is an unbeliever has become associated with Christ's People through our Brother whom she has married. Otherwise your children would be 'defiled,' but, as it is, they belong to Christ's People. However, if the unbeliever wishes to be separated, let him be so. Under such circumstances neither the Brother nor the Sister is bound; God has called you to live in peace. How can you tell, wife, whether you may not save your husband? and how can you tell, husband, whether you may not save your wife? In any case, a man should continue to live in the condition which the Lord has allotted to him, and in which he was when God called him. This is the rule that I lay down in every Church.

To one is given the power to speak with wisdom through the Spirit; to another the power to speak with knowledge, due to the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another power to cure diseases by the one Spirit; to another supernatural powers; To another the gift of preaching; to another the gift of distinguishing between true and false inspiration; to another varieties of the gift of 'tongues'; to another the power to interpret 'tongues.'read more.
All these result from one and the same Spirit, who distributes his gifts to each individually as he wills.

And he it is who gave to the Church Apostles, Prophets, Missionaries, Pastors, and Teachers,

while God himself added his testimony to it by signs, and marvels, and many different miracles, as well as by imparting the Holy Spirit as he saw fit.

Whatever the gift that each has received, use it in the service of others, as good stewards of the varied bounty of God. When any one speaks, let him speak as one who is delivering the oracles of God. When any one is endeavoring to serve others, let him do so in reliance on the strength which God supplies; so that in everything God may be honour ed through Jesus Christ--to whom be ascribed all honour and might for ever and ever. Amen.
