'Gifts' in the Bible

It is important, brethren, that you should have clear knowledge on the subject of spiritual gifts.

Now there are various kinds of gifts, but there is one and the same Spirit;

to a third man, by means of the same Spirit, special faith; to another various gifts of healing, by means of the one Spirit;

But these results are all brought about by one and the same Spirit, who bestows His gifts upon each of us in accordance with His own will.

But always seek to excel in the greater gifts. And now I will point out to you a way of life which transcends all others.

Be eager in your pursuit of this Love, and be earnestly ambitious for spiritual gifts, but let it be chiefly so in order that you may prophesy.

Therefore, seeing that you are ambitious for spiritual gifts, seek to excel in them so as to benefit the Church.

If any one deems himself to be a Prophet or a man with spiritual gifts, let him recognize as the Lord's command all that I am now writing to you.
