'Operations' in the Bible
Because they have no regard for the works of the LordNor the deeds of His hands,He will tear them down and not rebuild them.
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
and to another operations of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; and to a different one kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues.
But all these are the operations of the one and the same Spirit, giving to every man separately as his pleasure is.
But in this matter I give you an opinion; for my doing this helps forward your own intentions, seeing that not only have you begun operations, but a year ago you already had the desire to do so.
