2 | word of knowledge and word of wisdom | 1 Cor 12:1 | BradK | 74375 | ||
Hi Yanet, I'll try to be as concise as possible. I believe you're refering to 1 Cor. 12:8, "For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;" Paul is basically delineating some of the gifts given to individuals via the Spirit. One is given "the word of wisdom". The Greek noun "wisdom" is used 8 times by Paul with reference to the wisdom of God. I think we can get a sense of what he is saying by looking at 1 Cor.2:7-10 and Eph. 3:2-9. Next, Paul then says that to another was given "the word of knowledge". The Greek words translated wisdom and knowledge are sometimes used together, which can suggest a similarity in meaning ( Rom.11:33, Col.2:3). The word for knowledge is used to depict a knowledge of God- of which God is the source ( 2 Cor. 10:5) It is also used to portray a knowledge of Christ ( Phil.3:8, 2 Pet.3:18) Paul had this knowledge himself (2 Cor.11:6) and is also a knowledge which enables believers to admonish one another (Rom.15:14). I hope this helps:-) Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
