AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 12:7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit [the spiritual illumination and the enabling of the Holy Spirit] for the common good. |
Subject: visions and revelations |
Bible Note: If you mean "all believers" when you say "all who has had a revelation", I agree, (1 Cor 2:10). 1 Corinthians 12 addresses the building up of the church - the body. It addresses the individuals as parts of the one body. God, through His Holy Spirit, enables us to understand spiritual things 1 Cor 2:10-13. These things are hidden to unbelievers, 2:6-8, but we have the mind of Christ, 2:16. As you read through 1 Corinthians, you'll notice that there were divisions and quarrels in Corinth (1:10-11). When Paul addresses them, he does not speak towards their individuality (although there are many body parts). He stresses their unity - one body (12:20). The manifestations of the Spirit are for the common good of those who have the Spirit. He will give understanding to those who are His. |
