Gift (charisma). Late N.T. word (in late papyri) from charizomai, to give graciously. It is used here by Peter as one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit (1Co 12:4, 1Co 12:9, 1Co 12:29-31; Rom 12:6).

Ministering (diakonountes). Present active participle plural of diakoneō, common verb (Mat 20:28), though hekastos (each) is singular.

As good stewards (hōs kaloi oikonomoi). For “steward” (oikonomos, house-manager) see Luk 16:1; 1Co 4:1 (used by Paul of himself) and of any bishop (Tit 1:7), but here of any Christian. See kalos used with diakonos in 1Ti 4:6.

Of the manifold grace of God (poikilēs charitos theou). For poikilos (many-colored) see note on 1Pe 1:6 and note on Jam 1:2.
