This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
To another the working of miracles, of other sorts, such as the inflicting punishments on sinners, casting out devils, &c.
To another prophecy, which in the general signifieth the revelation of the will of God, whether by the foretelling future contingencies, or opening the Scriptures by preaching or teaching.
To another discerning of spirits; a power wherein God, for the further authority and credit of his gospel in the primitive times, communicated to some men something of his own prerogative to discern men’s inward thoughts and hearts, and to make up a judgment of their truth and sincerity, or contrariwise of their falsehood and hypocrisy.
To another divers kinds of tongues, that is, a power to discourse with men in their several languages, as we read in Act_2:8.
To another the interpretation of tongues: this is made a diverse gift from an ability to speak with divers tongues; possibly some of those that spake with divers tongues could not interpret what they said.
