Summary for 1Cor 12:8-10: 12:8-10 ^c This list of nine spiritual gifts is a representative rather than complete list (cp. 12:28-30 ^d; Rom 12:6-8 ^e; Eph 4:11 ^f). 12:8 ^g God’s Spirit gives supernatural wisdom or knowledge to some believers.

• gives a message of special knowledge: cp. 1:5 ^h; 8:1 ⁱ; 13:2 ^j, 8 ^k.
