1 Corinthians 12:7
5 There are different ministries, but the same Lord.
6 There are different ways of working, but the same God works all things in all people.
Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit,
9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
