ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 12 v11a

THE WRITTEN WORD INSPIRED BY THE SPIRIT. CYRIL OF JERUSALEM: Let us assert of the Holy Spirit only what is written. Let us not busy ourselves about what is not written. The Holy Spirit has authored the Scriptures. He has spoken of himself all that he wished, or all that we could grasp. Let us confine ourselves to what he has said, for it is reckless to do otherwise. CATECHETICAL LECTURES 16.2.

THE SAME SPIRIT. CHRYSOSTOM: The universal medicine of his consolation stems from the same root, from the same treasure, the same stream. Therefore Paul occasionally dwells on this expression so as to level out apparent inequalities and console them. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 29.5.

THE SPIRIT NOT DIVIDED. AMBROSE: The Spirit spoke also in the patriarchs and the prophets, and finally the apostles then began to be more perfect after they had received the Holy Spirit. Thus there is no separation of the divine power and grace, for although “there are varieties of gifts, yet there is the same Spirit.” THE HOLY SPIRIT 2.12.138.

THE COMFORT OF SUPPOSED LESSER GIFTS. THEODORET OF CYR: Here Paul is comforting those who received the lesser gifts, pointing out that they too come from the Holy Spirit. COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 246.
