ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 12 v6

THE ONE WORK OF THE TRIUNE GOD. AMBROSIASTER: Paul is emphatic in asserting that the distribution of gifts is not to be attributed to human causes as if they were achievable by men. The varied gifts of the Holy Spirit and the grace of the Lord Jesus are the work of one and the same God. The grace and the gift cannot be divided according to the persons of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit but must be understood as constituting the one work of the undivided unity and nature of the Three. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

THE FOURFOLD SEQUENCE. HILARY OF POITIERS: There is a fourfold meaning in the words that lie before us: There is the same Spirit in the varieties of the gifts. There is the same Lord in the varieties of ministries. There is the same God in these varieties. And there is a manifestation of the Spirit in the bestowal of what is profitable. ON THE TRINITY 8.29.

THE SAME GOD WHO INSPIRES. CHRYSOSTOM: Gifts, service and working all amount to the same thing in the end, for they are different forms of the same ministry. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 29.4.
