ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 12 v7

MANIFESTATION OF THE SPIRIT. AMBROSIASTER: Each person receives a gift so that, governing his life by divine constraints, he may be useful both to himself and to others while presenting an example of good behavior. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

FOR YOUR BENEFIT. CHRYSOSTOM: Whatever measure of the Spirit has been given to you, it is for your benefit, so there is no reason to complain of what seems like a small gift. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 29.5.

FOR THE COMMON GOOD. BASIL: Since no one has the capacity to receive all spiritual gifts, but the grace of the Spirit is given proportionately to the faith of each, when one is living in community with others, the grace privately bestowed on each individual becomes the common possession of the others. … One who receives any of these gifts does not possess it for his own sake but rather for the sake of others. THE LONG RULES 7.

IN OUR TIME GRACE GIVEN. THEODORET OF CYR: Even in our time grace is given to those who are deemed worthy of holy baptism, but it may not take the same form as it did in those days. COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 243.
