Gifts of the Spirit

Was reading in 1 Corinthians and found this. I thought I would share what I found.

1 Corinthians 12:4-11

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;
and there are
varieties of service, but the same Lord;
and there are varieties of
activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.
To
each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.8 For to one
is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the
utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
to another faith by the
same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,
to another the
working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish
between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the
interpretation of tongues.
All these are empowered by one and the same
Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

The chapter goes on to talk about how we are all part of the body of Christ, which has many members with different purposes. I just found this really interesting.
