Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 12:4

_ _ diversities of gifts — that is, varieties of spiritual endowments peculiar to the several members of the Church: compare “dividing to every man severally” (1 Corinthians 12:11).

_ _ same Spirit — The Holy Trinity appears here: the Holy Spirit in this verse; Christ in 1 Corinthians 12:5; and the Father in 1 Corinthians 12:6. The terms “gifts,” “administrations,” and “operations,” respectively correspond to the Divine Three. The Spirit is treated of in 1 Corinthians 12:7, etc.; the Lord, in 1 Corinthians 12:12, etc.; God, in 1 Corinthians 12:28. (Compare Ephesians 4:4-6).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Corinthians 12:1-11.
