Commentary on 1 Corinthians 12:6

Theological / Devotional

Operations. Gr. energemata, “workings,” from energeo, “to be at work,” “to be in action,” “to operate.” Our word “energy” comes from this root. In the NT, energemata occurs only here and in v. 10. The word probably refers to the divine energizings operating in the church and perhaps in all nature.

Same God. Having introduced the Spirit and the Son in vs. 4, 5, Paul here completes his mention of the three persons of the Godhead by referring to the Father as the originator and sustainer of all the manifold endowments and workings of the spiritual powers that He has provided for the effectual accomplishment of the work of His church. There are various “gifts,” “administrations,” and “operations,” but all proceed from one God, one Lord, one Spirit, that is, from Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
