Charisma

Charisma

Romans 12:6–8

Excerpt
Paul then applied what he had just said (vv. 3-5) to the exercise of God-given abilities for spiritual service (vv. 6-8). He built on the principle, We have different gifts (cf. v. 4, “not all have the same function”; cf. 1 Cor. 12:4). The grace-gifts (charismata) are according to God’sgrace (charis). He listed seven gifts, none of which—with the possible exception ofprophesying—is a sign gift. The Greek text is much more abrupt than any English translation; let him is supplied for smoother English. More

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
