To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom The "message of wisdom" refers to a spiritual gift imparted by the Holy Spirit, emphasizing divine insight and understanding beyond human capability. In the biblical context, wisdom is often associated with the ability to apply knowledge in a godly manner, as seen in Solomon's request for wisdom (1 Kings 3:9-12). This gift is crucial for guiding the church in making decisions that align with God's will. The early church, situated in a diverse and often pagan Corinth, required such wisdom to navigate cultural and doctrinal challenges. This gift is reminiscent of Christ, who is described as the "wisdom of God" (1 Corinthians 1:24), highlighting the connection between divine wisdom and the person of Jesus. to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points Understanding Spiritual GiftsRecognize that spiritual gifts, such as wisdom and knowledge, are given by the Holy Spirit for the common good of the church. They are not for personal gain but for serving others. The Role of Wisdom and Knowledge Wisdom and knowledge are distinct yet complementary gifts. Wisdom involves the practical application of knowledge in decision-making and living a godly life, while knowledge involves understanding deep truths of God. Seeking the Giver, Not Just the Gifts While it is important to desire spiritual gifts, our primary focus should be on our relationship with the Holy Spirit, the giver of these gifts. Unity in Diversity The distribution of different gifts among believers highlights the diversity within the body of Christ. Each gift is essential, and believers should work together in unity, valuing each other's contributions. Practical Application of Gifts Encourage believers to seek opportunities to use their gifts of wisdom and knowledge in their communities, workplaces, and churches, always aiming to glorify God and edify others.(8) For to one is given by the Spirit.--1Corinthians 12:8-10 illustrate the former statements as to varieties of endowments for the object of the manifestation of the Spirit, still, however, emphasising the unity of their origin, viz., the Holy Spirit. The following division (Meyer's) of the gifts which are here mentioned is, perhaps, the best approach to a classification which can be made. In the Greek the genera (so to speak) are divided by the word hetero, the species by allo, both words being rendered in the English by the one word "another ":-- I.Gifts which have reference to intellectual power. (1)The word of wisdom. (2)The word of knowledge. II.Gifts which depend upon special energy of faith. (1) The faith itself. (2) Operating in deeds. (a)Healings. (b)Miracles. Verse 8. - The word of wisdom... the word of knowledge. In modern usage, "knowledge" is the learning which we by use and effort acquire; "wisdom" is the insight which gradually dawns upon us from thought and experience. In the language of the New Testament, the distinction between the two words is not so clearly marked, but" wisdom" seems to belong more to the human spirit, and "knowledge "to the intellect. The "discourse of wisdom" would be that which sets forth the truth of the gospel persuasively to work conversion (1 Corinthians 2:6, 7); the "discourse of knowledge" would be that which enters into the speculative and theoretical elaboration of systematic theology. The first might find its illustration in the 'Imitatio Christi;' the second in the 'Summa Theologiae.'Parallel Commentaries ...
