1 Corinthians 12:5

And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

Administrations (the various functions and services of those having the "gifts" of ; cf. ), and "operations" (the effects resulting from both) are the same things viewed in a different aspect. They are "gifts" of the same Spirit of holiness and knowledge (); 'minis- trations' in the service of the same Lord of love, and "operations" derived from the same Source, the omnipotent Father (), omnipotence.

Same Lord - whom the Spirit glorifies by these ministrations.
