1 Corinthians 12:8

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

Ver. 8. The word of wisdom] "The tongue of the learned," to time a word, Isaiah 50:4, to set it upon its circumferences,Proverbs 25:11, to declare unto man his righteousness, when not one of a thousand can do it like him, Job 33:23 .

The word of knowledge] This, say some, is the doctor's office, as the former word of wisdom is the pastor's (Mr Edwards). But the essential difference between pastors and doctors in each congregation is much denied by many learned and good divines. Others by "the word of wisdom" will have understood knowledge infused by divine revelation; as by "the word of knowledge," that knowledge that is acquired by study and industry. (Barlow. Taylor upon Titus.)
