But it is one and the same Spirit. These gifts, though different, came from the ONE Spirit. Each gift was necessary to build up the body of Christ. Each gift conferred equal honor. No one had any right to boast that his (or her) gift made them more spiritual and holy than other people. [HEKASTO = each (man and woman).] As he wishes. The Spirit deals with each one receiving a gift on an individual basis. Paul wants the Corinthians to understand that it is the Holy Spirit himself who makes the choice to give or withhold each spiritual gift. Compare 1 Corinthians 12:7.
