Different abilities to perform service. The same God is the source of authority for each who has the gifts from the Spirit, therefore all are equal. The whole point of 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 is that (1) there are different gifts; (2) there are different ways of serving; (3) there are different abilities to perform service; (4) but since these things come from the one God and the Holy Spirit, all who have these are equally honored by them. No one can feel his gift is more important than all the others.
