1 Corinthians 12:9

Gives faith. Not the faith which comes through hearing the gospel (Romans 10:17). Faith, as a gift from the Spirit, was: (1) supernormal boldness and courage (Matthew 10:19-20; Luke 21:15; Acts 4:31; Acts 6:10); (2) faith which led spiritual men to perform miracles (Matthew 17:20; 1 Corinthians 13:2; 1 Thessalonians 1:5). The power to heal. The ability to heal diseases was used to authenticate the message of Christ. Compare Acts 19:11-12 - but notice also those whom Paul did not heal (2 Timothy 4:10; Philippians 2:25-27; 1 Timothy 5:23; 2 Corinthians 12:7-9).
