So we are to use our different gifts. Each one in the messianic community has his duties, just as the hand or foot or eye of the body. Compare 1 Corinthians 12:4-7. In accordance with the grace. Compare Romans 12:3. Seven gifts are now mentioned. The first four are "official," and some are supernormal. To speak God's message.

They were sometimes, but not always, comparable to preachers.]
