1 Corinthians 12:4-6

Second principle: ‘Spiritual gifts, though diverse in character, have one Divine source.'

Ver. 4. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit to whose peculiar department it belongs, in the economy of grace, to impart all spiritual gifts.

Ver. 5. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord (Jesus) to whom, as the Church's Head, it belongs to institute such ministries and appoint the men to discharge them (Ephesians 4:11).

Ver. 6. And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all as the absolute Fountain of all good, with whom, by eternal arrangement, all the functions of the Son and of the Spirit are regarded as originating. The systematic precision of these statements as to the way in which the operations of grace for behoof of the Church are distributed among the Persons of the one Godhead, is eminently noteworthy.
