Context of 1 Corinthians 12:10

8The Spirit helps some people to speak wise messages. Other people can speak messages that help people to know what is true. It is the same Spirit that helps them to do that. 9The same Spirit causes other people to trust God strongly. He gives to other people gifts to make sick people well. The same Spirit gives other people power to do miracles. Other people can speak messages from God. Some people can recognize whether spirits are good or bad. Some people can speak in different kinds of languages. And other people can explain what those languages mean. 11There is only one Holy Spirit. The same Spirit helps people to do all these different things. He decides which gifts he will give to each person. 12Each person has only one body, but that body has many parts. All those different parts make only one body. It is like that with Christ too.

Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 12:10

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10To another the working of miracles - Commentators have felt some perplexity in distinguishing this from what is mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:9, of the gift of healing. it is evident that the apostle there refers to the power of working miracles in healing inveterate and violent diseases.
