Context of 1 Corinthians 12:9

7God helps each of us with a gift from his Spirit. He does that so that we can help others. 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. The same Spirit causes other people to trust God strongly. He gives to other people gifts to make sick people well. 10The 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.
