-
to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
-
to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
-
All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
-
For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
