7\u00a0 A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.\u00a0 8\u00a0 To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice [a] ; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge. [b] 9 The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. 10 He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the\nability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, [c] \u00a0while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. 11 It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
