A Brief Exposition of 1 Corinthians, (The Church's Problem With Spiritual Gifts) Part 2
Beloved, The intended consequence of this teaching is that the believers at Corinth are to seek those things that build up one another. It is interesting that in the listing of the spiritual gifts both here (wisdom and knowledge) and in Romans 12: 3-8 (prophecy, προφητείαν ) that Paul begins each list not with miracle gifts but teaching gifts. The purpose seems evident for this when gauged against the underlying truth, God has given these gifts for the building up of the body. Do miracle gifts have their place? Yes, but for the building up of the body also. When gifting begins to be used for any other purpose, they are being used in a way that is beyond what God has purposed in His revealed word.
