 {Workings of miracles} (energ(886d)ata duname(936e)). Workings of
powers. Cf. energ(936e) dunameis in  Ga 3:5  Heb 2:4  where all
three words are used (s(886d)eia, signs, 	erata, wonders,
dunameis, powers). Some of the miracles were not healings as
the blindness on Elymas the sorcerer. {Prophecy} (proph(8874)eia).
Late word from proph(8874)(8873) and proph(886d)i, to speak forth. Common
in papyri. This gift Paul will praise most (chapter  1Co 14 ).
Not always prediction, but a speaking forth of God's message
under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. {Discernings of spirits}
(diakriseis pneumat(936e)). Diakrisis is old word from diakrin(935c)
(see  11:29 ) and in N.T. only here;  Ro 14:1  Heb 5:14 . A most
needed gift to tell whether the gifts were really of the Holy
Spirit and supernatural (cf. so-called "gifts" today) or merely
strange though natural or even diabolical ( 1Ti 4:1  1Jo 4:1f. ).
{Divers kinds of tongues} (gen(8820)gl(9373)s(936e)). No word for "divers"
in the Greek. There has arisen a great deal of confusion
concerning the gift of tongues as found in Corinth. They prided
themselves chiefly on this gift which had become a source of
confusion and disorder. There were varieties (kinds, gen(885c)) in
this gift, but the gift was essentially an ecstatic utterance of
highly wrought emotion that edified the speaker ( 14:4 ) and was
intelligible to God ( 14:2,28 ). It was not always true that the
speaker in tongues could make clear what he had said to those who
did not know the tongue ( 14:13 ): It was not mere gibberish or
jargon like the modern "tongues," but in a real language that
could be understood by one familiar with that tongue as was seen
on the great Day of Pentecost when people who spoke different
languages were present. In Corinth, where no such variety of
people existed, it required an interpreter to explain the tongue
to those who knew it not. Hence Paul placed this gift lowest of
all. It created wonder, but did little real good. This is the
error of the Irvingites and others who have tried to reproduce
this early gift of the Holy Spirit which was clearly for a
special emergency and which was not designed to help spread the
gospel among men. See on 涉c 2:13-21; 10:44-46; 19:6|. {The
interpretation of tongues} (herm(886e)eia gl(9373)s(936e)). Old word, here
only and  14:26  in N.T., from herm(886e)eu(935c) from Herm(8873) (the god
of speech). Cf. on dierm(886e)eu(935c) in  Lu 24:27  Ac 9:36 . In case
there was no one present who understood the particular tongue it
required a special gift of the Spirit to some one to interpret it
if any one was to receive benefit from it.
