Differences of administrations.— Diversities of offices. These offices are reckoned up, 1 Corinthians 12:28, &c. The calling them administrations, or offices, was a gentle manner of reminding the Corinthians of the great design of these gifts; and so, of reproving those who perverted them to contrary purposes. See Doddridge and Benson.
