Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
Diversities of gifts - i:e., the one Spirit is refracted into various spiritual endowments unique to the several members (1 Corinthians 12:11); some altogether superhuman, as tongues, healing, etc.; others based on natural capabilities. Same Spirit - the Holy Trinity; the Holy Spirit in this verse; Christ in 1 Corinthians 12:5; the Father in 1 Corinthians 12:6. "Gifts," "administrations," "operations," respectively correspond to the Divine Tree. The Spirit is treated of, 1 Corinthians 12:7, etc.; the Lord, 1 Corinthians 12:12, etc.; God, 1 Corinthians 12:28. Compare Ephesians 4:4-6.
