And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
Administrations (the various functions and services of those having the "gifts" of 1 Corinthians 12:4; cf. 1 Corinthians 12:28), and "operations" (the effects resulting from both) are the same things viewed in a different aspect. They are "gifts" of the same Spirit of holiness and knowledge (1 Corinthians 2:10); 'minis- trations' in the service of the same Lord of love, and "operations" derived from the same Source, the omnipotent Father (1 Corinthians 8:6), omnipotence.
Same Lord - whom the Spirit glorifies by these ministrations.
