“And All These Gifts Come by the Spirit of Christ”

Brant Gardner

Reference: The model in 1 Corinthians 12:10 uses the phrase “discerning of spirits.” This phrase becomes “beholding of angels and ministering of spirits.” In the Pauline statement, the discernment could be the spirit in the individual, but in the Book of Mormon context it is transformed into an ability to behold angels. Certainly in Moroni’s experience, this greater specificity would be warranted, for he has already spoken of ministering of angels (Moroni 7:22).
