“Nd They Come Unto Every Man Severally According as He Will”

Brant Gardner

Reference: This verse mirrors Paul’s introduction to the gifts of the Spirit, even though it comes here at the end of the catalog. The intent is to show that these gifts are given to men. It emphasizes the universality of the gifts without the Pauline indication that there is a uniqueness in the giving of the gift:

1 Corinthians 12:4-7

4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
