☀️ 1 - Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I don’t want you to be uninformed. {After scolding on important matters, he still of course addresses them as brothers and sisters in the Lord. Corinth was a huge metropolis and was very pagan in its attitudes and practices.} 2 You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols and followed however you were led. 3 Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in, and by, the Holy Spirit.

     4 Now there’s a variety of gifts, but it’s the same Spirit {of God, his Presence with us}. 5 And there are varieties of service, but it’s the same Lord {leading, enabling, doing the work}. 6 And there are varieties of activities, but it’s the same God who empowers all in everyone. {“All - pas” - Ultimately all gifts in all believers? During the Lord’s long second advent, for no one is ‘perfect’/perfected until “putting on perfection” (and thus immortality) at the wheat harvest of humanity (Mt.13:33, key word 3) (also 1Cor.15:22-28, 52-55; Mt.13:30b, a is Rev.16:14-15-16 and b is Mt.25:1-13 to serve called reigning during long 2nd advent, full scope version of his 1st so brief one (surely?) ..consider the trauma of all those who rise “into the aionion-kolasis” / eonian-korrection / age of correction — outlined in Lev.23, the wheel within a wheel (outline within the “8 days”/millennia outline/framework which is ‘the week plus one’). The 2nd resurrection is “into” the GWT judgment/review/closure for all (surely?) ‘Day’, which is the last quarter of the long second advent of TWO millennia.}

     7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. {“Aionion-kolasis” / eonian correction has been translated into “forever punishment” (Mt.25:46).  “God is Love” all genuine affection - that’s him. Christ Crucified appeases the delicate human conscience and psyche, not his anger/wrath, Ro.11:32, which wrath is (surely?) usually cause and effect. Cause and effect universe versus Ant Farm? Not an issue of what God hAs created, but what he iS creating. How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings (both anthropos and angelos) aNd keep paradise/perfection intact? One more thing! As Life, the force, source, and breath of Life, he suffers all that eveR occurs. And endowed thinking ability anyway.}
