8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit,

9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,

10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
