“Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?”
King James Version (KJV)
12:27 Now ye - Corinthians. Are the body and members of Christ - part of them, I mean, not the whole body.
12:28 First apostles - Who plant the gospel in the heathen nations. Secondly prophets - Who either foretel things to come, or speak by extra - ordinary inspiration, for the edification of the church. Thirdly teachers - Who precede even those that work miracles. Under prophets and teachers are comprised evangelists and pastors, #Eph 4:11|. Helps, governments - It does not appear that these mean distinct offices: rather, any persons might be called helps, from a peculiar dexterity in helping the distressed; and governments, from a peculiar talent for governing or presiding in assemblies.
12:31 Ye covet earnestly the best gifts - And they are worth your pursuit, though but few of you can attain them. But there is a far more excellent gift than all these; and one which all may, yea, must attain or perish.
1Co 12:29 [Are] all apostles? Only a few had this office given them, and so of each of the other gifts.
