Wesley's Notes for 1 Corinthians 12:1

12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts - The abundance of these in the churches of Greece strongly refuted the idle learning of the Greek philosophers. But the Corinthians did not use them wisely, which occasioned St. Paul's writing concerning them. He describes, The unity of the body, #1Cor 12:1 |- 27: The variety of members and offices, #1Cor 12:27 |- 30: The way of exercising gifts rightly, namely, by love, #1Cor 12:31|, #1Cor 13:1|. throughout: and adds, A comparison of several gifts with each other, in the #1Cor 14:1|. fourteenth chapter.
