1 Coríntios 12
Theodoret of Cyrus · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
1 Coríntios 12:1
In former times those who accepted the divine preaching and who were baptized for their salvation were given visible signs of the grace of the Holy Spirit at work in them. Some spoke in tongues which they did not know and which nobody had taught them, while others performed miracles or prophesied. The Corinthians also did these things, but they did not use the gifts as they should have done. They were more interested in showing off than in using them for the edification of the church. — COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 240
1 Coríntios 12:3
There is no disharmony between the teaching of the only begotten Son and that of the Holy Spirit. In the Gospels, Christ the Lord taught us how great the Holy Spirit is, and the Spirit has proclaimed his lordship. No one who is truly moved by the Spirit can say that Christ is not divine. — COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 242
1 Coríntios 12:7
Even in our time grace is given to those who are deemed worthy of holy baptism, but it may not take the same form as it did in those days. — COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 243

These gifts were given to women as well as men, as the Acts of the Apostles makes plain. — COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 245
1 Coríntios 12:11
Here Paul is comforting those who received the lesser gifts, pointing out that they too come from the Holy Spirit. — COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 246
1 Coríntios 12:12
Paul is pointing out that just as the body has many members, some of which are more important than others, so it is with the church also. But every member is necessary and useful. — COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 246
1 Coríntios 12:17
Even if the body had only its most important member, it would still be useless without the others. — COMMENTARY ON THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 247
