And again, I exhort you, my brethren, that ye deny not the gifts of God, for they are many; and they come from the same God. And there are different ways that these gifts are administered; but it is the same God who worketh all in all; and they are given by the manifestations of the Spirit of God unto men, to profit themat first i read the word "administered" as "manifested", but maybe it is talking about the act of god giving the gift to someone?...
i'm not labelling this as a question, it is more just food for thought. its not something i lose sleep over (that is not a metaphor btw =)
