Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.There are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all.But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the same Spirit;and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; to another different kinds of languages; and to another the interpretation of languages.But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.

I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first,‘ How much do you owe to my lord?’He said,‘ A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him,‘ Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’Then he said to another,‘ How much do you owe?’ He said,‘ A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him,‘ Take your bill, and write eighty.’“ His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.
