Romans 12:6
Having then gifts. Each in the church had his duties, just as the
hand, or foot, or eye of the body. These duties were indicated by the
"gift" dealt out by "the measure of faith".
Differing according to the grace that is given to us. Compare
Romans 12:3. One gift was given to one, as he was seen to be fitted
for it, and another gift to another. Seven gifts are now spoken of in
succession. The first four are official, and some of them are
extraordinary.
Prophecy. To prophesy was to speak by inspiration. As the early
church did not yet have the New Testament, many were thus inspired to
speak. One would be called to this work.
