Commentary
every--"even as each man hath received," in whatever degree, and of whatever kind. The Spirit's gifts (literally, "gift of grace," that is, gratuitously bestowed) are the common property of the Christian community, each Christian being but a steward for the edifying of the whole, not receiving the gift merely for his own use. minister the same--not discontentedly envying or disparaging the gift of another. one to another--Greek as in Pe1 4:8, "towards yourselves"; implying that all form but one body, and in seeking the good of other members they are promoting the good of themselves. stewards--referring to Mat 25:15, &c.; Luk 19:13-26.
