1 Cor. 14:5,12,17,19,22‑26• 5Now I desire that ye should all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy. But greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.
 12Thus *ye* also, since ye are desirous of spirits, seek that ye may abound for the edification of the assembly.
 17For *thou* indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
 19but in the assembly I desire to speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.
 22So that tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to unbelievers; but prophecy, not to unbelievers, but to those who believe.
 23If therefore the whole assembly come together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and simple persons enter in, or unbelievers, will not they say ye are mad?
 24But if all prophesy, and some unbeliever or simple person come in, he is convicted of all, he is judged of all;
 25the secrets of his heart are manifested; and thus, falling upon his face, he will do homage to God, reporting that God is indeed amongst you.
 26What is it then, brethren? whenever ye come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to edification. (1 Cor. 14:5,12,17,19,22‑26)

Matt. 25:14‑30• 14For it is as if a man going away out of a country called his own bondmen and delivered to them his substance.
 15And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each according to his particular ability, and immediately went away out of the country.
 16And he that had received the five talents went and trafficked with them, and made five other talents.
 17In like manner also he that had received the two, he also gained two others.
 18But he that had received the one went and dug in the earth, and hid the money of his lord.
 19And after a long time the lord of those bondmen comes and reckons with them.
 20And he that had received the five talents came to him and brought five other talents, saying, My lord, thou deliveredst me five talents; behold, I have gained five other talents besides them.
 21His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter into the joy of thy lord.
 22And he also that had received the two talents came to him and said, My lord, thou deliveredst me two talents; behold, I have gained two other talents besides them.
 23His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
 24And he also that had received the one talent coming to him said, My lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hadst not sowed, and gathering from where thou hadst not scattered,
 25and being afraid I went away and hid thy talent in the earth; behold, thou hast that which is thine.
 26And his lord answering said to him, Wicked and slothful bondman, thou knewest that I reap where I had not sowed, and gather from where I had not scattered;
 27thou oughtest then to have put my money to the money-changers, and when I came I should have got what is mine with interest.
 28Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that has the ten talents:
 29for to every one that has shall be given, and he shall be in abundance; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.
 30And cast out the useless bondman into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. (Matt. 25:14‑30)

Rom. 12:6‑8• 6But having different gifts, according to the grace which has been given to us, whether it be prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
 7or service, let us occupy ourselves in service; or he that teaches, in teaching;
 8or he that exhorts, in exhortation; he that gives, in simplicity; he that leads, with diligence; he that shews mercy, with cheerfulness. (Rom. 12:6‑8)

Eph. 4:7‑12• 7But to each one of us has been given grace according to the measure of the gift of the Christ.
 8Wherefore he says, Having ascended up on high, he has led captivity captive, and has given gifts to men.
 9But that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
 10He that descended is the same who has also ascended up above all the heavens, that he might fill all things;
 11and *he* has given some apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some shepherds and teachers,
 12for the perfecting of the saints; with a view to the work of the ministry, with a view to the edifying of the body of Christ; (Eph. 4:7‑12)
;
1 Peter 4:10‑11• 10each according as he has received a gift, ministering it to one another, as good stewards of the various grace of God.
 11If any one speak--as oracles of God; if any one minister--as of strength which God supplies; that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the might for the ages of ages. Amen. (1 Peter 4:10‑11)
• Here it is simply power, and men are told in certain cases to be silent, when the power was there; it was the Holy Spirit working as power. In Ephesians 4 it is Christ’s care as Head of the body. No gifts which are signs of power to others are mentioned; only what founds the assembly, edifies the saints, and builds the assembly up. (“1 Corinthians 12” by J.N. Darby)
• Here the apostle is treating strictly of the church: to each within it is the manifestation of the Spirit given, and that with a view to the common good, not for personal influence or display. (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 12:7-13” by W. Kelly)
