1Cor 12:8, Eph 1:3, 8 | PNT | STEP | To one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom . The ability to reveal divine truth, such as possessed by the apostles. To another the world of knowledge . The aptitude to teach unerringly what has been revealed to the apostles and prophets.

‏ 1 Corinthians 12:8

To one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom. The ability to reveal divine truth, such as possessed by the apostles.

To another the world of knowledge. The aptitude to teach unerringly what has been revealed to the apostles and prophets.

‏ Ephesians 1:3

Blessed [be] the God. The word "eulogetos" rendered "blessed" is one from which our word "eulogize" is derived. It means, therefore, primarily, "to praise". "Praised be the God", etc., gives the idea.

Who hath blessed us. The "blessed" is here from the same root. The word means, as above, "to praise", or to "speak" good things of one; then to "speak" good things to, or bestow blessings, as a secondary meaning. This is the meaning here.

With all spiritual blessings. All came from God, and he has withheld none from those in Christ.

In heavenly [places]. In the kingdom of heaven.

‏ Ephesians 1:8

Wherein he hath abounded toward us. The grace of God. See Eph 1:7.

In all wisdom and prudence. These attributes, ascribed to God, are fully shown in his grace and mercy.
