‏ 1 Corinthians 12:9

 Faith ( πιστις ). Not faith of surrender, saving faith, but wonder-working faith like that in 13:2 (Mt 17:20; 21:21). Note here  εν τω αυτω πνευματ (in the same Spirit) in contrast with  δια and  κατα in verse 8.

 Gifts of healings ( χαρισματα ιαματων ).  Ιαμα, old word from  ιαομα, common in LXX, in N.T. only in this chapter. It means acts of healing as in Ac 4:30 (cf. Jas 5:14) and Lu 7:21 (of Jesus). Note  εν here as just before.
