In 1 Corinthians 12:4–11, the diverse workings of the Holy Spirit in the individual members of the congregation of Jesus Christ are described. This very word is like a mirror in which we can look at ourselves to determine how we stand. Here we read in verse 7: "But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal."

Every child of God is taken hold of by the work of the Holy Spirit and to all of them the revelation of the Spirit has been granted so that all may benefit. From verse 8, we find the ninefold work of the Holy Spirit described, which is revealed in the unfolding of the nine spiritual gifts. In verse 11 it says: "But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will." It is the biblical testimony that everyone who belongs to the congregation of Jesus Christ partakes in the work of the Holy Spirit.
