Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 12:1

1 NOw concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant .

The word Gifts is not in the Greek, but supplied by our Interpreters. In the Greek is no more than concerning spirituals; which is equally applicable to spiritual Offices, or Ministrations; Operations, and Gifts: of all which he afterward treateth something, but mostly concerning Gifts, which are chiefly spoken of in this Chapter: and our Translators agree with the best Interpreters, in supplying the Text with the word Gifts. This Church eminently abounded in these abilities to spiritual actions given them of God (for spiritual Gifts signifies nothing else) and as they abounded in them, so they erred much in the abuse or ill use of them, as we shall afterward read in this Chapter: Therefore the Apostle tells them, that as to them, he would not have them ignorant, either of the favour of God in enriching them with them, as he had said Chap. 1.5. or yet in the due and right use of them, so as God might have glory from their good use of them; or of the errours that they had ran into, or might further run into in the ill use of them.
