Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 12:7

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal .

He here calleth Gifts, the manifestation of the Spirit, partly to let them know, that these powers flowed from the holy Spirit apparently, they having no such powers while they were Heathens, and carried after dumb Idols, as they were led; and partly to let all know, that these gifts and powers were evident proofs both of Christs Ascension, and of the Promise of the Father, and of Christ in sending the holy Spirit, Acts 1.4. and 16.7, 8. Eph. 4.8.

These gifts he tells them were given to every one, where every signifieth each one; for the same gifts or powers were not given to all, but to those to whom they were given, they were given not to puff them up, or to give them matter to boast of, but to do good withal to the Church of Christ. No man hath any power or gift given him of God, either for his own hurt, or the hurt of others▪ but only for his own good, and the good of others.
