1 Coríntios 12:29 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 12:29

Are all apostles?
&c.] No some are prophets, as distinct from apostles; and some are teachers, as distinct from them both, and some are neither: are all prophets?
no; some are apostles, above them, and some are teachers, inferior to them; and but very few there were who had that peculiar character and gift: are all teachers?
no; the far greater part of the members of churches are hearers, or persons that are taught in the word; are neither in the office of teaching, nor have they the qualifications for it. Are all workers of miracles?
no; in those early times, when the gift of doing miracles was bestowed, it was not given to all, only to some; and now there are none that are possessed of it.

1 Coríntios 12:29 In-Context

27 Ora, vós sois corpo de Cristo, e individualmente seus membros.

28 E a uns pôs Deus na igreja, primeiramente apóstolos, em segundo lugar profetas, em terceiro mestres, depois operadores de milagres, depois dons de curar, socorros, governos, variedades de línguas.

29 Porventura são todos apóstolos? são todos profetas? são todos mestres? são todos operadores de milagres?

30 Todos têm dons de curar? falam todos em línguas? interpretam todos?

31 Mas procurai com zelo os maiores dons. Ademais, eu vos mostrarei um caminho sobremodo excelente.
