1 Corinthians 12:30

30 have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

1 Corinthians 12:30 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 12:30

Have all the gifts of healing?
&c.] No; when these gifts were in being, all had them not. When anointing with oil, in order to heal the sick, was in use, it was only performed by the elders of the church, not by the common members of it, who were to be sent for by the sick on this occasion:

do all speak with tongues?
no; it was not true in fact, as they well knew; though this was greatly coveted after, as a following chapter of this epistle shows;

do all interpret?
that is, unknown tongues, strange languages; or can they? no. This also was a peculiar gift bestowed on some persons only.

1 Corinthians 12:30 In-Context

28 And some, indeed, did God set in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterwards powers, afterwards gifts of healings, helpings, governings, divers kinds of tongues;
29 [are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all powers?
30 have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 and desire earnestly the better gifts; and yet a far excelling way do I shew to you:
