1 Corintios 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 Corintios 12:29 In-Context

27 Pues vosotros sois el cuerpo de Cristo, y miembros en parte.

28 Y á unos puso Dios en la iglesia, primeramente apóstoles, luego profetas, lo tercero doctores; luego facultades; luego dones de sanidades, ayudas, gobernaciones, géneros de lenguas.

29 ¿Son todos apóstoles? ¿son todos profetas? ¿todos doctores? ¿todos facultades?

30 ¿Tienen todos dones de sanidad? ¿hablan todos lenguas? ¿interpretan todos?

31 Empero procurad los mejores dones; mas aun yo os muestro un camino más excelente.
