SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:1–31: Use spiritual gifts to help the church

In this section Paul wrote about different spiritual gifts, or abilities, that the Holy Spirit gives to believers. He listed some of these spiritual gifts and taught that God gave them to us to help the church. He compared the body of Christ with the human body in order to explain that all of the spiritual gifts are important to the church.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Using spiritual gifts

God gives spiritual gifts to each member of the body

About spiritual gifts

Paragraph 12:4–11

All the different kinds of spiritual gifts come from the same Holy Spirit.

12:8–10

These verses list different gifts that God gives to believers through the Holy Spirit. This list shows examples of such gifts. It does not list all the possible gifts. Consider how it is natural to translate a list in your language. In some languages it may be natural to mention the Spirit at the beginning or end of the list only, rather than four times separately.

12:8a

To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom,

To one: The Greek word that the BSB translates as To one introduces an example of one of the gifts. It does not mean that only one person receives this gift.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

To some people

To some of us(incl)

there is given through the Spirit: The clause there is given through the Spirit is in the passive. The implied agent is God. There are two ways to translate this clause:

Use the form that is the most natural in your language.

the message of wisdom: The phrase the message of wisdom refers to a message whose content is wise. The person who receives this gift speaks words that are wise.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

the ability to speak wisely

wise/intelligent words

words that tell about God’s wisdom

12:8b

to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit,

to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit: The Greek does not have a main verb. In some languages it may be necessary to supply a verb. For example:

to another person God gives the message of knowledge by the same Spirit

to another: The phrase to another means “to another person.” It does not mean that only one person receives this gift.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

to another person

to some other people

to others of us(incl)

the message of knowledge: The phrase the message of knowledge refers to a message whose content is knowledge. The person who receives this gift speaks words that help people know new things.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

the ability to speak with knowledge (NCV)

words that give knowledge

In some languages it is necessary to say what is known.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

words that help people to know about God

a message that helps people to know about God’s word/ways/truth

by the same Spirit: The Greek word that the BSB translates as by has the same meaning as “through the Spirit” in 12:8a. There is one Holy Spirit through whom God gives all the gifts.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

by means of the same Spirit

by/through the one Holy Spirit

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ᾧ μὲν & διὰ τοῦ Πνεύματος δίδοται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ᾯ μέν γάρ διά τοῦ Πνεύματος δίδοται λόγος σοφίας ἄλλῳ δέ λόγος γνώσεως κατά τό αὐτό Πνεῦμα)

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses this form to emphasize what is given over who gives it. If you must state who did the action, Paul implies that “God” or the Spirit did it. Alternate translation: [the Spirit gives to one] or [God gives to one through the Spirit]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ᾧ & ἄλλῳ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ᾯ μέν γάρ διά τοῦ Πνεύματος δίδοται λόγος σοφίας ἄλλῳ δέ λόγος γνώσεως κατά τό αὐτό Πνεῦμα)

While Paul specifically refers to one and to another, he is not speaking about just two people. Rather, he is using this form to give two examples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express that Paul is using two examples here with a form in your language that does indicate representative examples, or you could use plural forms here. Alternate translation: [to certain people … to other people]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence -1) λόγος

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ᾯ μέν γάρ διά τοῦ Πνεύματος δίδοται λόγος σοφίας ἄλλῳ δέ λόγος γνώσεως κατά τό αὐτό Πνεῦμα)

Here, word represents what someone says in words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express word with an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [a message … a message]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

λόγος σοφίας

˓a˒_word ˱of˲_wisdom

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind wisdom, you can express the idea in another way. Paul could mean that: (1) the word is characterized by wisdom. Alternate translation: [a wise word] (2) the word gives wisdom to those who hear it. Alternate translation: [a word that makes others wise]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἄλλῳ & λόγος

˱to˲_another & ˓a˒_word

Here Paul omits some words that your language may require to make a complete thought. Paul omits these words because he stated them explicitly in the previous clause (is given). If your language does need these words, you could supply them from that clause. Alternate translation: [to another is given a word]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

λόγος γνώσεως

˓a˒_word ˓a˒_word ˱of˲_knowledge

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind knowledge, you can express the idea in another way. Paul could mean that: (1) the word is characterized by knowledge. Alternate translation: [an enlightened word] (2) the word gives knowledge to those who hear it. Alternate translation: [a word that makes others knowledgeable]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

12:8 God’s Spirit gives supernatural wisdom or knowledge to some believers.
• gives a message of special knowledge: cp. 1:5; 8:1; 13:2, 8.

OET (OET-RV) One person might be given a wise message through the spirit, and someone else given certain knowledge by the same spirit.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
