12:6 All the work believers do for God is in fact God working through them (see 15:10; 2 Cor 4:7; Gal 2:8; Phil 2:13; cp. Gal 2:20).
The Holy Spirit’s Work
Different New Testament writers emphasized different aspects of the Holy Spirit’s work. John, for example, highlighted the Spirit’s role as teacher and revealer of God’s thoughts and ways (John 14:17, 26; 15:26; 16:13-15; 1 Jn 2:20, 27). Luke focused on the Spirit’s guidance and power for evangelism (Acts 1:8; 4:8-12, 31; 8:29-40; 13:9-12). Paul, meanwhile, provides a comprehensive view of the Spirit’s work.
According to Paul, God gives his Holy Spirit to all who come into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ (1 Cor 6:19; Gal 3:2-5; Eph 1:13-14). The Spirit brings new life in Christ. He affirms believers’ salvation (1 Cor 6:11; 2 Thes 2:13) and their identity as children of God (Rom 8:9, 14-17).
The Holy Spirit gives Christians power over sin (Rom 8:1-4), power to live a fruitful life (Gal 5:22-23), and power for ministry (1 Cor 12:1-31). Believers are to be continuously “filled with the Holy Spirit” (Eph 5:18), and though they experience the conflict between the flesh and the Spirit, they can please God by yielding to the Spirit’s guidance and power (Gal 5:16-18).
The Holy Spirit enables Christians to understand God’s thoughts and ways (1 Cor 2:9-16). He gives spiritual gifts to believers to help the church grow (12:1-31). The Spirit leads and empowers worship as believers use the gifts that the Spirit has given them (14:26-33, 39-40).
The Spirit guarantees that believers will receive all the blessings that God has promised (2 Cor 1:21-22; 5:1-5; Eph 1:13-14). The Spirit helps believers and prays for them in their human weakness (Rom 8:26-27). And the goal of the Spirit’s work is to make believers like Christ (Rom 8:28-29).

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
διαιρέσεις ἐνεργημάτων
divisions ˱of˲_actions
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind varieties, you can express the idea by using an adjective such as “various” or “different.” Alternate translation: [various workings] or [different workings]
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
ἐνεργημάτων
˱of˲_actions
Here, workings refers to “activities” or “actions,” that is, doing things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express workings with a word or phrase that refers generally to “doing things.” Alternate translation: [of activities] or [of ways to do things]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὁ αὐτὸς Θεός
the same God
Here Paul omits some words that your language may require to make a complete thought. Paul implies that it is the same God who empowers the varieties of workings. If your readers would not infer that information, and if your language requires these words to make a complete thought, you could supply them. Alternate translation: [it is the same God]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν
the_‹things› all in all
Here, all things in everyone could refer: (1) specifically to all gifts, ministries, and workings that God is working in everyone who believes. Alternate translation: [each of these things in each person] (2) generally to how God is working all things in “everything and everyone.” Alternate translation: [everything in everyone] or [all things in every situation]
