On the other side the inferior sort envied the better, and went about to make a departure, so that all the body was as it were scatted and rent in pieces. So then, going about to remedy these abuses he wills them first to consider diligently that they have not these gifts of themselves, but from the free grace and liberality of God, to whose glory they ought to bestow them all.(:note) concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you Ignorant to what purpose these gifts are given to you. ignorant.
