These lists are probably not exhaustive, but are rather meant to be representative examples of how God fits the Church to accomplish the work of the ministry. These gifts are bestowed upon the body for the edification of the whole body, not merely for the enjoyment of individual members possessing them (I Cor. 12:7; 14:5,12). No one has all the gifts, nor is any one bestowed upon all people.  Everyone needs each other.  However, some qualities or activities are expected of everyone, i.e., faith, service (12:14-21; 28-30). Although not equally visible, all the gifts are important (12:22-26). The Holy Spirit apportions the various gifts to whom and as he wills (12:11).
