The rhetorical question implies that not every believer possesses the gift of healing, emphasizing the variety and distribution of gifts by the Holy Spirit. Historically, healing was a significant sign of apostolic authority and the presence of God's power, as seen in the ministry of Jesus and the apostles (e.g., <a href="/acts/3-6.htm">Acts 3:6-8</a>). The gift of healing serves to edify the church and confirm the message of the Gospel. This diversity reflects the unity and interdependence of the church, as each member contributes uniquely to the body of Christ.<p><b>Do all speak in tongues?</b><br>Speaking in tongues, or glossolalia, was a prominent spiritual gift in the early church, particularly in Corinth. This gift involved speaking in languages unknown to the speaker, serving as a sign for unbelievers and a means of personal edification (<a href="/1_corinthians/14-22.htm">1 Corinthians 14:22, 4</a>). The question highlights that not all believers are given this gift, countering any notion that speaking in tongues is a universal or necessary sign of spiritual maturity. The cultural context of Corinth, a cosmopolitan city with diverse languages and cultures, may have influenced the prominence and misuse of this gift, prompting Paul's corrective teaching.<p><b>Do all interpret?</b><br>The gift of interpretation of tongues is necessary for the edification of the church when tongues are spoken publicly (<a href="/1_corinthians/14-27.htm">1 Corinthians 14:27-28</a>). This gift allows the message spoken in tongues to be understood by the congregation, ensuring that the church is built up and that worship remains orderly. The question underscores the selective distribution of this gift, reinforcing the idea that the Holy Spirit apportions gifts according to His will (<a href="/1_corinthians/12-11.htm">1 Corinthians 12:11</a>). The need for interpretation aligns with the broader biblical principle of clarity and understanding in worship, as seen in <a href="/nehemiah/8-8.htm">Nehemiah 8:8</a>, where the Law was read and explained to ensure comprehension.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/apostle_paul.htm">Apostle Paul</a></b><br>The author of 1 Corinthians, Paul was addressing the church in Corinth, a diverse and often divided congregation, to instruct them on spiritual gifts and unity within the body of Christ.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/c/corinth.htm">Corinth</a></b><br>A major city in ancient Greece, known for its wealth and immorality.
