As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

Every - `even as each received,' in whatever degree, and of whatever kind. The Spirit's gifts [ charisma (G5486), 'a gift of grace' - i:e., gratuitous] are the common property of the Christian community, each being but a steward for edifying the whole; not receiving the gift merely for himself.

Minister the same - not discontentedly envying or disparaging the gift of another.

One to another - Greek as 1 Peter 4:8, 'toward yourselves:' all form one body; in seeking the good of other members they are promoting the good of themselves.

Stewards - (Matthew 25:15, etc.; Luke 19:13)
