able men
Matthew 25:15

1 Corinthians 12:4-11
4
And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit;
5
and there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord;
6
and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God -- who is working the all in all.
7
And to each hath been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit;
8
for to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
9
and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit;
10
and to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another [divers] kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues:
11
and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth.
2 Corinthians 3:6
who also made us sufficient [to be] ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive.
1 Peter 4:11
if any one doth speak -- 'as oracles of God;' if any one doth minister -- 'as of the ability which God doth supply;' that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power -- to the ages of the ages. Amen.
