7*The Spirit’s presence is shown in some way in each person for the good of all. 8*The Spirit gives one person a message full of wisdom, while to another person the same Spirit gives a message full of knowledge. 9*One and the same Spirit gives faith to one person, while to another person he gives the power to heal. 10*The Spirit gives one person the power to work miracles; to another, the gift of speaking God’s message; and to yet another, the ability to tell the difference between gifts that come from the Spirit and those that do not. To one person he gives the ability to speak in strange tongues, and to another he gives the ability to explain what is said. 11*But it is one and the same Spirit who does all this; as he wishes, he gives a different gift to each person.

NLTNew Living Translation

A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge. The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have.

But in all these things one and the same Spirit is at work, distributing to each one individually just as he wishes.
