JETS 43:1 (March 00) p. 44 relationship between χάρισμα and χάρις. 40 Rom 12:6–7, 1 Cor 1:4–7, and also 1 Pet 4:10 all contextually link χάρισμα to χάρις. 41 The semantic range of χάρις itself is not limited to Paul’s soteriological formulations, but, among other uses, sometimes refers to “the particular ministry or service to which grace/Spirit inspires and which grace/power enables …” 42 As χάρισμα is used in contexts about ministries (see discussion below), so also sometimes is χάρις.
