    • 14:37

      is gifted with the spirit: All Christians may ask for and receive guidance and help from the holy spirit. (Lu 11:13) Also, Christians with the heavenly calling are anointed with holy spirit. (2Co 1:21, 22) However, this expression applies to one who had received a special, miraculous gift of the holy spirit. The expression is translated from the Greek word pneu·ma·ti·kosʹ, which has the basic sense of “pertaining to the spirit; spiritual.” At 1Co 14:1, it is translated “spiritual gifts.” Here at 1Co 14:37, near the close of his discussion of miraculous gifts, Paul mentions both prophesying and being “gifted with the spirit,” indicating, as in verse 1, that he is still referring to miraculous gifts of the holy spirit.
