Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Faith (pistiv). Not faith of surrender, saving faith, but wonder-working faith like that in I Corinthians 13:2 (Matthew 17:20; Matthew 21:21). Note here en tw autw pneumati (in the same Spirit) in contrast with dia and kata in verse I Corinthians 12:8.
Gifts of healings (xarismata iamatwn). Iama, old word from iaomai, common in LXX, in N.T. only in this chapter. It means acts of healing as in Acts 4:30 (cf. James 5:14) and Luke 7:21 (of Jesus). Note en here as just before.
