<p>12:9 <i>To another faith through the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings through the same one Spirit</i>- &quot;Faith&quot; may mean just that- the Spirit gives internal spiritual power to believe, once we have taken the step of faith and baptism. But <i>pistos</i> can also reasonably be translated 'conviction'; perhaps the reference is to the Spirit power to convict others of sin, as Peter displayed with Ananias and Sapphira, and which may have been used to smite some with illness as mentioned in James 5. Paul likewise appears to have used it in Acts 13:10. The plural &quot;healings&quot; suggests there were different gifts to heal different illnesses. See on :10.</p>
