But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

Study Note
The declaration that spiritual gifts are distributed by 'that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will' establishes divine sovereignty rather than human strategy as the governing principle of charismatic distribution. The verse concludes a section (verses 4-11) that three times asserts unity of source (one Spirit, one Lord, one God) behind the diversity of gifts — a Trinitarian grammar of charismata that grounds ecclesial diversity in the divine life itself. The phrase 'as he will' (kathos bouletai) attributes personal will to the Spirit, supporting the full personhood of the Spirit against any tendency to treat him as an impersonal force. Romans 12:6 ('having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us') and 1 Peter 4:10 ('as every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another') develop the same diversity-in-unity theology.
