[1] {judge}
Self-judgment is not so much the believer's moral condemnation of his
own ways or habits, or of himself, for allowing such ways.
Self-judgment avoids chastisement. If neglected, the Lord judges,
and the result is chastisement, but never condemnation

[2] {spiritual gifts}
The word pneumatika, lit. "spirituals," i.e. matters of or from the
Holy Spirit, gives the key to Chapters 12., 13., 14. Chapter 12.
concerns the Spirit in relation to the body of Christ. This relation
is twofold: (1) The baptism with the Spirit forms the body by uniting
believers to Christ the risen and glorified Head, and to each other
(vs 12,13). The symbol of the body thus formed is the natural, human
body (v. 12), and all the analogies are freely used (vs 14-26). (2)
To each believer is given a spiritual enablement and capacity for
specific service. No believer is destitute of such gift (vs 7, 11,
27), but in their distribution the Spirit acts in free sovereignty
(v. 11). There is no room for self-choosing, and Christian service
is simply the ministry of such gift as the individual may have
received (cf)
# Ro 12:4-8
The gifts are diverse (vs. 6, 8-10, 28-30), but all are equally
honourable because bestowed by the same Spirit, administered under the
same Lord, and energized by the same God.
