What are spiritual gifts?
I doni spirituali sono capacità donate da Dio, distribuite dallo Spirito Santo, per servire gli altri e edificare la chiesa. Non sono distintivi di status, ma strumenti d'amore — dati per il bene comune, non per esibizione personale.

The New Testament lists various gifts — such as teaching, serving, encouraging, leading, mercy, and more (Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 12). They are given ‘for the common good’ (1 Corinthians 12:7), not for personal status.
Paul compares the church to a body: each member has a different function, and all are needed. ‘There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them’ (1 Corinthians 12:4).
Gifts are meant to be used in love — without love, even great gifts are empty (1 Corinthians 13). Every believer has something to contribute to serving others and building up the church.
