All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines — Paul returns to unity: the one Spirit (to hen pneuma) distributes the diverse gifts according to his own will (diairōn), not human preference or effort; the Spirit's sovereignty prevents both envy (you got a better gift) and pride (I earned my gift).
