f [helps] Greek: antilempsis (GSN-<G484>), a support; help; succourer; an aid.
Only in 1Cor. 12:28 and refers to every kind of help God sets in the church. It
cannot be limited to the work of deacons and deaconesses, as some teach, for there
were other helps beside these (Rom. 16:3, 9 ; 1Cor. 16:16; 2Cor. 1:11,24).
g [governments] Greek: kubernesis (GSN-<G2941>), a steering; piloting; guiding.
Used only here and refers to all the means of guidance God has set in the church. It
has no reference to power to rule, but to men and women of extraordinary wisdom,
knowledge, and discernment to guide the church in all its problems. The gifts of
wisdom, knowledge, and discernment of spirits are all involved in this ability of
guidance.
