12:1–14:40 The church at Corinth had placed too much emphasis on the gift of tongues (see 14:1-25, 27; cp. the lists in 12:8-10, 28, where Paul places tongues last), so Paul gives corrective advice regarding the value and use of spiritual gifts. 12:1-3 Paul introduces the topic, emphasizing the active presence of the Holy Spirit in believers.
