| The Maintenance Gifts
These gifts are not listed in Ephesians 4, but are found in other New Testament writings of Paul and Peter. See the chart, “Ephesians Appendix: References to Spiritual Gifts in Scripture”, for the passages that list the spiritual gifts. The maintenance gifts include:
1. The gift of wisdom (1 Corinthians 12:8)—the ability to understand how God’s truth applies to specific, practical situations. A person with the gift of wisdom can apply any truth—scriptural truth, spiritual truth, or even secular truth—to life’s problems and opportunities and produce healthy, godly results. People with the gift of wisdom are generally looked to for wise counsel by other believers. They make excellent additions to church boards, corporate boards, legislatures and cabinets, and other decision-making bodies.
