Greek Commentary for 1 Corinthians 12:6
Late word, here only in N.T., the effect of a thing wrought (from ενεργεω energeō to operate, perform, energize). Paul uses also the late kindred word ενεργεια energeia (Colossians 1:29; Colossians 2:12) for efficiency. [source]
Paul is not afraid to say that God is the Energy and the Energizer of the Universe. “I say that the magnet floats in space by the will of God” (Dr. W. R. Whitney, a world figure in science). This is his philosophic and scientific theory of the Cosmos. No one has shown Paul‘s philosophy and science to be wrong. Here he is speaking only of spiritual gifts and results as a whole, but he applies this principle to the universe Note the Trinity in these verses: the same Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4), the same Lord (Jesus) in 1 Corinthians 12:5, the same God (the Father) in 1 Corinthians 12:6. [source]
Rev., workings. Outward manifestations and results of spiritual gifts. The kindred word ἐνέργεια energyis used only by Paul: and only of superhuman good or evil. Compare Ephesians 1:19; Ephesians 3:7; Colossians 2:12. See on Mark 6:14. [source]
Etymologically akin to operations. See on Mark 6:14; see on James 5:16. [source]
Or them all. The article shows that they are regarded collectively. [source]

Late word, in papyri, in N.T. only here and 2 Corinthians 4:2, from πανεροω phaneroō to make manifest Each instance of the whole (1 Corinthians 12:6) is repeatedly given (διδοται didotai present passive indicative of διδωμι didōmi). [source]
The same word that was used in 1 Corinthians 12:6 of God. [source]
See on Matthew 11:20. Either miracles, as Mark 6:2; 1 Corinthians 12:10, or miraculous powers, as 1 Corinthians 12:6; Philemon 2:13; Ephesians 2:2. The analogy of these latter passages favors the second meaning. [source]
See on 1 Thessalonians 2:13. Rev. omits effectually, but it is fairly implied in the verb. Comp. 1 Corinthians 12:6; Philemon 2:13; Colossians 1:29. The reference is to God, not to Christ. [source]
On the word ενεργων δυναμεις energeō see note on 1 Thessalonians 2:13; note on 1 Corinthians 12:6. It is a great word for God‘s activities (Philemon 2:13). “In you” (Lightfoot) is preferable to “among you” for ενεργεω en humin (1 Corinthians 13:10; Matthew 14:2). The principal verb for “doeth he it” (εν υμιν poiei) is not expressed. Paul repeats the contrast in Galatians 3:2 about “works of the law” and “the hearing of faith.” [source]
