Paul does two things here. So as he restates verse 11 in verse 12 he adds that he, too, and not just they, is going to be helped when they meet. That is the first thing he does. It is activated from faith in us and aims for faith in another. It is helpful to me to think about spiritual gifts in this way because it keeps me from simply equating them with natural abilities.
Many unbelievers have great abilities in teaching and in administration, for example.
And these abilities are God-given whether the people recognize this or not. This has tremendous implications for how we choose church staff and church officers and board members. A church where the Holy Spirit is alive and powerful will be a church very sensitive to the difference between natural abilities and spiritual gifts. I will only draw your attention to two things. First, I believe this text confirms the earlier point that we shouldn't get too lathered up about whether we can label our gifts or not.
