To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
Some people get the gift of working miracles, others get prophecy. Some can tell the difference between good and evil spirits, others can speak in different spiritual languages, and some can translate those languages for everyone else.
God hands out different superpowers to different people, we're all part of the same incredible team.

Paul wrote his first letter to the Corinthians to correct misunderstandings about spiritual gifts and emphasize their role in unifying the body of Christ. In chapter 12, he lists various gifts given by the Holy Spirit to different believers for the common good of the church.
