And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
There are so many different ways things get done, but it's the same God working through everything and everyone.
Different methods, same source, God's behind it all.
📚 Historical Context

This teaching was essential in a society influenced by Greek philosophy and Roman practices, where differences could easily lead to fragmentation.
