| Summary: | There is a scholarly debate as to what τών πνευματικών in 1 Cor 12:1 really means. As a result, the phrase has been rendered in various ways: 'spiritual things'; 'spiritual gifts'; 'spiritual persons'; 'spiritual manifestations'. In this paper the writer contends that τών πνευματικών in 1 Cor 12:1 can be translated creatively as 'spiritually-gifted persons'. This rendering has a generic term for Dangme Christians - mumi mi dlominikeni-nimli hi 'spiritually-gifted persons' - which can be used to denote spiritual persons, both male and female. |
