‘Manifested’ means ‘made visible’ or ‘shown’. 1 Corinthians 12:7 says: ‘Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.’ Paul goes on to describe several spiritual gifts given to Christians in order to build up the church. The Spirit is ‘made visible’ or ‘manifested’ through the people He has filled as they act in service of the church in the areas where He has gifted them.
