Moroni 10:11

Brant Gardner

The parallels are created by the repeated phrase “and to another.” The shortness of these two phrases had them placed in the same sentence, even though they are two separate gifts.

These gifts parallel “great faith,” and “gifts of healing.” Acts 14:8-9 speaks of a cripple: “The same heard Paul speak: who steadfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith the be healed.” Faith and healing are linked, and certainly “great faith” could include the faith to heal, or to be healed. Faith operates for both the giver and the recipient.
