Summary/Abstract: The presentation of the reality related to charisms in Old Testament , The Gospels and Acts of the Apostoles, discussed the primary meaning and occurrence of the words „charism/charisms” in the Bible. Against this background, author draws the direct context of the teaching of charisms by discussing the Corinthian community and First Corinthians. In his analysis, he focuses on the section concerned with spiritual reality (1 Corinthians 12–14), showing various forms of charisms functioning within the Church portrayed as the body of Christ. He captures the connections between charisms and love and also the practise of glossolalia and prophecy. The whole is completed by discussing the analysis of St. Paul’s teaching about charisms made in various articles by Käsemann, R.Y.K. Fung, G.D. Fee, J.D.G. Dunn.G. Barbaglio.
