As I studied a bit the terms charisma/charismata, I noticed another word that is sometimes used similarly in the New Testament: charis. We typically translate charis as grace, yet there are some instances in the New Testament when it seems to be a ministry.

Like Romans 15:15-16

But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Or, in the passages we read in this study, Ephesians 4:7, which precedes a discussion of different roles in the body of Christ:

But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

There’s even a hint of this meaning in Romans 12:6

Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith;

Doesn’t add a lot to this study, but I find it interesting.
