The Greek word “diaireo”

Limited to Lk. 15:12; 1 Cor. 12:11, the Greek verb “diaireo” meant “divide” or “distribute.”  A father “divided” out his living to his sons (Lk. 15:12).  In 1 Cor. 12:11 Paul used this term to describe the “distribution” of supernatural gifts from the Holy Spirit in the first century.
