Greek text · Dindorf 4:206

καὶ ἐν ἑτέρω δὲ τόπῳ ὁ αὐτὸς γράφει καθὼς καὶ “πολλῶν ἀκούομεν ἀδελφῶν ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ “τικὰ χαρίσματα ἐχόντων, καὶ παντοδαπαῖς λαλούν- “των διὰ τοῦ πνεύματος γλώσσαις, καὶ τὰ κρύφια “τῶν ἀνθρώπων εἰς φανερὸν ἀγόντων ἐπὶ τῷ καὶ τὰ μυστήρια τοῦ θεοῦ ἐκδιηγουμένων. ταῦτα καὶ περὶ τοῦ διαφορὰς χαρισμάτων μέχρι καὶ τῶν δηλουμένων χρόνων παρὰ τοῖς ἀξίοις διαμεῖναι.

English · Claude translation

And in another place the same writer says: “As we also hear of many brothers in the church who have prophetic gifts, and speak through the Spirit in all kinds of tongues, and bring to light the hidden things of men for their good, and expound the mysteries of God.” So much on the fact that varieties of gifts continued among the worthy until the times in question.
