Which of the following is NOT listed as a Gift of the Spirit?

Gifts of the Spirit are specific empowerments given to believers to build up the church and enable certain ministries. Scripture lists items like a word of wisdom, gifts of healing, and varieties of tongues as such abilities—special powers used to serve others and convey God’s work. Love, however, is described as a fruit of the Spirit—an outcome of the Spirit’s work in a believer’s character, growing as one lives in step with God. It isn’t a special ministry-enabled ability, so it isn’t listed among the Gifts of the Spirit. That’s why Love is the element among the options that isn’t a listed Gift of the Spirit. The other items—Wisdom, Healing, and Tongues—are indeed included as gifts.
