Quick answer

To another is given faith, and to another gifts of healing, all by the same Spirit. The Spirit distributes diverse gifts as he wills.

Overview

Paul continues the list with 'faith,' likely a special trust for particular works, and 'gifts of healings,' for restoring the sick. Each is given by the one Spirit. The varied gifts display the Spirit's generosity and sovereignty, and their diversity is meant to knit the body together in mutual service for the glory of Christ.
