The Greek noun energema refers to an activity, working, or operation — especially a supernatural working or effect. It is derived from energeo (G1754, to work/be active) and describes the result or manifestation of divine power in action.
In 1 Corinthians 12:6, energema is used in a trinitarian context: 'There are different kinds of working (energema), but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.' Paul uses it to describe the diverse ways the Spirit's power manifests in different believers, all produced by one God.
Theologically, energema points to God as the ultimate source of all spiritual activity in the church. Gifts and workings are not human achievements but divine operations through human vessels.
