Multiplication is the inverse operation of division.

‭‭Qorintiyim Aleph (1 Corinthians)‬ ‭12:1‭-‬31‬ ‭

[1] And concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant. [2] You know that you were nations, led away to the dumb idols, even as you might be led. [3] Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of Elohim says יהושע is a curse, and no one is able to say that יהושע is Master except by the Set-apart Spirit. [4] And there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. [5] There are different kinds of services, but the same Master. [6] And there are different kinds of workings, but it is the same Elohim who is working all in all. [7] And to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profiting, [8] for to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit, [9] and to another belief by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit, [10] and to another operations of powers, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, and to another kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues. [11] But one and the same Spirit works all these, distributing to each one individually as He intends. [12] For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is the Messiah. [13] For indeed by one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Yehuḏim or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink into one Spirit. [14] For indeed the body is not one member but many. [15] If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” does it therefore not belong to the body? [16] And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” does it therefore not belong to the body? [17] If all the body was an eye, where would be the hearing? If all hearing, where would be the smelling? [18] But now Elohim has set the members, each one of them, in the body, even as He pleased. [19] And if they all had been one member, where would the body be? [20] And now, there are indeed many members, but one body. [21] And an eye is unable to say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” [22] But much rather, those members of the body which are thought to be weaker are necessary. [23] And to those of the body which we think to be less respected, these we present greater respect. And our unseemly members have greater seemliness, [24] whereas our seemly members have no need. But Elohim blended together the body, having given greater respect to that member which lacks it, [25] that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same concern one for another. [26] And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is esteemed, all the members rejoice with it. [27] And you are a body of Messiah, and members individually. [28] And Elohim has appointed these in the assembly: firstly emissaries, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, ministrations, kinds of tongues. [29] Are all emissaries? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? [30] Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? [31] But earnestly seek the better gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.
