4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God
which worketh all in all.

Passages worth considering in this context:

Romans 8:10 -11And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because
of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness. But if the
Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that
raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies
by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

I Cor 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom
to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all
authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death.
27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all
things are put under [him, it is] manifest that he is excepted, which
did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son
also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that
God may be all in all.

Hebrews 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For
in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing [that is]
not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
