(αντιλήμψεις, antilḗmpseis, 1 Corinthians 12:28):

In classical Greek the word antilēmpsis means “remuneration,” the hold one has on something, then perception, apprehension. But in Biblical Greek it has an altruistic meaning. Thus, it is used in the Septuagint, both in the Old Testament Scriptures and in the Apocrypha (Psalm 22:19; Psalm 89:19; 1 Esdras 8:27; 2 Maccabees 15:7). Thus, we obtain a clue to its meaning in our text, where it has been usually understood as referring to the deacons, the following word kubernḗseis, translated “governments,” being explained as referring to the presbyters.

(1 Corinthians 12:28) may refer to help (i.e., by interpretation) given to him who speaks with tongues, or more probably simply help which Christians can render to one another, such as caring for the poor and needy, etc.
