80 wam? daaamn! humility is one of the gifts.many are the men who take gifts for granted.i would say that one needs humility to exercise all gifts in the manner they were meant to be used .i.e.for one to be grateful for his eyes you need to be humble to the fact that there are things forbidden to look at and things permissible.only the ignorant would deny that the gift of eyesight is a test.so in order to pass the test on judgment day we need to be able to prove we were truly grateful for the sight by looking at what is acceptable in Gods sight.there can never be a conflict if you are humble.

I would say b, humility. We CANNOT relate to God in any form if we are not humble. Above all, God tells us He wants us to know Him. How can we know Him if we refuse to humble ourselves before Him?
Spirtual gifts are for strengthening the church. Since all spiritual gifts come from God, we cannot hope to use a gift when we refuse to draw close to the Giver.
Peace.

I'd have to say both. You need to exercise your gifts without becoming arrogant and practice humility in such a way that it does not prevent you from using your gifts to serve the world.

oh i think that in exercising any gifts it should only be done with humility anyway
if it is done this way then i am not sure it would conflict
but if it did then humility should override xx

among the gifts GOD gives is one called humility. you either have it to begin with or one learns to develop it.

Hopefully, God gave me humble gifts? :)
I think both are equally important, and should be exercised in unison.

one must be humble to use the gifts God gave to his glory

How dare you use the name of the Holy One in vain! You are not Jesus, and you will surely burn in Hell forever for your sins.
