1Cr 12:1 |
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant:
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:2 |
You know that [fn] you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led.
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:3 |
Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:4 |
There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:5 |
There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:6 |
And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:7 |
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit [of all]:
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:8 |
for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit,
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:9 |
to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same [fn] Spirit,
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:10 |
to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another [different] kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:11 |
But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:12 |
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] Christ.
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:13 |
For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free--and have all been made to drink into [fn] one Spirit.
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:14 |
For in fact the body is not one member but many.
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:15 |
If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body?
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:16 |
And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body?
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:17 |
If the whole body [were] an eye, where [would be] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [would be] the smelling?
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:18 |
But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:19 |
And if they [were] all one member, where [would] the body [be]?
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:20 |
But now indeed [there are] many members, yet one body.
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:21 |
And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:22 |
No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:23 |
And those [members] of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable [parts] have greater modesty,
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:24 |
but our presentable [parts] have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that [part] which lacks it,
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:25 |
that there should be no schism in the body, but [that] the members should have the same care for one another.
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:26 |
And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with [it]; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with [it].
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:27 |
Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:28 |
And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:29 |
[Are] all apostles? [Are] all prophets? [Are] all teachers? [Are] all workers of miracles?
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:30 |
Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
|
  
  
|
1Cr 12:31 |
But earnestly desire the best [fn] gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.
