1 Corinthians 12:1
Now concerning the spiritual things, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.
1 Corinthians 12:2
Ye know that, while Gentiles, ye were being carried away to the voiceless idols, as ye were led.
1 Corinthians 12:3
Therefore I make known to you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God says, Jesus is accursed, and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:4
Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:5
And there are varieties of services, and the same Lord.
1 Corinthians 12:6
And there are varieties of functions, but it is the same God who works all in all.
1 Corinthians 12:7
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each man toward that which is beneficial.
1 Corinthians 12:8
For to one, the word of wisdom is given through the Spirit, and to another, the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
1 Corinthians 12:9
to a different man, faith by the same Spirit, and to another, gifts of healings by the same Spirit,
1 Corinthians 12:10
and to another, workings of miracles, and to another, prophecy, and to another, discerning of spirits, and to a different man, kinds of tongues, and to another, the interpretation of tongues.
1 Corinthians 12:11
But the one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each man individually as it wills.
1 Corinthians 12:12
For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:13
For also by one Spirit we are all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or freemen, and we were all made to drink into one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:14
For the body also is not one part, but many.
1 Corinthians 12:15
If the foot should say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, it is not by this not of the body.
1 Corinthians 12:16
And if the ear should say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, it is not by this not of the body.
1 Corinthians 12:17
If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?
1 Corinthians 12:18
But now God has placed the parts, each one of them, in the body just as he intended.
1 Corinthians 12:19
And if they were all one part, where would be the body?
1 Corinthians 12:20
But now of course there are many body-parts, but one body.
1 Corinthians 12:21
And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
1 Corinthians 12:22
Instead, much more the parts of the body that seem to be more feeble are necessary.
1 Corinthians 12:23
And those things of the body presumed to be without esteem, we place around these more abundant worth. And our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety,
1 Corinthians 12:24
whereas our presentable parts have no need. Instead, God united the body together, having given more abundant worth to the part that lacks,
1 Corinthians 12:25
so that there would be no schisms in the body, but that the parts would have the same care for each other.
1 Corinthians 12:26
And if one part suffers, all the parts suffer together, or one part is honored, all the parts rejoice together.
1 Corinthians 12:27
Now ye are the body of Christ, and body-parts individually.
1 Corinthians 12:28
And in the church God has placed men who are first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, kinds of tongues.
1 Corinthians 12:29
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all do miracles?
1 Corinthians 12:30
Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
1 Corinthians 12:31
But be zealous for the better gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.
