1 Corinthians 12:1
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I would not have you ignorant.
1 Corinthians 12:2
You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, even as you were led.
1 Corinthians 12:3
Why I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
1 Corinthians 12:4
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:5
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
1 Corinthians 12:6
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which works all in all.
1 Corinthians 12:7
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit with.
1 Corinthians 12:8
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1 Corinthians 12:9
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
1 Corinthians 12:10
To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
1 Corinthians 12:11
But all these works that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
1 Corinthians 12:12
For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:14
For the body is not one member, but many.
1 Corinthians 12:15
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
1 Corinthians 12:16
And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
1 Corinthians 12:17
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
1 Corinthians 12:18
But now has God set the members every one of them in the body, as it has pleased him.
1 Corinthians 12:19
And if they were all one member, where were the body?
1 Corinthians 12:20
But now are they many members, yet but one body.
1 Corinthians 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.
1 Corinthians 12:22
No, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
1 Corinthians 12:23
And those members of the body, which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
1 Corinthians 12:24
For our comely parts have no need: but God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked.
1 Corinthians 12:25
That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
1 Corinthians 12:26
And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it.
1 Corinthians 12:27
Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
1 Corinthians 12:28
And God has set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
1 Corinthians 12:29
Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
1 Corinthians 12:30
Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
1 Corinthians 12:31
But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I to you a more excellent way.
