[1] Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant. [2] You know that when you were heathen,§ you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led. [3] Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says, “Jesus is accursed.” No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” but by the Holy Spirit. [4] Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. [5] There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord. [6] There are various kinds of workings, but the same God who works all things in all. [7] But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all. [8] For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit, [9] to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, [10] and to another workings of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of languages, and to another the interpretation of languages. [11] But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires. [12] For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. [13] For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit. [14] For the body is not one member, but many. [15] If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body. [16] If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body. [17] If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be? [18] But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired. [19] If they were all one member, where would the body be? [20] But now they are many members, but one body. [21] The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.” [22] No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. [23] Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant modesty, [24] while our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part, [25] that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. [26] When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. When one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. [27] Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. [28] God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages. [29] Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers? [30] Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret? [31] But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.

Spiritual Gifts

[1] Now G1161 concerning G4012 spiritual G4152 gifts, brethren, G80 I would G2309 not G3756 have G2309 you G5209 ignorant. G50 [2] Ye know G1492 that G3754 ye were G2258 Gentiles, G1484 carried away G520 unto G4314 these G3588 dumb G880 idols, G1497 even as G5613 G302 ye were led. G71 [3] Wherefore G1352 I give G1107 you G5213 to understand, G1107 that G3754 no man G3762 speaking G2980 by G1722 the Spirit G4151 of God G2316 calleth G3004 Jesus G2424 accursed: G331§ and G2532 that no man G3762 can G1410 say G2036 that Jesus G2424 is the Lord, G2962 but G1487 G3361 by G1722 the Holy G40 Ghost. G4151 [4] Now G1161 there are G1526 diversities G1243 of gifts, G5486 but G1161 the G3588 same G846 Spirit. G4151 [5] And G2532 there are G1526 differences G1243 of administrations, G1248§ but G2532 the G3588 same G846 Lord. G2962 [6] And G2532 there are G1526 diversities G1243 of operations, G1755 but G1161 it is G2076 the G3588 same G846 God G2316 which G3588 worketh G1754 all G3956 in G1722 all. G3956 [7] But G1161 the G3588 manifestation G5321 of the G3588 Spirit G4151 is given G1325 to every man G1538 to G4314 profit withal. G4851 [8] For G1063 to one G3739 G3303 is given G1325 by G1223 the G3588 Spirit G4151 the word G3056 of wisdom; G4678 G1161 to another G243 the word G3056 of knowledge G1108 by G2596 the G3588 same G846 Spirit; G4151 [9] to another G2087 G1161 faith G4102 by G1722 the G3588 same G846 Spirit; G4151 to another G243 G1161 the gifts G5486 of healing G2386 by G1722 the G3588 same G846 Spirit; G4151 [10] to another G243 G1161 the working G1755 of miracles; G1411 to another G243 G1161 prophecy; G4394 to another G243 G1161 discerning G1253 of spirits; G4151 to another G2087 G1161 divers kinds G1085 of tongues; G1100 to another G243 G1161 the interpretation G2058 of tongues: G1100 [11] but G1161 all G3956 these G5023 worketh G1754 that G3588 one G1520 and G2532 the G3588 selfsame G846 Spirit, G4151 dividing G1244 to every man G1538 severally G2398 as G2531 he will. G1014 [12] For G1063 as G2509 the G3588 body G4983 is G2076 one, G1520 and G2532 hath G2192 many G4183 members, G3196 and G1161 all G3956 the G3588 members G3196 of that G3588 one G1520 body, G4983 being G5607 many, G4183 are G2076 one G1520 body: G4983 so G3779 also G2532 is Christ. G5547 [13] For G1063 by G1722 one G1520 Spirit G4151 are G907 we G2249 all G3956 baptized G907 into G1519 one G1520 body, G4983 whether G1535 we be Jews G2453 or G1535 Gentiles, G1672§ whether G1535 we be bond G1401 or G1535 free; G1658 and G2532 have been G4222 all G3956 made to drink G4222 into G1519 one G1520 Spirit. G4151 [14] For G1063 the G3588 body G4983 is G2076 not G3756 one G1520 member, G3196 but G235 many. G4183 [15] If G1437 the G3588 foot G4228 shall say, G2036 Because G3754 I am G1510 not G3756 the hand, G5495 I am G1510 not G3756 of G1537 the G3588 body; G4983 G3756 is G2076 it G2076 therefore G3844 G5124 not G3756 of G1537 the G3588 body? G4983 [16] And G2532 if G1437 the G3588 ear G3775 shall say, G2036 Because G3754 I am G1510 not G3756 the eye, G3788 I am G1510 not G3756 of G1537 the G3588 body; G4983 G3756 is G2076 it G2076 therefore G3844 G5124 not G3756 of G1537 the G3588 body? G4983 [17] If G1487 the G3588 whole G3650 body G4983 were an eye, G3788 where G4226 were the G3588 hearing? G189 If G1487 the whole G3650 were hearing, G189 where G4226 were the G3588 smelling? G3750 [18] But G1161 now G3570 hath G5087 God G2316 set G5087 the G3588 members G3196 every G1538 one G1520 of them G846 in G1722 the G3588 body, G4983 as G2531 it hath pleased him. G2309 [19] And G1161 if G1487 they were G2258 all G3956 one G1520 member, G3196 where G4226 were the G3588 body? G4983 [20] But G1161 now G3568 are they many G4183 G3303 members, G3196 yet but G1161 one G1520 body. G4983 [21] And G1161 the eye G3788 cannot G3756 G1410 say G2036 unto the G3588 hand, G5495 I have G2192 no G3756 need G5532 of thee: G4675 nor G2228 again G3825 the G3588 head G2776 to the G3588 feet, G4228 I have G2192 no G3756 need G5532 of you. G5216 [22] Nay, G235 much G4183 more G3123 those G3588 members G3196 of the G3588 body, G4983 which seem G1380 to be G5225 more feeble, G772 are G2076 necessary: G316 [23] and G2532 those G3739 members of the G3588 body, G4983 which G3739 we think G1380 to be G1511 less honourable, G820 upon these G5125 we bestow G4060§ more abundant G4053 honour; G5092 and G2532 our G2257 uncomely G809 parts have G2192 more abundant G4053 comeliness. G2157 [24] For G1161 our G2257 comely G2158 parts have G2192 no G3756 need: G5532 but G235 God G2316 hath tempered G4786 the G3588 body G4983 together, G4786 having given G1325 more abundant G4053 honour G5092 to that G3588 part which lacked: G5302 [25] that G2443 there should be G5600 no G3361 schism G4978§ in G1722 the G3588 body; G4983 but G235 that the G3588 members G3196 should have G3309 the G3588 same G846 care G3309 one G240 for G5228 another. G240 [26] And G2532 whether G1535 one G1520 member G3196 suffer, G3958 all G3956 the G3588 members G3196 suffer with it; G4841 or G1535 one G1520 member G3196 be honoured, G1392 all G3956 the G3588 members G3196 rejoice with it. G4796 [27] Now G1161 ye G5210 are G2075 the body G4983 of Christ, G5547 and G2532 members G3196 in G1537 particular. G3313 [28] And G2532 God G2316 hath set G5087 some G3739 G3303 in G1722 the G3588 church, G1577 first G4412 apostles, G652 secondarily G1208 prophets, G4396 thirdly G5154 teachers, G1320 after that G1899 miracles, G1411 then G1534 gifts G5486 of healings, G2386 helps, G484 governments, G2941 diversities G1085§ of tongues. G1100 [29] G3361 Are all G3956 apostles? G652 G3361 are all G3956 prophets? G4396 G3361 are all G3956 teachers? G1320 G3361 are all G3956 workers§ of miracles? G1411 [30] G3361 Have G2192 all G3956 the gifts G5486 of healing? G2386 G3361 do all G3956 speak G2980 with tongues? G1100 G3361 do all G3956 interpret? G1329 [31] But G1161 covet earnestly G2206 the G3588 best G2909 gifts: G5486 and G2532 yet G2089 shew I G1166 unto you G5213 a more G2596 excellent G5236 way. G3598
