Now concerning
spiritual things
, brothers, I don't
want you to be ignorant
.
Now about
spiritual gifts
, brothers, I do
not
want you to be uninformed
.
You know that when you were heathen
, you were led away
to those
mute idols ,
however
you
might
be
led
.
You know that when you were pagans
, you were influenced
and
led astray
to mute idols.
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.
Therefore I inform
you that no one
who
is
speaking by the
Spirit of
God
says, “
Jesus be
cursed,”
and
no one can say, “
Jesus is Lord, ”
except
by the Holy Spirit.
Now
there are various
kinds
of
gifts, but the same Spirit.
There are different
gifts, but the same Spirit.
There are various
kinds
of
service
, and
the same Lord.
There are different
ministries
, but
the same Lord.
There are various
kinds
of workings
, but the same God ,
who
works all things in all.
There are different
ways
of working
, but the same God works all things in all people
.
But
to each one is
given
the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit
of
all
.
Now
to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is
given
for the common
good
.
For
to one is given through the Spirit the word
of wisdom, and
to another the word
of knowledge ,
according
to
the same Spirit ;
To one there
is given through the Spirit the message
of wisdom, to another the message
of knowledge by
the same Spirit ,
to another faith ,
by the same Spirit ;
and
to another gifts of healings,
by the
same
Spirit ;
to another faith by the same Spirit ,
to another gifts of healing
by that
one
Spirit ,
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
.
to another the
working
of miracles ,
to another prophecy ,
to another distinguishing
between
spirits ,
to another speaking
in
various
tongues,
and to still
another the interpretation of tongues
.
But
the one and the same Spirit works
all
of
these
, distributing
to each one separately
as he desires
.
All
these
are
the work
of
one and the same Spirit, who
apportions
them
to each one as He determines
.
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.
The body is a
unit
, though
it
is
composed
of
many parts.
And although
its
parts
are
many, they
all
form
one body .
So it
is with
Christ.
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.
For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slave
or free ,
and we
were all given one Spirit to
drink
.
For the body is
not one member
, but many.
For the body does
not consist
of
one part
, but of
many.
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.
If the foot should
say, “
Because I
am
not a
hand, I
do
not belong
to
the body, ”
that
would
not make
it
any
less
a
part of the body.
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.
And
if the ear should
say, “
Because I
am
not an
eye, I
do
not belong
to
the body, ”
that
would
not make
it
any
less
a
part of the body.
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing
, where would the smelling
be?
If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense
of
hearing be? If the whole body
were an
ear
, where would the sense
of
smell
be?
But now
God has set
the members, each
one of them, in
the
body,
just
as
he
desired
.
But in
fact,
God has arranged
the members of
the
body
, every
one of them, according
to
His
design
.
If they were all one member
, where would the body be?
If they were all one part
, where would the body be?
But
now
they
are many members
, but one body.
As
it
is,
there
are many parts
, but one body.
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. "
The eye cannot
say
to
the hand, “
I do
not
need you .”
Nor
can
the head say
to the feet, “
I do
not
need you. ”
No,
much
rather
, those
members
of the body which
seem to be weaker are necessary.
On
the
contrary
, the
parts
of the body that
seem to be weaker are indispensable,
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
propriety;
and
the parts
we consider
less honorable, we treat
with
greater
honor .
And our unpresentable parts are
treated
with
special
modesty,
whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together,
giving
more
abundant
honor to the inferior
part
,
whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has
composed the body and
has
given
greater
honor to the parts
that
lacked
it
,
that there should be no division in the body, but that the
members should have the
same
care
for one another.
so
that there should be no division in the body, but that its
members should have mutual
concern
for one another.
When
one member
suffers, all
the
members
suffer
with it .
Or
when
one member
is honored, all
the
members
rejoice
with it.
If
one part
suffers, every
part
suffers
with it ;
if
one part
is honored, every
part
rejoices
with it.
Now you are the body of Christ, and members
individually
.
Now you are the body of Christ, and each
of
you
is
a
member
of
it
.
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
.
And
in the church
God
has
appointed
first of
all
apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of
miracles
, and
those
with
gifts of healing
, helping
, administration
, and various tongues
.
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are
all miracle
workers
?
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do
all work
miracles
?
Do all have gifts of healings
? Do all speak with
various
languages
? Do all interpret?
Do all have gifts of healing
? Do all speak in
tongues
? Do all interpret?
But earnestly
desire the best
gifts. Moreover,
I show a
most excellent way to
you
.
But eagerly
desire the greater
gifts. And
now
I will
show you
the
most excellent way.
