- 1. ¶ NOW concerning spiritual gifts, my brethren, I want to remind you
- 2. That once you were pagans, and without exception you were carried away by dumb idols.
- 3. Therefore I want 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 Spirit.
- 4. Now there are diversities of gifts, but there is only one Spirit.
- 5. And there are diversities of ministries, but there is only one Lord.
- 6. And there are diversities of powers, but it is the one God who works all things in all men.
- 7. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every, man as help to him.
- 8. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit.
- 9. To another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
- 10. To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another the means to distinguish the true Spirit; to another different languages; to another the interpretation of languages.
- 11. But all of these gifts are wrought by that one and the same Spirit, dividing to every one severally as he will.
- 12. ¶ For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, even though many, are one body, so also is Christ.
- 13. For all of us are baptized by one Spirit into one body, whether Jews or Arameans, whether bond or free; and we have all received through the one Spirit.
- 14. The body is not one member, but many.
- 15. For if the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I am not a part of the body; is it therefore not a member of the body?
- 16. And if the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I am not a part of the body; is it therefore not a member of the body?
- 17. If the whole body were eyes, where would hearing be? And if the whole were hearing, where would smelling be?
- 18. But now God has set every member in the body, as it has pleased him.
- 19. If they were all one member, where would the body be?
- 20. But now they are many members, yet but one body.
- 21. The eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you; nor can the head say to the feet, I have no need of you.
- 22. But rather those members of the body which are considered to be delicate are necessary.
- 23. And on those members of the body which we think to be less honorable we bestow more abundant honor; and the parts that are uncomely we dress with greater care;
- 24. For our comely parts have no need for attention. But God has so tempered the body together, and has given greater honor to the member which is inferior,
- 25. That there may be no discord in the body, but that they may care one for another, all members should be equal.
- 26. So when one member is in pain, all the members suffer with it; and if one member is honored, all the members will glory with it.
- 27. ¶ Now you are the body of Christ and members in your respective places.
- 28. For God has set in his church, first apostles; after them, prophets; then teachers, then performers of miracles, then those who have the gift of healing, helpers, leaders, and speakers in diverse languages.
- 29. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?
- 30. Have all the gifts of healing? Do all speak in diverse tongues? Or do all interpret?
- 31. But if you are searching for the greater gifts, I will show you a more excellent way.
