Глава 12

  • 1. And concerning the spiritual things, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant;
  • 2. ye have known that ye were nations, unto the dumb idols -- as ye were led -- being carried away;
  • 3. wherefore, I give you to understand that no one, in the Spirit of God speaking, saith Jesus `is' anathema, and no one is able to say Jesus `is' Lord, except in the Holy Spirit.
  • 4. And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit;
  • 5. and there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord;
  • 6. and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God -- who is working the all in all.
  • 7. And to each hath been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit;
  • 8. for to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
  • 9. and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit;
  • 10. and to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another `divers' kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues:
  • 11. and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth.
  • 12. For, even as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also `is' the Christ,
  • 13. for also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all into one Spirit were made to drink,
  • 14. for also the body is not one member, but many;
  • 15. if the foot may say, `Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body;
  • 16. and if the ear may say, `Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body?
  • 17. If the whole body `were' an eye, where the hearing? if the whole hearing, where the smelling?
  • 18. and now, God did set the members each one of them in the body, according as He willed,
  • 19. and if all were one member, where the body?
  • 20. and now, indeed, `are' many members, and one body;
  • 21. and an eye is not able to say to the hand, `I have no need of thee;' nor again the head to the feet, `I have no need of you.'
  • 22. But much more the members of the body which seem to be more infirm are necessary,
  • 23. and those that we think to be less honourable of the body, around these we put more abundant honour, and our unseemly things have seemliness more abundant,
  • 24. and our seemly things have no need; but God did temper the body together, to the lacking part having given more abundant honour,
  • 25. that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another,
  • 26. and whether one member doth suffer, suffer with `it' do all the members, or one member is glorified, rejoice with `it' do all the members;
  • 27. and ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
  • 28. And some, indeed, did God set in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterwards powers, afterwards gifts of healings, helpings, governings, divers kinds of tongues;
  • 29. `are' all apostles? `are' all prophets? `are' all teachers? `are' all powers?
  • 30. have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
  • 31. and desire earnestly the better gifts; and yet a far excelling way do I shew to you:
