I Corinthians 12

¹Now concerning spiritual things, my brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

²You know that when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were led.

³Wherefore, I give you to understand that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say The Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.

⁴Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit.

⁵And there are diversities of ministries. but the same Lord.

⁶And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all.

⁷And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit.

⁸To one indeed, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom: and to another, the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:

⁹To another, faith in the same spirit: to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit:

¹⁰To another the working of miracles: to another, prophecy: to another, the discerning of spirits: to another, diverse kinds of tongues: to another, interpretation of speeches.

¹¹But all these things, one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will.

¹²For as the body is one and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body: So also is Christ.

¹³For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free: and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink.

¹⁴For the body also is not one member, but many.

¹⁵If the foot should say: Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body: Is it therefore not of the Body?

¹⁶And if the ear should say: Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body: Is it therefore not of the body?

¹⁷If the whole body were the eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?

¹⁸But now God hath set the members, every one of them, in the body as it hath pleased him.

¹⁹And if they all were one member, where would be the body?

²⁰But now there are many members indeed, yet one body.

²¹And the eye cannot say to the hand: I need not thy help. Nor again the head to the feet: I have no need of you.

²²Yea, much, more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body are more necessary

²³And such as we think to be the less honourable members of the body, about these we put more abundant honour: and those that are our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

²⁴But our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour.

²⁵That there might be no schism in the body: but the members might be mutually careful one for another.

²⁶And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it: or if one member glory, all the members rejoice with it.

²⁷Now you are the body of Christ and members of member.

²⁸And God indeed hath set some in the church; first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors: after that miracles: then the graces of healings, helps, governments, kinds of tongues, interpretations of speeches.

²⁹Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all doctors?

³⁰Are all workers of miracles? Have all the grace of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

³¹But be zealous for the better gifts. And I shew unto you yet a more excellent way.

I Corinthians 12

¹Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

²Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

³Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

⁴Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

⁵And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

⁶And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

⁷But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

⁸For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

⁹To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

¹⁰To 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:

¹¹But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

¹²For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

¹³For 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.

¹⁴For the body is not one member, but many.

¹⁵If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

¹⁶And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

¹⁷If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

¹⁸But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

¹⁹And if they were all one member, where were the body?

²⁰But now are they many members, yet but one body.

²¹And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

²²Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

²³And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

²⁴For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

²⁵That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

²⁶And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

²⁷Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

²⁸And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

²⁹Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

³⁰Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

³¹But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
