1 Corinthians 12:1
|
And concerning the spiritual things, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant;
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:2
|
ye have known that ye were nations, unto the dumb idols -- as ye were led -- being carried away;
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:3
|
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.
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:4
|
And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit;
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:5
|
and there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord;
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:6
|
and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God -- who is working the all in all.
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:7
|
And to each hath been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit;
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:8
|
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;
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:9
|
and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit;
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:10
|
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:
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:11
|
and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth.
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:12
|
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,
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:13
|
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,
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:14
|
for also the body is not one member, but many;
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:15
|
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;
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:16
|
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?
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:17
|
If the whole body [were] an eye, where the hearing? if the whole hearing, where the smelling?
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:18
|
and now, God did set the members each one of them in the body, according as He willed,
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:19
|
and if all were one member, where the body?
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:20
|
and now, indeed, [are] many members, and one body;
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:21
|
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.'
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:22
|
But much more the members of the body which seem to be more infirm are necessary,
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:23
|
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,
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:24
|
and our seemly things have no need; but God did temper the body together, to the lacking part having given more abundant honour,
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:25
|
that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another,
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:26
|
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;
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:27
|
and ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:28
|
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;
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:29
|
[are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all powers?
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:30
|
have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
|
|
1 Corinthians 12:31
|
and desire earnestly the better gifts; and yet a far excelling way do I shew to you:
