12:1 Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not
have you ignorant.
12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these
dumb idols, even as ye were led.
12:3 Wherefore 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.
12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the
same Lord.
12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the
same God which worketh all in all.
12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every
man to profit withal.
12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to
another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the
gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
12:10 To 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:
12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit,
dividing to every man severally as he will.
12:12 For 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.
12:13 For 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.
12:14 For the body is not one member, but many.
12:15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am
not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
12:16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I
am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
12:17 If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the
hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the
smelling?
12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in
the body, as it hath pleased him.
12:19 And if they were all one member, where [were] the body?
12:20 But now [are they] many members, yet but one body.
12:21 And 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.
12:22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to
be more feeble, are necessary:
12:23 And 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.
12:24 For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath
tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour
to that [part] which lacked:
12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but [that]
the members should have the same care one for another.
12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer
with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice
with it.
12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in
particular.
12:28 And 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.
12:29 [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all
teachers? [are] all workers of miracles?
12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with
tongues? do all interpret?
12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto
you a more excellent way.
