Chapter 12

1


 

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

 

 

-

2


 

  Ye know that when ye were Gentiles [ye were] led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might led.  

 

 

-

3


 

  Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit.  

 

 

-

4


 

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

 

 

-

5


 

  And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord.  

 

 

-

6


 

  And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all.  

 

 

-

7


 

  But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.  

 

 

-

8


 

  For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:  

 

 

-

9


 

  to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;  

 

 

-

10


 

  and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:  

 

 

-

11


 

  but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.  

 

 

-

12


 

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

 

 

-

13


 

  For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.  

 

 

-

14


 

  For the body is not one member, but many.  

 

 

-

15


 

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

 

 

-

16


 

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

 

 

-

17


 

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

 

 

-

18


 

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

 

 

-

19


 

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

 

 

-

20


 

  But now they are many members, but one body.  

 

 

-

21


 

  And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.  

 

 

-

22


 

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

 

 

-

23


 

  and those [parts] of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness;  

 

 

-

24


 

  whereas our comely [parts] have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that [part] which lacked;  

 

 

-

25


 

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

 

 

-

26


 

  And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or [one] member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.  

 

 

-

27


 

  Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.  

 

 

-

28


 

  And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, [divers] kinds of tongues.  

 

 

-

29


 

  Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all [workers of] miracles?  

 

 

-

30


 

  have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?  

 

 

-

31


 

  But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you.
