Chapter 12

1


 

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

 

 

-

2


 

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

 

 

-

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 Spirit.  

 

 

-

4


 

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

 

 

-

5


 

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

 

 

-

6


 

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

 

 

-

7


 

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

 

 

-

8


 

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

 

 

-

9


 

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

 

 

-

10


 

  To another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, discerning of spirits; to another, divers kinds of languages; to another, the interpretation of languages:  

 

 

-

11


 

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

 

 

-

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.  

 

 

-

13


 

  For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and have been all made to drink into 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; is it therefore not of the body?  

 

 

-

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?  

 

 

-

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 every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.  

 

 

-

19


 

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

 

 

-

20


 

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

 

 

-

21


 

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

 

 

-

22


 

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

 

 

-

23


 

  And those members 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


 

  For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given 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 thus if one member suffers all the members suffer with it; or, if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.  

 

 

-

27


 

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

 

 

-

28


 

  And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of languages.  

 

 

-

29


 

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

 

 

-

30


 

  Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak in languages? do all interpret?  

 

 

-

31


 

  But covet earnestly the best gifts. And yet I show to you a more excellent way.
