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