1 Now con­cern­ing spir­i­tu­al gifts, brethren, I would not have you ig­no­rant. 2 Ye know that ye were Gen­tiles, car­ried away unto 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 Ghost. 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 which wor­keth all in all. 7 But the man­i­fes­ta­tion of the Spir­it is giv­en to ev­ery man to prof­it with­al. 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 tongues; to an­oth­er the in­ter­pre­ta­tion of tongues: 11 But all these wor­keth that one and the self­same 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 we be Jews or Gen­tiles, whether we be 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 unto 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 hon­ourable, upon these we be­stow more abun­dant hon­our; 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 hon­our 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 suf­fer, all the mem­bers suf­fer with it; or one mem­ber be hon­oured, 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, sec­on­dar­i­ly prophets, third­ly teach­ers, af­ter that mir­a­cles, then gifts of heal­ings, helps, gov­ern­ments, di­ver­si­ties of tongues. 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 with tongues? do all in­ter­pret? 31 But cov­et earnest­ly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more ex­cel­lent way.
