Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.1 Corinthians 12:1

Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.1 Corinthians 12:2

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.1 Corinthians 12:3

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.1 Corinthians 12:4

And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.1 Corinthians 12:5

And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.1 Corinthians 12:6

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.1 Corinthians 12:7

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;1 Corinthians 12:8

To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;1 Corinthians 12:9

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:1 Corinthians 12:10

But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.1 Corinthians 12:11

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.1 Corinthians 12:12

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.1 Corinthians 12:13

For the body is not one member, but many.1 Corinthians 12:14

If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?1 Corinthians 12:15

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?1 Corinthians 12:16

If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?1 Corinthians 12:17

But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.1 Corinthians 12:18

And if they were all one member, where were the body?1 Corinthians 12:19

But now are they many members, yet but one body.1 Corinthians 12:20

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.1 Corinthians 12:21

Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:1 Corinthians 12:22

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.1 Corinthians 12:23

For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:1 Corinthians 12:24

That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.1 Corinthians 12:25

And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.1 Corinthians 12:26

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.1 Corinthians 12:27

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.1 Corinthians 12:28

Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?1 Corinthians 12:29

Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?1 Corinthians 12:30

But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.1 Corinthians 12:31
