< 1 Corinthians 12 >
1 Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
Περὶ δὲ τῶν πνευματικῶν, ἀδελφοί, οὐ θέλω ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν.
2 Ye know that when ye were Gentiles [ye were] led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led.
οἴδατε ὅτι ὅτε ἔθνη ἦτε πρὸς τὰ εἴδωλα τὰ ἄφωνα ὡς ἂν ἤγεσθε ἀπαγόμενοι.
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.
διὸ γνωρίζω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἐν πνεύματι θεοῦ λαλῶν λέγει· Ἀνάθεμα ⸀Ἰησοῦς καὶ οὐδεὶς δύναται εἰπεῖν· ⸂Κύριος Ἰησοῦς εἰ μὴ ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ.
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
Διαιρέσεις δὲ χαρισμάτων εἰσίν, τὸ δὲ αὐτὸ πνεῦμα·
5 And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord.
καὶ διαιρέσεις διακονιῶν εἰσιν, καὶ ὁ αὐτὸς κύριος·
6 And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all.
καὶ διαιρέσεις ἐνεργημάτων εἰσίν, ⸂ὁ δὲ ⸀αὐτὸςθεός, ὁ ἐνεργῶν τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν.
7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.
ἑκάστῳ δὲ δίδοται ἡ φανέρωσις τοῦ πνεύματος πρὸς τὸ συμφέρον.
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:
ᾧ μὲν γὰρ διὰ τοῦ πνεύματος δίδοται λόγος σοφίας, ἄλλῳ δὲ λόγος γνώσεως κατὰ τὸ αὐτὸ πνεῦμα,
9 to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;
⸀ἑτέρῳπίστις ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ πνεύματι, ⸀ἄλλῳχαρίσματα ἰαμάτων ἐν τῷ ⸀ἑνὶπνεύματι,
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:
⸀ἄλλῳἐνεργήματα δυνάμεων, ⸁ἄλλῳπροφητεία, ⸀1ἄλλῳδιακρίσεις πνευμάτων, ⸀ἑτέρῳγένη γλωσσῶν, ⸀2ἄλλῳἑρμηνεία γλωσσῶν·
11 but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.
πάντα δὲ ταῦτα ἐνεργεῖ τὸ ἓν καὶ τὸ αὐτὸ πνεῦμα, διαιροῦν ἰδίᾳ ἑκάστῳ καθὼς βούλεται.
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.
Καθάπερ γὰρ τὸ σῶμα ἕν ἐστιν καὶ μέλη ⸂πολλὰ ἔχει, πάντα δὲ τὰ μέλη τοῦ ⸀σώματοςπολλὰ ὄντα ἕν ἐστιν σῶμα, οὕτως καὶ ὁ Χριστός·
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.
καὶ γὰρ ἐν ἑνὶ πνεύματι ἡμεῖς πάντεςεἰς ἓν σῶμα ἐβαπτίσθημεν, εἴτε Ἰουδαῖοι εἴτε Ἕλληνες, εἴτε δοῦλοι εἴτε ἐλεύθεροι, καὶ ⸀πάντες ἓν πνεῦμα ἐποτίσθημεν.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
Καὶ γὰρ τὸ σῶμα οὐκ ἔστιν ἓν μέλος ἀλλὰ πολλά.
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.
ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὁ πούς· Ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ χείρ, οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ σώματος, οὐ παρὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ σώματος;
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.
καὶ ἐὰν εἴπῃ τὸ οὖς· Ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ ὀφθαλμός, οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ σώματος, οὐ παρὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ σώματος·
17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
εἰ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα ὀφθαλμός, ποῦ ἡ ἀκοή; εἰ ὅλον ἀκοή, ποῦ ἡ ὄσφρησις;
18 But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.
⸀νυνὶδὲ ὁ θεὸς ἔθετο τὰ μέλη, ἓν ἕκαστον αὐτῶν, ἐν τῷ σώματι καθὼς ἠθέλησεν.
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
εἰ δὲ ἦν τὰ πάντα ἓν μέλος, ποῦ τὸ σῶμα;
20 But now they are many members, but one body.
νῦν δὲ πολλὰ ⸀μὲνμέλη, ἓν δὲ σῶμα.
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.
οὐ δύναται δὲ ὁ ὀφθαλμὸς εἰπεῖν τῇ χειρί· Χρείαν σου οὐκ ἔχω, ἢ πάλιν ἡ κεφαλὴ τοῖς ποσίν· Χρείαν ὑμῶν οὐκ ἔχω·
22 Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:
ἀλλὰ πολλῷ μᾶλλον τὰ δοκοῦντα μέλη τοῦ σώματος ἀσθενέστερα ὑπάρχειν ἀναγκαῖά ἐστιν,
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;
καὶ ἃ δοκοῦμεν ἀτιμότερα εἶναι τοῦ σώματος, τούτοις τιμὴν περισσοτέραν περιτίθεμεν, καὶ τὰ ἀσχήμονα ἡμῶν εὐσχημοσύνην περισσοτέραν ἔχει,
24 whereas our comely [parts] have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that [part] which lacked;
τὰ δὲ εὐσχήμονα ἡμῶν οὐ χρείαν ⸀ἔχει ἀλλὰ ὁ θεὸς συνεκέρασεν τὸ σῶμα, τῷ ⸀ὑστεροῦντιπερισσοτέραν δοὺς τιμήν,
25 that there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.
ἵνα μὴ ᾖ ⸀σχίσμαἐν τῷ σώματι, ἀλλὰ τὸ αὐτὸ ὑπὲρ ἀλλήλων μεριμνῶσι τὰ μέλη.
26 And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or [one] member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
καὶ ⸀εἴτεπάσχει ἓν μέλος συμπάσχει πάντα τὰ μέλη· εἴτε δοξάζεται ⸀μέλος, συγχαίρει πάντα τὰ μέλη.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.
Ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε σῶμα Χριστοῦ καὶ μέλη ἐκ μέρους.
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.
καὶ οὓς μὲν ἔθετο ὁ θεὸς ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ πρῶτον ἀποστόλους, δεύτερον προφήτας, τρίτον διδασκάλους, ἔπειταδυνάμεις, ⸀ἔπειτα χαρίσματα ἰαμάτων, ἀντιλήμψεις, κυβερνήσεις, γένη γλωσσῶν.
29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all [workers of] miracles?
μὴ πάντες ἀπόστολοι; μὴ πάντες προφῆται; μὴ πάντες διδάσκαλοι; μὴ πάντες δυνάμεις;
30 have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
μὴ πάντες χαρίσματα ἔχουσιν ἰαμάτων; μὴ πάντες γλώσσαις λαλοῦσιν; μὴ πάντες διερμηνεύουσιν;
31 But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you.
ζηλοῦτε δὲ τὰ χαρίσματα τὰ ⸀μείζονα καὶ ἔτι καθʼ ὑπερβολὴν ὁδὸν ὑμῖν δείκνυμι.
