1 Corinthians 12
1 Now concerning the spiritual things, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.
he bhrātaraḥ, yūyaṁ yad ātmikān dāyān anavagatāstiṣṭhatha tadahaṁ nābhilaṣāmi|
2 You know that when you were pagans you were always led toward the mute idols, being carried away.
pūrvvaṁ bhinnajātīyā yūyaṁ yadvad vinītāstadvad avākpratimānām anugāmina ādhbam iti jānītha|
3 Therefore I inform you that no one speaking by God's Spirit calls Jesus accursed, and no one can declare Jesus to be Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
iti hetorahaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ nivedayāmi, īśvarasyātmanā bhāṣamāṇaḥ ko'pi yīśuṁ śapta iti na vyāharati, punaśca pavitreṇātmanā vinītaṁ vinānyaḥ ko'pi yīśuṁ prabhuriti vyāharttuṁ na śaknoti|
4 Now there are allotments of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit.
dāyā bahuvidhāḥ kintveka ātmā
5 And there are allotments of ministries, and the same Lord.
paricaryyāśca bahuvidhāḥ kintvekaḥ prabhuḥ|
6 And there are allotments of activities, but the same God is He who works them all, in all.
sādhanāni bahuvidhāni kintu sarvveṣu sarvvasādhaka īśvara ekaḥ|
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the common good.
ekaikasmai tasyātmano darśanaṁ parahitārthaṁ dīyate|
8 So to one a word of wisdom is given, by the Spirit; to another a word of knowledge, by the same Spirit;
ekasmai tenātmanā jñānavākyaṁ dīyate, anyasmai tenaivātmanādiṣṭaṁ vidyāvākyam,
9 to a different one faith, by the same Spirit; to another presents of healings, by the same Spirit;
anyasmai tenaivātmanā viśvāsaḥ, anyasmai tenaivātmanā svāsthyadānaśaktiḥ,
10 to another workings of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discernings of spirits; to a different one kinds of languages, to another interpretation of languages.
anyasmai duḥsādhyasādhanaśaktiranyasmai ceśvarīyādeśaḥ, anyasmai cātimānuṣikasyādeśasya vicārasāmarthyam, anyasmai parabhāṣābhāṣaṇaśaktiranyasmai ca bhāṣārthabhāṣaṇasāmaryaṁ dīyate|
11 However, the one and the same Spirit produces all of these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.
ekenādvitīyenātmanā yathābhilāṣam ekaikasmai janāyaikaikaṁ dānaṁ vitaratā tāni sarvvāṇi sādhyante|
12 Now just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, though being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.
deha ekaḥ sannapi yadvad bahvaṅgayukto bhavati, tasyaikasya vapuṣo 'ṅgānāṁ bahutvena yadvad ekaṁ vapu rbhavati, tadvat khrīṣṭaḥ|
13 For we also were all baptized into one body by one Spirit—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and were all given to drink into one Spirit.
yato heto ryihūdibhinnajātīyadāsasvatantrā vayaṁ sarvve majjanenaikenātmanaikadehīkṛtāḥ sarvve caikātmabhuktā abhavāma|
14 For in fact the body is not one part but many.
ekenāṅgena vapu rna bhavati kintu bahubhiḥ|
15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” it would not therefore cease to be of the body.
tatra caraṇaṁ yadi vadet nāhaṁ hastastasmāt śarīrasya bhāgo nāsmīti tarhyanena śarīrāt tasya viyogo na bhavati|
16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” it would not therefore cease to be of the body.
śrotraṁ vā yadi vadet nāhaṁ nayanaṁ tasmāt śarīrasyāṁśo nāsmīti tarhyanena śarīrāt tasya viyogo na bhavati|
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?
kṛtsnaṁ śarīraṁ yadi darśanendriyaṁ bhavet tarhi śravaṇendriyaṁ kutra sthāsyati? tat kṛtsnaṁ yadi vā śravaṇendriyaṁ bhavet tarhi ghraṇendriyaṁ kutra sthāsyati?
18 But God has really placed the members in the body, each one of them, just as He pleased.
kintvidānīm īśvareṇa yathābhilaṣitaṁ tathaivāṅgapratyaṅgānām ekaikaṁ śarīre sthāpitaṁ|
19 (If the whole were just one member, where would the body be?
tat kṛtsnaṁ yadyekāṅgarūpi bhavet tarhi śarīre kutra sthāsyati?
20 But in fact the parts are many but the body one.)
tasmād aṅgāni bahūni santi śarīraṁ tvekameva|
21 Further, the eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I do not need you.”
ataeva tvayā mama prayojanaṁ nāstīti vācaṁ pāṇiṁ vadituṁ nayanaṁ na śaknoti, tathā yuvābhyāṁ mama prayojanaṁ nāstīti mūrddhā caraṇau vadituṁ na śaknotiḥ;
22 Much to the contrary, those members of the body that seem to be weaker are necessary.
vastutastu vigrahasya yānyaṅgānyasmābhi rdurbbalāni budhyante tānyeva saprayojanāni santi|
23 And the parts of the body that we consider to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentables have special modesty,
yāni ca śarīramadhye'vamanyāni budhyate tānyasmābhiradhikaṁ śobhyante| yāni ca kudṛśyāni tāni sudṛśyatarāṇi kriyante
24 while our presentables do not need it. Yes, God has blended the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacks it,
kintu yāni svayaṁ sudṛśyāni teṣāṁ śobhanam niṣprayojanaṁ|
25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another;
śarīramadhye yad bhedo na bhavet kintu sarvvāṇyaṅgāni yad aikyabhāvena sarvveṣāṁ hitaṁ cintayanti tadartham īśvareṇāpradhānam ādaraṇīyaṁ kṛtvā śarīraṁ viracitaṁ|
26 and if one member suffers, all the members should suffer along, or if one member is honored, all the members should rejoice along.
tasmād ekasyāṅgasya pīḍāyāṁ jātāyāṁ sarvvāṇyaṅgāni tena saha pīḍyante, ekasya samādare jāte ca sarvvāṇi tena saha saṁhṛṣyanti|
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
yūyañca khrīṣṭasya śarīraṁ, yuṣmākam ekaikaśca tasyaikaikam aṅgaṁ|
28 And those whom God has appointed in the Church are: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers; after that miracles, then presents of healings, helps, administrations, kinds of languages.
kecit kecit samitāvīśvareṇa prathamataḥ preritā dvitīyata īśvarīyādeśavaktārastṛtīyata upadeṣṭāro niyuktāḥ, tataḥ paraṁ kebhyo'pi citrakāryyasādhanasāmarthyam anāmayakaraṇaśaktirupakṛtau lokaśāsane vā naipuṇyaṁ nānābhāṣābhāṣaṇasāmarthyaṁ vā tena vyatāri|
29 All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not miracle workers, are they?
sarvve kiṁ preritāḥ? sarvve kim īśvarīyādeśavaktāraḥ? sarvve kim upadeṣṭāraḥ? sarvve kiṁ citrakāryyasādhakāḥ?
30 All do not have presents of healings, do they? All do not speak languages, do they? All do not interpret, do they?
sarvve kim anāmayakaraṇaśaktiyuktāḥ? sarvve kiṁ parabhāṣāvādinaḥ? sarvve vā kiṁ parabhāṣārthaprakāśakāḥ?
31 But earnestly desire the best gifts.
yūyaṁ śreṣṭhadāyān labdhuṁ yatadhvaṁ| anena yūyaṁ mayā sarvvottamamārgaṁ darśayitavyāḥ|
