1 Corinthians 12
1 Now concerning spirituall giftes, brethren, I would not haue you ignorant.
NOW concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, and were caried away vnto the dumme Idoles, as ye were led.
Ye know that ye were Gentiles, drawn away after the idols that are dumb, even as ye have been led.
3 Wherefore, I declare vnto you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Iesus execrable: also no man can say that Iesus is the Lord, but by the holy Ghost.
Wherefore I advertise you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God, call Jesus anathema: and no man can say, Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.
4 Now there are diuersities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
But there are diversities of gifts, though the same Spirit.
5 And there are diuersities of administrations, but the same Lord,
And there are diversities of services, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diuersities of operations, but God is the same which worketh all in all.
And there are diversities of mighty operations, but it is the same God who worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is giuen to euery man, to profite withall.
Now to every one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for usefulness.
8 For to one is giuen by the Spirit the word of wisdome: and to an other the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit:
For to one man by the Spirit is given wise discourse; but to another speech communicative of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 And to another is giuen faith by the same Spirit: and to another the giftes of healing, by the same Spirit:
to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing diseases by the same Spirit;
10 And to another the operations of great workes: and to another, prophecie: and to another, the discerning of spirits: and to another, diuersities of tongues: and to another, the interpretation of tongues.
to another miraculous powers; to another prophecy; to another discernments of spirits; to another different kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 And all these thinges worketh one and the selfe same Spirit, distributing to euery man seuerally as he will.
but all these things worketh that one and the same Spirit, distributing peculiar gifts to every one even as he wills.
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, which is one, though they be many, yet are but one body: euen so is Christ.
For as the body is one, and hath many members, but all the members of that one body, though many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we bee Iewes, or Grecians, whether we be bonde, or free, and haue bene all made to drinke into one Spirit.
For by one Spirit we all have been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free men; and we have all been made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body also is not one member, but many.
For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foote would say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body?
If the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it, on this account, not of the body?
16 And if the eare would say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body?
And if the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it not therefore of the body?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smellling?
If the whole body were eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18 But nowe hath God disposed the members euery one of them in the bodie at his owne pleasure.
But now hath God placed the members, every one of them in the body, as he hath chosen.
19 For if they were all one member, where were the body?
But if the whole were one member, where were the body?
20 But now are there many members, yet but one body.
But now the members indeed are many, but the body one.
21 And the eye cannot say vnto the hand, I haue no neede of thee: nor the head againe to the feete, I haue no neede of you.
Nor can the eye say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 Yea, much rather those members of the body, which seeme to be more feeble, are necessarie.
Yea, much more the members of the body, which appear to be more feeble, are necessary:
23 And vpon those members of the body, which wee thinke most vnhonest, put wee more honestie on: and our vncomely parts haue more comelinesse on.
and those parts which we esteem as the more dishonourable of the body, on them we bestow more abundant honour, and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
24 For our comely partes neede it not: but God hath tempered the body together, and hath giuen the more honour to that part which lacked,
For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered together the body, giving more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
25 Lest there should be any diuision in the body: but that the members shoulde haue the same care one for another.
that there might be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
26 Therefore if one member suffer, all suffer with it: if one member be had in honour, all the members reioyce with it.
And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; and if one member be exalted, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members for your part.
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
28 And God hath ordained some in the Church: as first Apostles, secondly Prophetes, thirdly teachers, then them that doe miracles: after that, the giftes of healing, helpers, gouernours, diuersitie of tongues.
And these also hath God placed in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healings, helpers, directors, different kinds of tongues.
29 Are all Apostles? are all Prophetes? are all teachers?
Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
30 Are all doers of miracles? haue all the gifts of healing? doe all speake with tongues? doe all interprete?
have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 But desire you the best giftes, and I will yet shewe you a more excellent way.
But zealously seek the gifts that are the best: and yet I shew unto you a more transcendently excellent way.
