< 1 Corinthians 12 >
1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
But concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant.
2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to those dumb idols, as you might be led.
3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of YHWH calleth Yahushua accursed: and that no man can say that Yahushua is the Master, but by the Holy Spirit.
For this reason, I make known to you, that no one, speaking by the Spirit of God, calls Jesus accursed: and no one can say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit;
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Master.
and there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord;
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same Elohim which worketh all in all.
and there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who makes them all effectual in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one, for the good of all.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
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;
to another, faith, by the same Spirit; to another, 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:
to another, the working of mighty deeds; to another, prophecy; to another, the discerning of spirits; to another, different 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.
But all these, the one and the same Spirit makes effectual, distributing to each, respectively, as he wills.
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 the Messiah.
For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the 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.
For by one Spirit we all were immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and we all have been made to drink of one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
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?
If the foot shall say: Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part 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?
And if the ear shall say: Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part of the body?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18 But now hath Elohim set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
But now God has placed the members, each of them, in the body, as it has pleased him.
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
But now there are many members, 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.
The eye can not say to the hand: I have no need of you; or 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:
But much more are those members of the body necessary, which seem to be more feeble.
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.
And those members of the body, which, we think, are less honorable, around these we place the more abundant honor; and our uncomely members have the more abundant comeliness:
24 For our comely parts have no need: but Elohim hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
for our comely members have no need. But God has so arranged the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which is deficient,
25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
that there may be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same anxious 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.
and if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now ye are the body of the Messiah, and members in particular.
Now, you are the body of Christ, and, as individuals, you are members.
28 And YHWH hath set some in the assembly, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
And God has placed some in the church, first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then mighty deeds; then gifts of healing; helps, governments, kinds of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of mighty deeds?
30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
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.
But seek earnestly the best gifts; and yet I show you a more excellent way.
