1 Corinthians 12

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

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

2 All of you know that all of you were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as all of you were led.

Ye know, that when ye were gentiles, ye were carried away to dumb idols, as ye happened to be led;

3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit (pneuma) of God calls Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)

wherefore I give you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God saith, Accursed be Jesus; and that no one can say, Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. (pneuma)

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit;

5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

and there are diversities of services, but the same Lord;

6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which works all in all.

and there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God who worketh all things in all.

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit (pneuma) is given to every man to profit likewise.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the good of others.

8 In order to one is given by the Spirit (pneuma) the word (logos) of wisdom; to another the word (logos) of knowledge by the same Spirit; (pneuma)

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

9 To another faith by the same Spirit; (pneuma) to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; (pneuma)

to another faith, by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing, by the one Spirit;

10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; (pneuma) to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

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.

11 But all these works that one and the very same Spirit, (pneuma) dividing to every man severally as he will.

But all these worketh the one and self-same Spirit, allotting to each one severally as it will.

12 For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so it is with Christ.

13 For by one Spirit (pneuma) 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. (pneuma)

For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or freemen; and were all made to drink one Spirit.

14 For the body is not one member, but many.

For the body also 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 say, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, is it for this reason not 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 say, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, is it for this reason not 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 would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?

18 But now has God set the members every one of them in the body, as it has pleased him.

But as it is, God set the members every one of them in the body, as it pleased him.

19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?

And if they were all one member, where would be the body?

20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.

But now there are, indeed, many members, but one body.

21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of you: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee; nor, 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:

Nay, still more, those members of the body which seem to be weak, are necessary;

23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our indecent parts have more abundant loveliness.

and what we think to be less honorable parts of the body, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our unseemly parts have more abundant seemliness;

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

while our seemly parts have no need. But God so put the body together, as to give special honor to that part which lacked,

25 That there should be no division in the body; but that the members should have 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 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

And so if one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

27 Now all of you are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members individually. And

28 And God has set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

God appointed some in the church to be, in the first place, apostles, in the second place, prophets, in the third place, teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, those of helping and of governing, divers kinds of tongues. Are all apostles?

29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?

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 show I unto you a more excellent way.

But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And furthermore I show you by far the most excellent way.
