1 Corinthians 12

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

And concerning spirituals, my brethren, I would have you know,

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

that ye have been pagans; and have been, without distinction, led away after idols, in which there is no speech.

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)

I therefore inform you, that there is no man, that speaketh by the Spirit of God, who saith that Jesus is accursed: neither can a man say that Jesus is the Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.

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

Now there are diversities of gifts; but the Spirit is one.

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

And there are diversities of ministrations; but the Lord is one.

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

And there are diversities of energies; but God, who worketh all in all men, is one.

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

And to each man, there is given a manifestation of the Spirit, that it may aid him.

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)

To one, by the Spirit, there is given a word of wisdom; and to another, by the same Spirit, there is given a word of knowledge:

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

to another, by the same Spirit, faith: to another, by the same Spirit, gifts of healing:

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:

and to another, miracles: and to another, prophecy: and to another, the discerning of spirits: and to another, divers kinds of tongues: and 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 that one Spirit; and he distributeth to every one as he pleaseth.

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 in it are many members; and all those members of the body, though many, are one body; so also is the Messiah.

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 all of us, likewise, by one Spirit, have been baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether slaves or free; and all of us have drinked in one Spirit.

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

For a 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?

For if the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it, on that account, 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?

Or if the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it, on that account, 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?

And if the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? Or if it were all 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 now hath God placed every one of the members in the body, according to his pleasure.

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 they are many members, yet 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.

The eye cannot say to the hand, Thou art not needful to me: nor can the head say to the feet, Ye are not needful to me.

22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

But rather, those members which are accounted feeble, are indispensable.

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 those which we think dishonorable in the body, on them we heap more honor; and those that are uncomely, on them we put the more decoration.

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.

For the honorable members in us, have no need of honor: for God hath tempered the body, and given more honor to the member which is inferior;

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 disunion in the body, but that all the members, equally, might care for one another;

26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

so that, when one member is in pain, they will all sympathize; and if one member is exalted, all the members will be exalted.

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

Now ye are the body of Messiah, and members in your place.

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.

For God hath placed in his church, first, legates; after them, prophets; after them, teachers; after them, workers of miracles; after them, the gifts of healing, and helpers, and leaders, and various kinds of tongues.

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

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

30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

Have all of them the gifts of healing? Do they all speak with tongues? Or do they all interpret?

31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way.

And if ye are emulous of the superior gifts, on the other hand, I show to you a better way.
