1 Corinthians 12
1 Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.
Περὶ δὲ τῶν πνευματικῶν, ἀδελφοί, οὐ θέλω ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν.
2 You know that when you were unbelievers, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.
οἴδατε ὅτι ὅτε ἔθνη ἦτε πρὸς τὰ εἴδωλα τὰ ἄφωνα ὡς ἂν ἤγεσθε ἀπαγόμενοι.
3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by God's Spirit says, "Jesus is accursed." No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," but by the Holy Spirit.
διὸ γνωρίζω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἐν πνεύματι θεοῦ λαλῶν λέγει· Ἀνάθεμα ⸀Ἰησοῦς καὶ οὐδεὶς δύναται εἰπεῖν· ⸂Κύριος Ἰησοῦς εἰ μὴ ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ.
4 Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
Διαιρέσεις δὲ χαρισμάτων εἰσίν, τὸ δὲ αὐτὸ πνεῦμα·
5 There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.
καὶ διαιρέσεις διακονιῶν εἰσιν, καὶ ὁ αὐτὸς κύριος·
6 There are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all.
καὶ διαιρέσεις ἐνεργημάτων εἰσίν, ⸂ὁ δὲ ⸀αὐτὸςθεός, ὁ ἐνεργῶν τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν.
7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.
ἑκάστῳ δὲ δίδοται ἡ φανέρωσις τοῦ πνεύματος πρὸς τὸ συμφέρον.
8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
ᾧ μὲν γὰρ διὰ τοῦ πνεύματος δίδοται λόγος σοφίας, ἄλλῳ δὲ λόγος γνώσεως κατὰ τὸ αὐτὸ πνεῦμα,
9 to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the one Spirit;
⸀ἑτέρῳπίστις ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ πνεύματι, ⸀ἄλλῳχαρίσματα ἰαμάτων ἐν τῷ ⸀ἑνὶπνεύματι,
10 and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to another different kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues.
⸀ἄλλῳἐνεργήματα δυνάμεων, ⸁ἄλλῳπροφητεία, ⸀1ἄλλῳδιακρίσεις πνευμάτων, ⸀ἑτέρῳγένη γλωσσῶν, ⸀2ἄλλῳἑρμηνεία γλωσσῶν·
11 But the one and the same Spirit works all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.
πάντα δὲ ταῦτα ἐνεργεῖ τὸ ἓν καὶ τὸ αὐτὸ πνεῦμα, διαιροῦν ἰδίᾳ ἑκάστῳ καθὼς βούλεται.
12 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 Christ.
Καθάπερ γὰρ τὸ σῶμα ἕν ἐστιν καὶ μέλη ⸂πολλὰ ἔχει, πάντα δὲ τὰ μέλη τοῦ ⸀σώματοςπολλὰ ὄντα ἕν ἐστιν σῶμα, οὕτως καὶ ὁ Χριστός·
13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink of one Spirit.
καὶ γὰρ ἐν ἑνὶ πνεύματι ἡμεῖς πάντεςεἰς ἓν σῶμα ἐβαπτίσθημεν, εἴτε Ἰουδαῖοι εἴτε Ἕλληνες, εἴτε δοῦλοι εἴτε ἐλεύθεροι, καὶ ⸀πάντες ἓν πνεῦμα ἐποτίσθημεν.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
Καὶ γὰρ τὸ σῶμα οὐκ ἔστιν ἓν μέλος ἀλλὰ πολλά.
15 If the foot would say, "Because I'm not a hand, I'm not part of the body," that would not make it less a part of the body.
ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὁ πούς· Ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ χείρ, οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ σώματος, οὐ παρὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ σώματος;
16 And if the ear would say, "Because I'm not the eye, I'm not part of the body," that would not make it less a part of the body.
καὶ ἐὰν εἴπῃ τὸ οὖς· Ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ ὀφθαλμός, οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ σώματος, οὐ παρὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ σώματος·
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
εἰ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα ὀφθαλμός, ποῦ ἡ ἀκοή; εἰ ὅλον ἀκοή, ποῦ ἡ ὄσφρησις;
18 But as a matter of fact, God has arranged the members of the body, each one of them, according to his design.
⸀νυνὶδὲ ὁ θεὸς ἔθετο τὰ μέλη, ἓν ἕκαστον αὐτῶν, ἐν τῷ σώματι καθὼς ἠθέλησεν.
19 If they were all the same member, where would the body be?
εἰ δὲ ἦν τὰ πάντα ἓν μέλος, ποῦ τὸ σῶμα;
20 So now there are many members, but one body.
νῦν δὲ πολλὰ ⸀μὲνμέλη, ἓν δὲ σῶμα.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need for you," or again the head to the feet, "I have no need for you."
οὐ δύναται δὲ ὁ ὀφθαλμὸς εἰπεῖν τῇ χειρί· Χρείαν σου οὐκ ἔχω, ἢ πάλιν ἡ κεφαλὴ τοῖς ποσίν· Χρείαν ὑμῶν οὐκ ἔχω·
22 On the contrary, those members which seem to be weaker are essential,
ἀλλὰ πολλῷ μᾶλλον τὰ δοκοῦντα μέλη τοῦ σώματος ἀσθενέστερα ὑπάρχειν ἀναγκαῖά ἐστιν,
23 and the parts which we think less honorable we treat with greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with dignity,
καὶ ἃ δοκοῦμεν ἀτιμότερα εἶναι τοῦ σώματος, τούτοις τιμὴν περισσοτέραν περιτίθεμεν, καὶ τὰ ἀσχήμονα ἡμῶν εὐσχημοσύνην περισσοτέραν ἔχει,
24 whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the lesser member,
τὰ δὲ εὐσχήμονα ἡμῶν οὐ χρείαν ⸀ἔχει ἀλλὰ ὁ θεὸς συνεκέρασεν τὸ σῶμα, τῷ ⸀ὑστεροῦντιπερισσοτέραν δοὺς τιμήν,
25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same concern for one another.
ἵνα μὴ ᾖ ⸀σχίσμαἐν τῷ σώματι, ἀλλὰ τὸ αὐτὸ ὑπὲρ ἀλλήλων μεριμνῶσι τὰ μέλη.
26 When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. If a member is honored, all rejoice with it.
καὶ ⸀εἴτεπάσχει ἓν μέλος συμπάσχει πάντα τὰ μέλη· εἴτε δοξάζεται ⸀μέλος, συγχαίρει πάντα τὰ μέλη.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
Ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε σῶμα Χριστοῦ καὶ μέλη ἐκ μέρους.
28 God has set some in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of tongues.
καὶ οὓς μὲν ἔθετο ὁ θεὸς ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ πρῶτον ἀποστόλους, δεύτερον προφήτας, τρίτον διδασκάλους, ἔπειταδυνάμεις, ⸀ἔπειτα χαρίσματα ἰαμάτων, ἀντιλήμψεις, κυβερνήσεις, γένη γλωσσῶν.
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?
μὴ πάντες ἀπόστολοι; μὴ πάντες προφῆται; μὴ πάντες διδάσκαλοι; μὴ πάντες δυνάμεις;
30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
μὴ πάντες χαρίσματα ἔχουσιν ἰαμάτων; μὴ πάντες γλώσσαις λαλοῦσιν; μὴ πάντες διερμηνεύουσιν;
31 But earnestly desire the greater gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.
ζηλοῦτε δὲ τὰ χαρίσματα τὰ ⸀μείζονα καὶ ἔτι καθʼ ὑπερβολὴν ὁδὸν ὑμῖν δείκνυμι.
