1 Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2 Ye know that when ye were Gentiles [ye were] led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led.
Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit.
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God, calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the 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 diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord.
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all.
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God who worketh all in all.
7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man for profit.
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:
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, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;
To another, faith by the same Spirit; to another, the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another [divers] kinds of tongues; and 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 languages; to another, the interpretation of languages:
11 but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.
But all these worketh that one and the same Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the 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 that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ.
13 For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and have been all made to drink into 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; it is not therefore not of the body.
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not 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 therefore 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 [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling?
18 But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.
But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath 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 they are many members, but one body.
But now [are they] many members, yet but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or 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 rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:
Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
23 and those [parts] 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 to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness.
24 whereas our comely [parts] have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honour to that [part] which lacked;
For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that [part] which lacked:
25 that there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.
That there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.
26 And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or [one] member is honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
And thus if one member suffers 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 Christ, and severally members thereof.
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

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 miracles?
30 have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak in languages? do all interpret?
31 But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And a still more excellent way shew I unto you.
But covet earnestly the best gifts. And yet I show to you a more excellent way.
