1 Corinthians 12

1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.

In spirituall thinges brethren I wolde not have you ignoraunt.

2 You know that when you were pagans you were somehow enticed and led astray to mute idols.

Ye knowe that ye were gentyls and went youre wayes vnto domme ydoles even as ye were ledde.

3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can call Jesus Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

Wherfore I declare vnto you that no man speakynge in the sprete of god defieth Iesus. Also no man can saye that Iesus is the lorde: but by the holy goost.

4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;

Ther are diversities of gyftes verely yet but one sprete.

5 and there are varieties of ministries, but the same Lord;

And ther are differences of administracions and yet but one lorde.

6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers all of them in everyone.

And ther are divers maners of operacions and yet but one God which worketh all thinges that are wrought in all creatures.

7 A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person for the benefit of all.

The gyftes of ye sprete are geven to every man to proffit ye congregacion.

8 To one person there is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

To one is geven thorow the spirite the vtteraunce of wisdome? To another is geven the vtteraunce of knowledge by ye same sprete.

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

To another is geuen fayth by ye same sprete. To another ye gyftes of healynge by the same sprete.

10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues.

To another power to do myracles. To another prophesie? To another iudgement of spretes. To another divers tonges. To another the interpretacion of toges.

11 All these gifts are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who distributes to each person individually just as he wills.

And these all worketh eve ye silfe same sprete devydynge to every man severall gyftes even as he will.

12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members constitute one body even though they are many, so it is with Christ.

For as the body is one and hath many mebres and all the membres of one body though they be many yet are but one body: even so is Christ.

13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we have all been given to drink into one Spirit.

For in one sprete are we all baptysed to make one body whether we be Iewes or getyls whether we be bonde or fre: and have all dronke of one sprete.

14 Even so the body does not consist of one member, but many.

For the body is not one member but many.

15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” is it for that reason not a part of the body?

Yf the fote saye: I am not the honde therfore I am not of the body: is he therfore not of ye body:

16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” is it for that reason not a part of the body?

And if ye eare saye I am not the eye: therfore I am not of the body: is he therfore not of the body?

17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?

If all the body were an eye where were then the eare? If all were hearynge: where were the smellynge?

18 But as it is, God has placed each one of the members in the body just as he desired.

But now hath god disposed the membres every one of them in the body at his awne pleasure.

19 If they were all one member, where would the body be?

If they were all one member: where were the body?

20 As it is, there are many members, yet one body.

Now are ther many membres yet but one body.

21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of yoʋ,” nor in turn can the head say to the feet, “I have no need of you.”

And the eye can not saye vnto the honde I have no nede of the: nor ye heed also to the fete. I have no nede of you.

22 On the contrary, the members of the body that seem to be weaker are essential,

Ye rather a greate deale those mebres of the body which seme to be most feble are most necessary.

23 and the members of the body that we consider to be less honorable are clothed with more abundant honor. And our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty,

And apo those mebres of yt body which we thinke lest honest put we most honestie on. And oure vngodly parties have most beauty on.

24 but our presentable parts have no need of it. Instead, God has put the body together, giving more abundant honor to the part that lacked it,

For oure honest members nede it not. But God hath so disposed the body ad hath geven most honoure to that parte which laked

25 so that there would be no divisions in the body, but that the members would have the same concern for one another.

lest there shuld be eny stryfe in the body: but that the members shuld indifferetly care one for another.

26 If one member suffers, all the other members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the other members rejoice with it.

And yf one member suffer all suffer with him: yf one member be had in honoure all members be glad also.

27 Now you are the body of Christ, and individually members of it.

Ye are the body of Christ and members one of another.

28 And those whom God has appointed in the church are as follows: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, leading, and various kinds of tongues.

And God hath also ordeyned in the congregacion fyrst the Apostels secodarely prophetes thyrdly teachers then the that do miracles: after that the gyftes of healynge helpers governers diversite of tonges.

29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?

Are all Apostles? Are all Prophetes? Are all teachers? Are all doars of miracles?

30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?

Have all the gyftes of healinge? Do all speake wt tonges? Do all interprete?

31 No, but earnestly desire the better gifts. And now I will show you a far more excellent way.

Covet after ye best giftes. Amd yet shewe I vnto you a moare excellent waye.
