Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 12
1 περι δε των πνευματικων αδελφοι ου θελω υμας αγνοειν
Now concerning spiritual things, my brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2 οιδατε οτι οτε εθνη ητε προς τα ειδωλα τα αφωνα ως αν ηγεσθε απαγομενοι
You know that when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were led.
3 διο γνωριζω υμιν οτι ουδεις εν πνευματι θεου λαλων λεγει αναθεμα ιησουν και ουδεις δυναται ειπειν κυριον ιησουν ει μη εν πνευματι αγιω
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say the Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.
4 διαιρεσεις δε χαρισματων εισιν το δε αυτο πνευμα
Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit;
5 και διαιρεσεις διακονιων εισιν και ο αυτος κυριος
And there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord;
6 και διαιρεσεις ενεργηματων εισιν ο δε αυτος εστιν θεος ο ενεργων τα παντα εν πασιν
And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all.
7 εκαστω δε διδοται η φανερωσις του πνευματος προς το συμφερον
And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit.
8 ω μεν γαρ δια του πνευματος διδοται λογος σοφιας αλλω δε λογος γνωσεως κατα το αυτο πνευμα
To one indeed, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom: and to another, the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
9 ετερω δε πιστις εν τω αυτω πνευματι αλλω δε χαρισματα ιαματων εν τω αυτω πνευματι
To another, faith in the same spirit; to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit;
10 αλλω δε ενεργηματα δυναμεων αλλω δε προφητεια αλλω δε διακρισεις πνευματων ετερω δε γενη γλωσσων αλλω δε ερμηνεια γλωσσων
To another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, the discerning of spirits; to another, diverse kinds of tongues; to another, interpretation of speeches.
11 παντα δε ταυτα ενεργει το εν και το αυτο πνευμα διαιρουν ιδια εκαστω καθως βουλεται
But all these things one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will.
12 καθαπερ γαρ το σωμα εν εστιν και μελη εχει πολλα παντα δε τα μελη του σωματος του ενος πολλα οντα εν εστιν σωμα ουτως και ο χριστος
For as the body is one, and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body, so also is Christ.
13 και γαρ εν ενι πνευματι ημεις παντες εις εν σωμα εβαπτισθημεν ειτε ιουδαιοι ειτε ελληνες ειτε δουλοι ειτε ελευθεροι και παντες εις εν πνευμα εποτισθημεν
For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink.
14 και γαρ το σωμα ουκ εστιν εν μελος αλλα πολλα
For the body also is not one member, but many.
15 εαν ειπη ο πους οτι ουκ ειμι χειρ ουκ ειμι εκ του σωματος ου παρα τουτο ουκ εστιν εκ του σωματος
If the foot should say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16 και εαν ειπη το ους οτι ουκ ειμι οφθαλμος ουκ ειμι εκ του σωματος ου παρα τουτο ουκ εστιν εκ του σωματος
And if the ear should say, because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
17 ει ολον το σωμα οφθαλμος που η ακοη ει ολον ακοη που η οσφρησις
If the whole body were the eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?
18 νυνι δε ο θεος εθετο τα μελη εν εκαστον αυτων εν τω σωματι καθως ηθελησεν
But now God hath set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased him.
19 ει δε ην τα παντα εν μελος που το σωμα
And if they all were one member, where would be the body?
20 νυν δε πολλα μεν μελη εν δε σωμα
But now there are many members indeed, yet one body.
21 ου δυναται δε οφθαλμος ειπειν τη χειρι χρειαν σου ουκ εχω η παλιν η κεφαλη τοις ποσιν χρειαν υμων ουκ εχω
And the eye cannot say to the hand: I need not thy help; nor again the head to the feet: I have no need of you.
22 αλλα πολλω μαλλον τα δοκουντα μελη του σωματος ασθενεστερα υπαρχειν αναγκαια εστιν
Yea, much more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body, are more necessary.
23 και α δοκουμεν ατιμοτερα ειναι του σωματος τουτοις τιμην περισσοτεραν περιτιθεμεν και τα ασχημονα ημων ευσχημοσυνην περισσοτεραν εχει
And such as we think to be the less honourable members of the body, about these we put more abundant honour; and those that are our uncomely parts, have more abundant comeliness.
24 τα δε ευσχημονα ημων ου χρειαν εχει αλλ ο θεος συνεκερασεν το σωμα τω υστερουντι περισσοτεραν δους τιμην
But our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour,
25 ινα μη η σχισμα εν τω σωματι αλλα το αυτο υπερ αλληλων μεριμνωσιν τα μελη
That there might be no schism in the body; but the members might be mutually careful one for another.
26 και ειτε πασχει εν μελος συμπασχει παντα τα μελη ειτε δοξαζεται εν μελος συγχαιρει παντα τα μελη
And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it; or if one member glory, all the members rejoice with it.
27 υμεις δε εστε σωμα χριστου και μελη εκ μερους
Now you are the body of Christ, and members of member.
28 και ους μεν εθετο ο θεος εν τη εκκλησια πρωτον αποστολους δευτερον προφητας τριτον διδασκαλους επειτα δυναμεις ειτα χαρισματα ιαματων αντιληψεις κυβερνησεις γενη γλωσσων
And God indeed hath set some in the church; first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors; after that miracles; then the graces of healing, helps, governments, kinds of tongues, interpretations of speeches.
29 μη παντες αποστολοι μη παντες προφηται μη παντες διδασκαλοι μη παντες δυναμεις
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all doctors?
30 μη παντες χαρισματα εχουσιν ιαματων μη παντες γλωσσαις λαλουσιν μη παντες διερμηνευουσιν
Are all workers of miracles? Have all the grace of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
31 ζηλουτε δε τα χαρισματα τα κρειττονα και ετι καθ υπερβολην οδον υμιν δεικνυμι
But be zealous for the better gifts. And I shew unto you yet a more excellent way.
