Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 12
1 περι δε των πνευματικων αδελφοι ου θελω υμας αγνοειν
But concerning spiritual [manifestations], brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant.
2 οιδατε οτι εθνη ητε προς τα ειδωλα τα αφωνα ως αν ηγεσθε απαγομενοι
Ye know that when ye were [of the] nations [ye were] led away to dumb idols, in whatever way ye might be 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
I give you therefore to know, that no one, speaking in [the power of the] Spirit of God, says, Curse [on] Jesus; and no one can say, Lord Jesus, unless in [the power of the] Holy Spirit.
4 διαιρεσεις δε χαρισματων εισιν το δε αυτο πνευμα
But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit;
5 και διαιρεσεις διακονιων εισιν και ο αυτος κυριος
and there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord;
6 και διαιρεσεις ενεργηματων εισιν ο δε αυτος εστιν θεος ο ενεργων τα παντα εν πασιν
and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all.
7 εκαστω δε διδοται η φανερωσις του πνευματος προς το συμφερον
But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit.
8 ω μεν γαρ δια του πνευματος διδοται λογος σοφιας αλλω δε λογος γνωσεως κατα το αυτο πνευμα
For to one, 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
and to a different one faith, in [the power of] the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healing in [the power of] the same Spirit;
10 αλλω δε ενεργηματα δυναμεων αλλω δε προφητεια αλλω δε διακρισεις πνευματων ετερω δε γενη γλωσσων αλλω δε ερμηνεια γλωσσων
and to another operations of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; and to a different one kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues.
11 παντα δε ταυτα ενεργει το εν και το αυτο πνευμα διαιρουν ιδια εκαστω καθως βουλεται
But all these things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases.
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 even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also [is] the 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 also in [the power of] one Spirit we have all been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or free, and have all been given to drink of one Spirit.
14 και γαρ το σωμα ουκ εστιν εν μελος αλλα πολλα
For also the body 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 say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed 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 say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body?
17 ει ολον το σωμα οφθαλμος που η ακοη ει ολον ακοη που η οσφρησις
If the whole body [were] an eye, where the hearing? if all hearing, where the smelling?
18 νυνι δε ο θεος εθετο τα μελη εν εκαστον αυτων εν τω σωματι καθως ηθελησεν
But now God has set the members, each one of them in the body, according as it has pleased [him].
19 ει δε ην τα παντα εν μελος που το σωμα
But if all were one member, where the body?
20 νυν δε πολλα μεν μελη εν δε σωμα
But now the members [are] many, and the body one.
21 ου δυναται δε οφθαλμος ειπειν τη χειρι χρειαν σου ουκ εχω η παλιν η κεφαλη τοις ποσιν χρειαν υμων ουκ εχω
The eye cannot say to the hand, I have not need of thee; or again, the head to the feet, I have not need of you.
22 αλλα πολλω μαλλον τα δοκουντα μελη του σωματος ασθενεστερα υπαρχειν αναγκαια εστιν
But much rather, the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;
23 και α δοκουμεν ατιμοτερα ειναι του σωματος τουτοις τιμην περισσοτεραν περιτιθεμεν και τα ασχημονα ημων ευσχημοσυνην περισσοτεραν εχει
and those [parts] of the body which we esteem to be the more void of honour, these we clothe with more abundant honour; and 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 not need. But God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to [the part] that lacked;
25 ινα μη η σχισμα εν τω σωματι αλλα το αυτο υπερ αλληλων μεριμνωσιν τα μελη
that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern 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, all the members suffer with [it]; and if one member be glorified, all the members rejoice with [it].
27 υμεις δε εστε σωμα χριστου και μελη εκ μερους
Now ye are Christ's body, and members in particular.
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 has set certain in the assembly: first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then miraculous powers; then gifts of healings; helps; governments; kinds of tongues.
29 μη παντες αποστολοι μη παντες προφηται μη παντες διδασκαλοι μη παντες δυναμεις
[Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all [in possession of] miraculous powers?
30 μη παντες χαρισματα εχουσιν ιαματων μη παντες γλωσσαις λαλουσιν μη παντες διερμηνευουσιν
have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 ζηλουτε δε τα χαρισματα τα κρειττονα και ετι καθ υπερβολην οδον υμιν δεικνυμι
But desire earnestly the greater gifts, and yet shew I unto you a way of more surpassing excellence.
