1 Corinthians 12
1¶ Now regarding spiritual things, brothers, I would not have you ignore them.
2Ye know that when ye were Gentiles, ye went, even as ye were led, unto the dumb idols.
3Therefore I give you to understand, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus anathema and that no one can call Jesus Lord but by the Holy Spirit.
4Now there is dispersal of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5And there is dispersal of ministries, but the same Lord.
6And there is dispersal of operations, but it is the same God who works all in each one.
7But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one to profit with.
8For to one is given by the Spirit a word of wisdom; to another, a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;
9to another, faith by the same Spirit; to another, gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10to another, the operation of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, discerning of spirits; to another, different kinds of tongues; to another, the interpretation of tongues:
11one and the same Spirit operates all these things, dispersing to each one his own gift as he wills.
12¶ For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also the Christ.
13For by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether we are Jews or Greeks, whether we are slaves or free, and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
14For the body is not one member, but many.
15If the foot shall say, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body?
16And if the ear shall say, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body?
17If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?
18But now God has set the members each one of them in the body, as it has pleased him.
19And if they were all one member, where would the body be?
20But now they are indeed many members, yet but one body.
21And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee; nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22For those members of the body, which seem to be weaker, are much more necessary;
23and those members of the body which we think to be more vile, these we dress with more abundant honour; and those in us who are more indecent have more honesty.
24For those in us who are more honest need nothing, but God has ordered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that one which lacked,
25that there should be no contradiction in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another.
26And if one member suffers, all the members suffer together; or if one member is honoured, all the members rejoice together.
27¶ Now ye are the body of Christ and members in particular.
28And God did set certain ones in the congregation: {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that faculties, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? do all have faculties?
30Do all have gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31But earnestly pursue the best gifts, and yet I show unto you a more excellent way.

1 Corinthians 12
12
1But concerning spiritual manifestations, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant. 2Ye know that when ye were of the nations ye were led away to dumb idols, in whatever way ye might be led. 3I 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. 4But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5and there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord; 6and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all. 7But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit. 8For to one, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; 9and 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; 10and 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. 11But all these things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases.
12For 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. 13For 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. 14For also the body is not one member but many. 15If 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? 16And 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? 17If the whole body were an eye, where the hearing? if all hearing, where the smelling? 18But now God has set the members, each one of them in the body, according as it has pleased him. 19But if all were one member, where the body? 20But now the members are many, and the body one. 21The 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. 22But much rather, the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary; 23and 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; 24but our comely parts have not need. But God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to the part that lacked; 25that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern one for another. 26And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; and if one member be glorified, all the members rejoice with it.
27Now ye are Christ's body, and members in particular. 28And 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. 29Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all in possession of miraculous powers? 30have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31But desire earnestly the greater gifts, and yet shew I unto you a way of more surpassing excellence.
