1 Corinthians 12

Spiritual Gifts
1#1Co 14:37Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant. 2#Ps 115:5; 1Th 1:9You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. 3#Jn 13:13; 1Jn 4:2–3Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed!” And no one can say, “Jesus is the Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
4#Heb 2:4; Ro 12:4–6There are various gifts, but the same Spirit. 5There are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6#1Co 15:28There are various operations, but it is the same God who operates all of them in all people.
7But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to everyone for the common good. 8#2Co 8:7; 1Co 1:5To one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom, to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit, 9#2Co 4:13; 1Co 13:2to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10#Mk 16:17; 1Jn 4:1; 1Co 12:28–30to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11#1Co 12:4; 2Co 10:13But that one and very same Spirit works all these, dividing to each one individually as He will.
One Body With Many Members
12#1Co 12:27; 10:17For as the body is one and has many parts, and all the many parts of that one body are one body, so also is Christ. 13#Jn 7:37–39; Gal 3:28For by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether we are Jews or Gentiles, whether we are slaves or free, and we have all been made to drink of one Spirit. 14The body is not one part, but many.
15If the foot says, “Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 16And if the ear says, “Because I am not the 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 body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? 18#1Co 12:11; 12:28But now God has established the parts, every one of them, in the body as it has pleased Him. 19If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20So there are many parts, yet one body.
21The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22No, those parts of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. 23And those parts of the body which we think are less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor. And our less respectable parts are treated with much more respect, 24whereas our more respectable parts have no need of this. But God has composed the body, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacks it, 25so that there should be no division in the body, but that the parts should have the same care for one another. 26#Ro 12:15If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts rejoice with it.
27#Ro 12:5; Eph 1:23Now you are the body of Christ and members individually. 28#Heb 13:17; 13:24God has put these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various tongues. 29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 30Do all have the gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31#1Co 14:39But earnestly covet the greater gifts.
Love
Yet I show you a more excellent way.

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.
