Qorintiyim Aleph (1 Corinthians) 12
12
1And concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant.
2You know that you were nations,#See also Eph. 2:11; Eph. 4:17; 1Pe. 4:3; 1Thes. 4:5 led away to the dumb idols, even as you might be led.
3Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of Elohim says יהושע is a curse, and no one is able to say that יהושע is Master except by the Set-apart Spirit.
4And there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5There are different kinds of services, but the same Master.
6And there are different kinds of workings, but it is the same Elohim who is working all in all.
7And to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profiting,
8for to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
9and to another belief by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit,
10and to another operations of powers, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, and to another kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues.
11But one and the same Spirit works all these, distributing to each one individually as He intends.
12For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is the Messiah.
13For indeed by one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Yehuḏim or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink into one Spirit.
14For indeed the body is not one member but many.
15If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” does it therefore not belong to the body?
16And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” does it therefore not belong to the body?
17If all the body was an eye, where would be the hearing? If all hearing, where would be the smelling?
18But now Elohim has set the members, each one of them, in the body, even as He pleased.
19And if they all had been one member, where would the body be?
20And now, there are indeed many members, but one body.
21And an eye is unable to say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
22But much rather, those members of the body which are thought to be weaker are necessary.
23And to those of the body which we think to be less respected, these we present greater respect. And our unseemly members have greater seemliness,
24whereas our seemly members have no need. But Elohim blended together the body, having given greater respect to that member which lacks it,
25that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same concern one for another.
26And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is esteemed, all the members rejoice with it.
27And you are a body of Messiah, and members individually.
28And Elohim has appointed these in the assembly: firstly emissaries, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, ministrations, kinds of tongues.
29Are all emissaries? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?
30Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
31But earnestly seek the better gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

Gifts from the Holy Spirit
1Now, concerning what you wrote about the gifts from the Holy Spirit.
I want you to know the truth about them, my brothers and sisters. 2You know that while you were still heathen, you were led astray in many ways to the worship of lifeless idols. 3I want you to know that no one who is led by God's Spirit can say “A curse on Jesus!” and no one can confess “Jesus is Lord”, without being guided by the Holy Spirit.

Rom 12.6–8
There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit gives them. 5There are different ways of serving, but the same Lord is served. 6There are different abilities to perform service, but the same God gives ability to all for their particular service. 7The Spirit's presence is shown in some way in each person for the good of all. 8The Spirit gives one person a message full of wisdom, while to another person the same Spirit gives a message full of knowledge. 9One and the same Spirit gives faith to one person, while to another person he gives the power to heal. 10The Spirit gives one person the power to work miracles; to another, the gift of speaking God's message; and to yet another, the ability to tell the difference between gifts that come from the Spirit and those that do not. To one person he gives the ability to speak in strange tongues, and to another he gives the ability to explain what is said. 11But it is one and the same Spirit who does all this; as he wishes, he gives a different gift to each person.
One Body with Many Parts
12 #
Rom 12.4–5
Christ is like a single body, which has many parts; it is still one body, even though it is made up of different parts. 13In the same way, all of us, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether slaves or free, have been baptized into the one body by the same Spirit, and we have all been given the one Spirit to drink.
14For the body itself is not made up of only one part, but of many parts. 15If the foot were to say, “Because I am not a hand, I don't belong to the body,” that would not keep it from being a part of the body. 16And if the ear were to say, “Because I am not an eye, I don't belong to the body,” that would not keep it from being a part of the body. 17If the whole body were just an eye, how could it hear? And if it were only an ear, how could it smell? 18As it is, however, God put every different part in the body just as he wanted it to be. 19There would not be a body if it were all only one part! 20As it is, there are many parts but one body.
21So then, the eye cannot say to the hand, “I don't need you!” Nor can the head say to the feet, “Well, I don't need you!” 22On the contrary, we cannot do without the parts of the body that seem to be weaker; 23and those parts that we think aren't worth very much are the ones which we treat with greater care; while the parts of the body which don't look very nice are treated with special modesty, 24which the more beautiful parts do not need. God himself has put the body together in such a way as to give greater honour to those parts that need it. 25And so there is no division in the body, but all its different parts have the same concern for one another. 26If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts suffer with it; if one part is praised, all the other parts share its happiness.
27All of you are Christ's body, and each one is a part of it. 28#Eph 4.11In the church God has put all in place: in the first place apostles, in the second place prophets, and in the third place teachers; then those who perform miracles, followed by those who are given the power to heal or to help others or to direct them or to speak in strange tongues. 29They are not all apostles or prophets or teachers. Not everyone has the power to work miracles 30or to heal diseases or to speak in strange tongues or to explain what is said. 31Set your hearts, then, on the more important gifts.
Best of all, however, is the following way.
