1 Corinthians 12
12
1NOW concerning spiritual things, my brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2You know that when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were led.
3Wherefore 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.
4Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit;
5And there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord;
6And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all.
7And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit.
8To one indeed, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom: and to another, the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
9To another, faith in the same spirit; to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit;
10To 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.
11But all these things one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will.
12For 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.
13For 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.
14For the body also is not one member, but many.
15If the foot should say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16And if the ear should say, because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
17If the whole body were the eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?
18But now God hath set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased him.
19And if they all were one member, where would be the body?
20But now there are many members indeed, yet one body.
21And 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.
22Yea, much more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body, are more necessary.
23And 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.
24But our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour,
25That there might be no schism in the body; but the members might be mutually careful one for another.
26And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it; or if one member glory, all the members rejoice with it.
27Now you are the body of Christ, and members of member.
28And 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.
29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all doctors?
30Are all workers of miracles? Have all the grace of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
31But be zealous for the better gifts. And I shew unto you yet 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.
