Spiritual Gifts: Unity in Diversity

12Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant:G1161G4012G4152G80G2309G3756G2309G5209G502You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led.G1492G3754G2258G1484G520G4314G880G1497G5613G302G713Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.G1352G1107G5213G1107G3754G3762G2980G1722G4151G2316G3004G2424G331G2532G3762G1410G2036G2424G2962G1508G1722G40G41514There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.G1161G1526G1243G5486G1161G846G41515There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.G2532G1526G1243G1248G2532G846G29626And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.G2532G1526G1243G1755G1161G2076G846G2316G3588G1754G3956G1722G39567But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:G1161G5321G4151G1325G1538G4314G48518for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit,G1063G3739G3303G1325G1223G4151G3056G4678G1161G243G3056G1108G2596G846G41519to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,G1161G2087G4102G1722G846G4151G1161G243G5486G2386G1722G846G415110to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.G1161G243G1755G1411G1161G243G4394G1161G243G1253G4151G1161G2087G1085G1100G1161G243G2058G110011But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.G1161G3956G5023G1754G1520G2532G846G4151G1244G1538G2398G2531G1014

Unity and Diversity in One Body

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 Christ.G1063G2509G4983G2076G1520G2532G2192G4183G3196G1161G3956G3196G1520G4983G5607G4183G2076G1520G4983G3779G2532G554713For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.G1063G2532G1722G1520G4151G907G2249G3956G907G1519G1520G4983G1535G2453G1535G1672G1535G1401G1535G1658G2532G4222G3956G4222G1519G1520G415114For in fact the body is not one member but many.G2532G1063G4983G2076G3756G1520G3196G235G418315If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body?G1437G4228G2036G3754G1510G3756G5495G1510G3756G1537G4983G2076G3756G3844G5124G3756G1537G498316And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body?G2532G1437G3775G2036G3754G1510G3756G3788G1510G3756G1537G4983G2076G3756G3844G5124G3756G1537G498317If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?G1487G3650G4983G3788G4226G189G1487G3650G189G4226G375018But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.G1161G3570G5087G2316G5087G3196G1538G1520G846G1722G4983G2531G230919And if they were all one member, where would the body be?G1161G1487G2258G3956G1520G3196G4226G498320But now indeed there are many members, yet one body.G1161G3568G3303G4183G3196G1161G1520G498321And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."G1161G3788G3756G1410G2036G5495G2192G3756G5532G4675G2228G3825G2776G4228G2192G3756G5532G521622No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.G235G4183G3123G3196G4983G1380G5225G772G2076G31623And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty,G2532G3739G4983G1380G1511G820G5125G4060G4055G5092G2532G2257G809G2192G4055G215724but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it,G1161G2257G2158G2192G3756G5532G235G2316G4786G4983G4786G1325G4055G5092G530225that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.G3363G5600G3363G4978G1722G4983G235G3196G3309G846G3309G5228G24026And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.G2532G1535G1520G3196G3958G3956G3196G4841G1535G1520G3196G1392G3956G3196G479627Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.G1161G5210G2075G4983G5547G2532G3196G1537G331328And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.G2532G3739G2316G5087G3303G1722G1577G4412G652G1208G4396G5154G1320G1899G1411G1534G5486G2386G484G2941G1085G110029Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?G3361G3956G652G3361G3956G4396G3361G3956G1320G3361G3956G141130Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?G3361G2192G3956G5486G2386G3956G3361G2980G1100G3361G3956G132931But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.G1161G2206G2909G5486G2532G2089G1166G5213G2596G5236G3598
