12Now, concerning what you wrote about the gifts from the Holy Spirit. I want you to know the truth about them, my friends.G1161G4012G4152G80G2309G3756G2309G5209G50 2You know that while you were still heathen, you were led astray in many ways to the worship of lifeless idols.G1492G3754G2258G1484G520G4314G880G1497G5613G302G71 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.G1352G1107G5213G1107G3754G3762G2980G1722G4151G2316G3004G2424G331G2532G3762G1410G2036G2424G2962G1508G1722G40G4151 4There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit gives them.G1161G1526G1243G5486G1161G846G4151 5There are different ways of serving, but the same Lord is served.G2532G1526G1243G1248G2532G846G2962 6There are different abilities to perform service, but the same God gives ability to all for their particular service.G2532G1526G1243G1755G1161G2076G846G2316G3588G1754G3956G1722G3956 7The Spirit's presence is shown in some way in each person for the good of all.G1161G5321G4151G1325G1538G4314G4851 8The Spirit gives one person a message full of wisdom, while to another person the same Spirit gives a message full of knowledge.G1063G3739G3303G1325G1223G4151G3056G4678G1161G243G3056G1108G2596G846G4151 9One and the same Spirit gives faith to one person, while to another person he gives the power to heal.G1161G2087G4102G1722G846G4151G1161G243G5486G2386G1722G846G4151 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.G1161G243G1755G1411G1161G243G4394G1161G243G1253G4151G1161G2087G1085G1100G1161G243G2058G1100 11But it is one and the same Spirit who does all this; as he wishes, he gives a different gift to each person.G1161G3956G5023G1754G1520G2532G846G4151G1244G1538G2398G2531G1014 12Christ is like a single body, which has many parts; it is still one body, even though it is made up of different parts.G1063G2509G4983G2076G1520G2532G2192G4183G3196G1161G3956G3196G1520G4983G5607G4183G2076G1520G4983G3779G2532G5547 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.G1063G2532G1722G1520G4151G907G2249G3956G907G1519G1520G4983G1535G2453G1535G1672G1535G1401G1535G1658G2532G4222G3956G4222G1519G1520G4151 14For the body itself is not made up of only one part, but of many parts.G2532G1063G4983G2076G3756G1520G3196G235G4183 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.G1437G4228G2036G3754G1510G3756G5495G1510G3756G1537G4983G2076G3756G3844G5124G3756G1537G4983 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.G2532G1437G3775G2036G3754G1510G3756G3788G1510G3756G1537G4983G2076G3756G3844G5124G3756G1537G4983 17If the whole body were just an eye, how could it hear? And if it were only an ear, how could it smell?G1487G3650G4983G3788G4226G189G1487G3650G189G4226G3750 18As it is, however, God put every different part in the body just as he wanted it to be.G1161G3570G5087G2316G5087G3196G1538G1520G846G1722G4983G2531G2309 19There would not be a body if it were all only one part!G1161G1487G2258G3956G1520G3196G4226G4983 20As it is, there are many parts but one body.G1161G3568G3303G4183G3196G1161G1520G4983 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!"G1161G3788G3756G1410G2036G5495G2192G3756G5532G4675G2228G3825G2776G4228G2192G3756G5532G5216 22On the contrary, we cannot do without the parts of the body that seem to be weaker;G235G4183G3123G3196G4983G1380G5225G772G2076G316 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,G2532G3739G4983G1380G1511G820G5125G4060G4055G5092G2532G2257G809G2192G4055G2157 24which the more beautiful parts do not need. God himself has put the body together in such a way as to give greater honor to those parts that need it.G1161G2257G2158G2192G3756G5532G235G2316G4786G4983G4786G1325G4055G5092G5302 25And so there is no division in the body, but all its different parts have the same concern for one another.G3363G5600G3363G4978G1722G4983G235G3196G3309G846G3309G5228G240 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.G2532G1535G1520G3196G3958G3956G3196G4841G1535G1520G3196G1392G3956G3196G4796 27All of you are Christ's body, and each one is a part of it.G1161G5210G2075G4983G5547G2532G3196G1537G3313 28In 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.G2532G3739G2316G5087G3303G1722G1577G4412G652G1208G4396G5154G1320G1899G1411G1534G5486G2386G484G2941G1085G1100 29They are not all apostles or prophets or teachers. Not everyone has the power to work miraclesG3361G3956G652G3361G3956G4396G3361G3956G1320G3361G3956G1411 30or to heal diseases or to speak in strange tongues or to explain what is said.G3361G2192G3956G5486G2386G3956G3361G2980G1100G3361G3956G1329 31Set your hearts, then, on the more important gifts. Best of all, however, is the following way.G1161G2206G2909G5486G2532G2089G1166G5213G2596G5236G3598
