Diversity of Spiritual Gifts

12About matters of the spirit: brothers, I do not want you to be unaware.G1161G4012G4152G80G2309G3756G2309G5209G50 2You know how, when you were pagans, you were led to dumb idols— being led astray.G1492G3754G2258G1484G520G4314G880G1497G5613G302G71 3Therefore I am informing you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.G1352G1107G5213G1107G3754G3762G2980G1722G4151G2316G3004G2424G331G2532G3762G1410G2036G2424G2962G1508G1722G40G4151 4Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit.G1161G1526G1243G5486G1161G846G4151 5There are different ministries, but the same Lord.G2532G1526G1243G1248G2532G846G2962 6And there are different activities, but the same God is active in everyone and everything.G2532G1526G1243G1755G1161G2076G846G2316G3588G1754G3956G1722G3956 7A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person to produce what is beneficial:G1161G5321G4151G1325G1538G4314G4851 8to one is given a message of wisdom through the Spirit, to another, a message of knowledge by the same Spirit,G1063G3739G3303G1325G1223G4151G3056G4678G1161G243G3056G1108G2596G846G4151 9to another, faith by the same Spirit, to another, gifts of healing by the one Spirit,G1161G2087G4102G1722G846G4151G1161G243G5486G2386G1722G846G4151 10to another, the performing of miracles, to another, prophecy, to another, distinguishing between spirits, to another, different kinds of languages, to another, interpretation of languages.G1161G243G1755G1411G1161G243G4394G1161G243G1253G4151G1161G2087G1085G1100G1161G243G2058G1100 11But one and the same Spirit is active in all these, distributing to each one as He wills.G1161G3956G5023G1754G1520G2532G846G4151G1244G1538G2398G2531G1014

Unity Yet Diversity in the Body

12For as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of that body, though many, are one body— so also is Christ.G1063G2509G4983G2076G1520G2532G2192G4183G3196G1161G3956G3196G1520G4983G5607G4183G2076G1520G4983G3779G2532G5547 13For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body— whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free— and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.G1063G2532G1722G1520G4151G907G2249G3956G907G1519G1520G4983G1535G2453G1535G1672G1535G1401G1535G1658G2532G4222G3956G4222G1519G1520G4151 14So the body is not one part but many.G2532G1063G4983G2076G3756G1520G3196G235G4183 15If the foot should say, "Because I'm not a hand, I don't belong to the body," in spite of this it still belongs to the body.G1437G4228G2036G3754G1510G3756G5495G1510G3756G1537G4983G2076G3756G3844G5124G3756G1537G4983 16And if the ear should say, "Because I'm not an eye, I don't belong to the body," in spite of this it still belongs to the body.G2532G1437G3775G2036G3754G1510G3756G3788G1510G3756G1537G4983G2076G3756G3844G5124G3756G1537G4983 17If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were an ear, where would be the sense of smell?G1487G3650G4983G3788G4226G189G1487G3650G189G4226G3750 18But now God has placed the parts, each one of them, in the body just as He wanted.G1161G3570G5087G2316G5087G3196G1538G1520G846G1722G4983G2531G2309 19And if they were all the same part, where would the body be?G1161G1487G2258G3956G1520G3196G4226G4983 20Now there are many parts, yet one body.G1161G3568G3303G4183G3196G1161G1520G4983 21So the eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" nor again the head to the feet, "I don't need you!"G1161G3788G3756G1410G2036G5495G2192G3756G5532G4675G2228G3825G2776G4228G2192G3756G5532G5216 22On the contrary, all the more, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are necessary.G235G4183G3123G3196G4983G1380G5225G772G2076G316 23And those parts of the body that we think to be less honorable, we clothe these with greater honor, and our unpresentable parts have a better presentation.G2532G3739G4983G1380G1511G820G5125G4060G4055G5092G2532G2257G809G2192G4055G2157 24But our presentable parts have no need [of clothing]. Instead, God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the less honorable,G1161G2257G2158G2192G3756G5532G235G2316G4786G4983G4786G1325G4055G5092G5302 25so that there would be no division in the body, but that the members would have the same concern for each other.G3363G5600G3363G4978G1722G4983G235G3196G3309G846G3309G5228G240 26So if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.G2532G1535G1520G3196G3958G3956G3196G4841G1535G1520G3196G1392G3956G3196G4796 27Now you are the body of Christ, and individual members of it.G1161G5210G2075G4983G5547G2532G3196G1537G3313 28And God has placed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, next, miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, managing, various kinds of languages.G2532G3739G2316G5087G3303G1722G1577G4412G652G1208G4396G5154G1320G1899G1411G1534G5486G2386G484G2941G1085G1100 29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all do miracles?G3361G3956G652G3361G3956G4396G3361G3956G1320G3361G3956G1411 30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in languages? Do all interpret?G3361G2192G3956G5486G2386G3956G3361G2980G1100G3361G3956G1329 31But desire the greater gifts. And I will show you an even better way.G1161G2206G2909G5486G2532G2089G1166G5213G2596G5236G3598
