The Use of Spiritual Gifts

12Now concerning spiritual [gifts,] brethren, I do not want you to be unaware.G1161G4012G4152G80G2309G3756G2309G5209G50 2You know that when you were pagans, [you were] led astray to the dumb idols, however you were led.G1492G3754G2258G1484G520G4314G880G1497G5613G302G71 3Therefore I make known to you, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed"; and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.G1352G1107G5213G1107G3754G3762G2980G1722G4151G2316G3004G2424G331G2532G3762G1410G2036G2424G2962G1508G1722G40G4151 4Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.G1161G1526G1243G5486G1161G846G4151 5And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord.G2532G1526G1243G1248G2532G846G2962 6And there are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all [persons.]G2532G1526G1243G1755G1161G2076G846G2316G3588G1754G3956G1722G3956 7But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.G1161G5321G4151G1325G1538G4314G4851 8For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;G1063G3739G3303G1325G1223G4151G3056G4678G1161G243G3056G1108G2596G846G4151 9to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,G1161G2087G4102G1722G846G4151G1161G243G5486G2386G1722G846G4151 10and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another [various] kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues.G1161G243G1755G1411G1161G243G4394G1161G243G1253G4151G1161G2087G1085G1100G1161G243G2058G1100 11But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.G1161G3956G5023G1754G1520G2532G846G4151G1244G1538G2398G2531G1014 12For even as the body is one and [yet] has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.G1063G2509G4983G2076G1520G2532G2192G4183G3196G1161G3956G3196G1520G4983G5607G4183G2076G1520G4983G3779G2532G5547 13For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.G1063G2532G1722G1520G4151G907G2249G3956G907G1519G1520G4983G1535G2453G1535G1672G1535G1401G1535G1658G2532G4222G3956G4222G1519G1520G4151 14For the body is not one member, but many.G2532G1063G4983G2076G3756G1520G3196G235G4183 15If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not [a part] of the body," it is not for this reason any the less [a part] of the body.G1437G4228G2036G3754G1510G3756G5495G1510G3756G1537G4983G2076G3756G3844G5124G3756G1537G4983 16And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not [a part] of the body," it is not for this reason any the less [a part] of the body.G2532G1437G3775G2036G3754G1510G3756G3788G1510G3756G1537G4983G2076G3756G3844G5124G3756G1537G4983 17If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?G1487G3650G4983G3788G4226G189G1487G3650G189G4226G3750 18But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.G1161G3570G5087G2316G5087G3196G1538G1520G846G1722G4983G2531G2309 19And if they were all one member, where would the body be?G1161G1487G2258G3956G1520G3196G4226G4983 20But now there are many members, but one body.G1161G3568G3303G4183G3196G1161G1520G4983 21And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; or again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."G1161G3788G3756G1410G2036G5495G2192G3756G5532G4675G2228G3825G2776G4228G2192G3756G5532G5216 22On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;G235G4183G3123G3196G4983G1380G5225G772G2076G316 23and those [members] of the body, which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our unseemly [members come to] have more abundant seemliness,G2532G3739G4983G1380G1511G820G5125G4060G4055G5092G2532G2257G809G2192G4055G2157 24whereas our seemly [members] have no need [of it.] But God has [so] composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that [member] which lacked,G1161G2257G2158G2192G3756G5532G235G2316G4786G4983G4786G1325G4055G5092G5302 25that there should be no division in the body, but [that] the members should have the same care for one another.G3363G5600G3363G4978G1722G4983G235G3196G3309G846G3309G5228G240 26And 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 Christ's body, and individually members of it.G1161G5210G2075G4983G5547G2532G3196G1537G3313 28And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, [various] kinds of tongues.G2532G3739G2316G5087G3303G1722G1577G4412G652G1208G4396G5154G1320G1899G1411G1534G5486G2386G484G2941G1085G1100 29All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not [workers of] miracles, are they?G3361G3956G652G3361G3956G4396G3361G3956G1320G3361G3956G1411 30All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they?G3361G2192G3956G5486G2386G3956G3361G2980G1100G3361G3956G1329 31But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I show you a still more excellent way.G1161G2206G2909G5486G2532G2089G1166G5213G2596G5236G3598
