| 1 But concerning spiritual manifestations, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant. |
|
| 2 Ye know that when ye were of the nations ye were led away to dumb idols, in whatever way ye might be led. |
|
| 3 I give you therefore to know, that no one, speaking in the power of the Spirit of God, says, Curse on Jesus; and no one can say, Lord Jesus, unless in the power of the Holy Spirit. |

| 4 But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit; |
|
| 5 and there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord; |
|
| 6 and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all. |
|
| 7 But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit. |
|
| 8 For to one, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; |
|
| 9 and to a different one faith, in the power of the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healing in the power of the same Spirit;
|
|
| 10 and to another operations of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; and to a different one kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues. |
|
| 11 But all these things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases. |

|
| 12 For even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ. |
|
| 13 For also in the power of one Spirit *we* have all been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or free, and have all been given to drink of one Spirit. |
|
| 14 For also the body is not one member but many. |
|
| 15 If the foot say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body? |
|
| 16 And if the ear say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body? |
|
| 17 If the whole body were an eye, where the hearing? if all hearing, where the smelling? |
|
| 18 But now God has set the members, each one of them in the body, according as it has pleased him. |
|
| 19 But if all were one member, where the body? |
|
| 20 But now the members are many, and the body one. |
|
| 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, I have not need of thee; or again, the head to the feet, I have not need of you. |
|
| 22 But much rather, the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary; |
|
| 23 and those parts of the body which we esteem to be the more void of honour, these we clothe with more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness; |
|
| 24 but our comely parts have not need. But God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to the part that lacked; |
|
| 25 that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern one for another. |
|
| 26 And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; and if one member be glorified, all the members rejoice with it. |
|
| 27 Now *ye* are Christ's body, and members in particular. |
|
| 28 And God has set certain in the assembly: first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then miraculous powers; then gifts of healings; helps; governments; kinds of tongues. |
|
| 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all in possession of miraculous powers? |
|
| 30 have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? |
|
| 31 But desire earnestly the greater gifts, and yet shew I unto you a way of more surpassing excellence. |
