| 1 But, concerning the spiritually gifted, brethren, I am not wishing you to be ignorant. |
|
| 2 Ye know that, when ye were of the nations, unto the dumb idols, howsoever ye were being led, ye were seduced. |
|
| 3 Wherefore, I give you to know–that, no one, in God's Spirit speaking, saith–Accursed Jesus! and, no one, can say–Lord Jesus! save in [the] Holy Spirit. |
|
| 4 But, distributions of gifts, there are, yet the same Spirit, |
|
| 5 And, distributions of ministries, there are, and the same Lord, |
|
| 6 And, distributions of energies, there are, and the same God–who energiseth all things in all. |
|
| 7 But, unto each one, is given the manifesting of the Spirit, with a view to that which is profitable; |
|
| 8 For, unto one, indeed, through the Spirit, is given, a word of wisdom, but, unto another, a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;– |
|
| 9 Unto a different one, faith, in the same Spirit, and, unto another, gifts of healings, in the one Spirit,
|
|
| 10 And, unto another, energies of mighty works, [and], unto another, prophesying, [and], unto another, discriminations of spirits,–unto a different one, kinds of tongues, and, unto another, translation of tongues;– |
|
| 11 But, all these, energiseth the one and the same Spirit, distributing unto each one, peculiarly, even as it is disposed. |
|
| |
|
| 12 For, just as, the body, is one, and yet hath many members, but, all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so, also, the Christ;– |
|
| 13 For, even to one Spirit, we all, into one body, have been immersed,–whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free,–and, all, of one Spirit, have been caused to drink. |
|
| 14 For, the body also, is not one member, but many: |
|
| 15 Though the foot should say–Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, Is it, therefore, not, of the body? |
|
| 16 And, though the ear should say–Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, Is it, therefore, not, of the body? |
|
| 17 If, the whole body, were, an eye, where were the hearing? If, the whole were, hearing, where were, the smelling? |
|
| 18 But, now, hath God set the members, each one of them in the body, even as he pleased. |
|
| 19 But, if they all had been one member, Where had been, the body? |
|
| 20 Now, however there are many members, yet one body; |
|
| 21 [And] the eye cannot say unto the hand–I have no need of thee,–nor, again, the head, unto the feet–I have no need of you:– |
|
| 22 Nay! much more, the members which seem to be weaker are necessary, |
|
| 23 And, the parts of the body which we deem to be less honourable, on these, more abundant honour, do we bestow, and, our uncomely parts, have, more abundant comeliness, |
|
| 24 Whereas, our comely parts, have, no need. But, God, hath tempered the body together,–unto that which was lacking, giving more abundant honour;– |
|
| 25 That there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have, the same, care, one for another; |
|
| 26 And, whether one member, suffereth, all the members, suffer with it, or, a member is glorified, all the members, rejoice together. |
|
| |
|
| 27 Now, ye, are the body of Christ, and members severally;– |
|
| 28 And God hath, indeed, set, certain, in the assembly,–first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that mighty works, then gifts of healings, helps, guidings, kinds of tongues. |
|
| 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all mighty works? |
|
| 30 Have, all, gifts of healings? Do, all, with tongues, speak? Do, all, translate? |
|
| 31 Be envious, however, of the greater gifts; and, yet, a much more excellent way, unto you, I point out:– |
