[1] Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I would not have you ignorant.
[1] ---
[2] You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, even as you were led.
[2] ---
[3] Why I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
[3] ---
[4] Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
[4] ---
[5] And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
[5] ---
[6] And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which works all in all.
[6] ---
[7] But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit with.
[7] ---
[8] For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
[8] ---
[9] To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
[9] ---
[10] To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
[10] ---
[11] But all these works that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
[11] ---
[12] For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
[12] ---
[13] For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
[13] ---
[14] For the body is not one member, but many.
[14] ---
[15] If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
[15] ---
[16] And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
[16] ---
[17] If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
[17] ---
[18] But now has God set the members every one of them in the body, as it has pleased him.
[18] ---
[19] And if they were all one member, where were the body?
[19] ---
[20] But now are they many members, yet but one body.
[20] ---
[21] And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
[21] ---
[22] No, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
[22] ---
[23] And those members of the body, which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
[23] ---
[24] For our comely parts have no need: but God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked.
[24] ---
[25] That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
[25] ---
[26] And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it.
[26] ---
[27] Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
[27] ---
[28] And God has set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
[28] ---
[29] Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
[29] ---
[30] Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
[30] ---
[31] But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I to you a more excellent way.
