¹ And concerning the spiritual things, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant;² you have known that you were nations, being carried away as you were led to the mute idols;³ for this reason, I give you to understand that no one, speaking in the Spirit of God, says Jesus [is] accursed, and no one is able to say Jesus [is] LORD, except in the Holy Spirit.⁴ And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit;⁵ and there are diversities of ministries, and the same Lord;⁶ and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God—who is working all in all.⁷ And to each has been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit;⁸ for to one through the Spirit has been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;⁹ and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit;¹⁰ and to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another [various] kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues:¹¹ and the one and the same Spirit works all these, dividing to each individually as He intends.

¹² For even as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also [is] the Christ,¹³ for also in one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all were made to drink one Spirit,¹⁴ for also the body is not one member, but many.¹⁵ If the foot may say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body," is it not, because of this, not of the body?¹⁶ And if the ear may say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body," is it not, because of this, not of the body?¹⁷ If the whole body [were] an eye, where the hearing? If the whole hearing, where the smelling?¹⁸ And now, God set the members, each one of them in the body, according as He willed,¹⁹ and if all were one member, where [is] the body?²⁰ And now, indeed, [are] many members, but one body;²¹ and an eye is not able to say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."²² But much more the members of the body seeming to be weaker are necessary,²³ and those that we think to be less honorable of the body, around these we put more abundant honor, and our unseemly things have more abundant seemliness,²⁴ and our seemly things have no need; but God tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to the lacking part,²⁵ that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another,²⁶ and whether one member suffers, all the members suffer with [it], or one member is glorified, all the members rejoice with [it];

²⁷ and you are the body of Christ, and members in particular.²⁸ And some, indeed, God set in the Assembly: first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterward powers, afterward gifts of healings, helpings, governings, various kinds of tongues.²⁹ [Are] all apostles? [Are] all prophets? [Are] all teachers? [Are] all powers?³⁰ [Do] all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?³¹ And earnestly desire the better gifts; and yet I show to you a far [more] excelling way:
