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 Andthe 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: -
