¹ Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brothers, I would not have you ignorant.² You know that when you were Gentiles [you were] led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.³ Therefore I make known to you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God says, Accursed Jesus; and no man can say, Lord Jesus, but in the Holy Spirit.⁴ Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.⁵ And there are diversities of servings, and the same Lord.⁶ And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all.⁷ But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit as well.⁸ For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:⁹ to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;¹⁰ and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to another [diverse] kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:¹¹ but the one and the same Spirit works all these, dividing to each one severally even as he wills.

¹² For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.¹³ For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many.¹⁵ If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.¹⁶ And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.¹⁷ If the whole body is an eye, where is the hearing? If the whole is hearing, where is the smelling?¹⁸ But now God has set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.¹⁹ And if there is only one member, where is the body?²⁰ But now there are many members, but one body.²¹ And the eye can't say to the hand, I have no need of you: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.²² No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:²³ and those [parts] 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;²⁴ whereas our comely [parts] have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that [part] which lacked;²⁵ that there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.²⁶ And whether one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

²⁷ Now you are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.²⁸ And God has set some in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, [diverse] kinds of tongues.²⁹ Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all [workers of] miracles?³⁰ do all have gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?³¹ But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way I show to you.
