With regard to spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.

1 Corinthians 12 : 2 (NET)

You know that when you were pagans you were often led astray by speechless idols, however you were led.

So I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12 : 4 (NET)

Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12 : 5 (NET)

And there are different ministries, but the same Lord.

1 Corinthians 12 : 6 (NET)

And there are different results, but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.

1 Corinthians 12 : 7 (NET)

To each person the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the benefit of all.

1 Corinthians 12 : 8 (NET)

For one person is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, and another the message of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

1 Corinthians 12 : 9 (NET)

to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

1 Corinthians 12 : 10 (NET)

to another performance of miracles, to another prophecy, and to another discernment of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues.

1 Corinthians 12 : 11 (NET)

It is one and the same Spirit, distributing as he decides to each person, who produces all these things.

1 Corinthians 12 : 12 (NET)

For just as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body� though many� are one body, so too is Christ.

1 Corinthians 12 : 13 (NET)

For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Whether Jews or Greeks or slaves or free, we were all made to drink of the one Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12 : 14 (NET)

For in fact the body is not a single member, but many.

1 Corinthians 12 : 15 (NET)

If the foot says, "Since I am not a hand, I am not part of the body," it does not lose its membership in the body because of that.

1 Corinthians 12 : 16 (NET)

And if the ear says, "Since I am not an eye, I am not part of the body," it does not lose its membership in the body because of that.

1 Corinthians 12 : 17 (NET)

If the whole body were an eye, what part would do the hearing? If the whole were an ear, what part would exercise the sense of smell?

1 Corinthians 12 : 18 (NET)

But as a matter of fact, God has placed each of the members in the body just as he decided.

1 Corinthians 12 : 19 (NET)

If they were all the same member, where would the body be?

1 Corinthians 12 : 20 (NET)

So now there are many members, but one body.

1 Corinthians 12 : 21 (NET)

The eye cannot say to the hand, "I do not need you," nor in turn can the head say to the foot, "I do not need you."

1 Corinthians 12 : 22 (NET)

On the contrary, those members that seem to be weaker are essential,

1 Corinthians 12 : 23 (NET)

and those members we consider less honorable we clothe with greater honor, and our unpresentable members are clothed with dignity,

1 Corinthians 12 : 24 (NET)

but our presentable members do not need this. Instead, God has blended together the body, giving greater honor to the lesser member,

1 Corinthians 12 : 25 (NET)

so that there may be no division in the body, but the members may have mutual concern for one another.

1 Corinthians 12 : 26 (NET)

If one member suffers, everyone suffers with it. If a member is honored, all rejoice with it.

1 Corinthians 12 : 27 (NET)

Now you are Christ's body, and each of you is a member of it.

1 Corinthians 12 : 28 (NET)

And God has placed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, gifts of healing, helps, gifts of leadership, different kinds of tongues.

1 Corinthians 12 : 29 (NET)

Not all are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they? Not all are teachers, are they? Not all perform miracles, do they?

1 Corinthians 12 : 30 (NET)

Not all have gifts of healing, do they? Not all speak in tongues, do they? Not all interpret, do they?

1 Corinthians 12 : 31 (NET)

But you should be eager for the greater gifts. And now I will show you a way that is beyond comparison.
