1 Corinthians - ch 12 v 1 - 20
- Now concerning spiritual `gifts', brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
- Ye know that when ye were Gentiles `ye were' led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might led.
- Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit.
- Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
- And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord.
- And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all.
- But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.
- For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:
- to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;
- and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to another `divers' kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:
- but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.
- For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
- For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.
- For the body is not one member, but many.
- 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.
- 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.
- If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
- But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.
- And if they were all one member, where were the body?
- But now they are many members, but one body.
