1 Corinthians - ch 12 v 1 - 20
- Now concerning spiritual things, my brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
- You know that when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were led.
- Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say the Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.
- Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit;
- And there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord;
- And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all.
- And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit.
- To one indeed, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom: and to another, the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
- To another, faith in the same spirit; to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit;
- To another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, the discerning of spirits; to another, diverse kinds of tongues; to another, interpretation of speeches.
- But all these things one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will.
- For as the body is one, and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body, so also is Christ.
- For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink.
- For the body also is not one member, but many.
- If the foot should say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body ?
- And if the ear should say, because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body ?
- If the whole body were the eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?
- But now God hath set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased him.
- And if they all were one member, where would be the body?
- But now there are many members indeed, yet one body.
