1 Corinthians - ch 12 v 1 - 20
- And concerning the spiritual things, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant;
- ye have known that ye were nations, unto the dumb idols -- as ye were led -- being carried away;
- wherefore, I give you to understand that no one, in the Spirit of God speaking, saith Jesus `is' anathema, and no one is able to say Jesus `is' Lord, except in the Holy Spirit.
- And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit;
- and there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord;
- and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God -- who is working the all in all.
- And to each hath been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit;
- for to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
- and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit;
- and to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another `divers' kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues:
- and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth.
- For, even as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also `is' the Christ,
- for also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all into one Spirit were made to drink,
- for also the body is not one member, but many;
- if the foot may say, `Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body;
- and if the ear may say, `Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body?
- If the whole body `were' an eye, where the hearing? if the whole hearing, where the smelling?
- and now, God did set the members each one of them in the body, according as He willed,
- and if all were one member, where the body?
- and now, indeed, `are' many members, and one body;
