[SUP]12:1[/SUP] Now brethren, I do not wish you[SUP]*[/SUP] to be ignorant concerning spiritual gifts. [SUP]12:2[/SUP] You[SUP]*[/SUP] know that when you[SUP]*[/SUP] were Gentiles, you[SUP]*[/SUP]were being led away to those voiceless idols, as you[SUP]*[/SUP] would be led now. [SUP]12:3[/SUP] Hence I make known to you[SUP]*[/SUP], that no one speaking in the Spirit of God says, Jesus is accursed, and no one is able to say, Jesus is Lord, except in the Holy Spirit.
[SUP]12:4[/SUP] Now there are diversities of gifts[SUP]*[/SUP], but the same Spirit. [SUP]12:5[/SUP] And there are diversities of services and the same Lord. [SUP]12:6[/SUP] And there are diversities of workings, but it is the same God, who is working all things in all. [SUP]12:7[/SUP] But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for what is advantageous: [SUP]12:8[/SUP] for[SUP]*[/SUP] the word of wisdom is given to one through the Spirit, and the word of knowledge to another according to the same Spirit; [SUP]12:9[/SUP] and miraculous faith to differentone in the same Spirit; and gifts[SUP]*[/SUP] of healing to another in the same Spirit; [SUP]12:10[/SUP] and workings of miracles to another; and prophecy to another; and the discerning of spirits to another; varieties of languages to a different one; and the translation of foreign languages to another; [SUP]12:11[/SUP] but the one and the same Spirit is working all these things, sectioning off to each one in his own way just-as he wills.
[SUP]12:12[/SUP] For[SUP]*[/SUP] just-as the body is one and has many members and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body; so also is the Christ. [SUP]12:13[/SUP] For[SUP]*[/SUP] also, we were all immersed[SUP]*[/SUP] into one body, in one Spirit, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondservants or free men, and all were made to drink into one Spirit. [SUP]12:14[/SUP] For[SUP]*[/SUP] the body is not one member, but many. [SUP]12:15[/SUP] If the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not from the body; contrary to this, is it not from the body? [SUP]12:16[/SUP] And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not from the body; contrary to this, is it not from the body? [SUP]12:17[/SUP] If the whole body were an eye, where is the hearing? If the wholebodywere hearing, where is the sense of smell? [SUP]12:18[/SUP] But now God has placed the members in the body, each one of them, just-as he willed. [SUP]12:19[/SUP] Now if they were all one member, where is the body? [SUP]12:20[/SUP] But now they are indeed many members, but one body. [SUP]12:21[/SUP] Now the eye is not able to say to the hand, I have no need of you; or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you[SUP]*[/SUP]. [SUP]12:22[/SUP]But much rather now, those members of the body that seem to be[SUP]*[/SUP] weaker are necessary; [SUP]12:23[/SUP] and those things of the body which we think to be more dishonored, we place even-more honor upon these, and our indecent parts have even-more decency; [SUP]12:24[/SUP] but our decent parts have no need. But God mixed the body together, having given even-more honor to the ones which are lacking;[SUP]12:25[/SUP] in order that no splits should be in the body, but in order that the members should have the same anxiety on behalf of one another. [SUP]12:26[/SUP] And if one member is suffering, all the members are suffering together with it. If one member is glorified, all the members are rejoicing together withit. [SUP]12:27[/SUP] Now you[SUP]*[/SUP] are the body of Christ and members individually. [SUP]12:28[/SUP] And indeed God placed some in the congregation[SUP]*[/SUP]of believers, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, thereafter miracles, thereafter gifts[SUP]*[/SUP] of healing, helps, those who pilot others, those with varieties of languages. [SUP]12:29[/SUP] All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they? [SUP]12:30[/SUP] All do not have gifts[SUP]*[/SUP] of healing, do they? All do not speak with foreign languages, do they? All do not translate, do they? [SUP]12:31[/SUP] But be zealous for the better gifts[SUP]*[/SUP]. And I will show to you[SUP]*[/SUP] still a surpassingly-better way.
