The Use of Spiritual Gifts

1 Now° concerning° aspiritual° [gifts], brethren°, bI do not want° you to be unaware°. 2 aYou know° that when° you were pagans°, [you were] bled° astray° to the cmute° idols°, however°° you were led°. 3 Therefore° I make° known° to you that no° one° speaking° Iaby the Spirit° of God° says°, “Jesus° is IIbaccursed°”; and no° one° can° say°, “Jesus° is cLord°,” except° Iaby the Holy° Spirit°.

4 ¶ Now° there are avarieties° of gifts°, but the same° Spirit°. 5 And there are varieties° of ministries°, and the same° Lord°. 6 There are varieties° of effects°, but the same° aGod° who works° all° things° in all° [persons]. 7 But to each° one° is given° the manifestation° of the Spirit° afor the common° good°. 8 For to one°° is given° the word° of awisdom° through° the Spirit°, and to another° the word° of bknowledge° according° to the same° Spirit°; 9 to another° afaith° Iby the same° Spirit°, and to another° bgifts° of IIhealing° Iby the one° Spirit°, 10 and to another° the Ieffecting° of IIamiracles°, and to another° bprophecy°, and to another° the IIIcdistinguishing° of spirits°, to another° [various] dkinds° of tongues°, and to another° the einterpretation° of tongues°. 11 But one° and the same° Spirit° works° all° these° things°, adistributing° to each° one° individually° just° as He wills°.

12 ¶ For even° aas the body° is one° and [yet] has° many° members°, and all° the members° of the body°, though they are many°, are one° body°, bso° also° is Christ°. 13 For Iaby one° Spirit° we were all° baptized° into one° body°, whether° bJews° or° Greeks°, whether° slaves° or° free°, and we were all° made° to cdrink° of one° Spirit°.

If° the whole° were hearing°, where° would the sense° of smell° be? 18 But now° God° has aplaced° the members°, each° one° of them, in the body°, bjust° as He desired°. 19 If° they were all° one° member°, where° would the body° be? 20 But now° athere are many° members°, but one° body°. 21 And the eye° cannot°° say° to the hand°, “I have° no° need° of you”; or° again° the head° to the feet°, “I have° no° need° of you.” 22 On the contrary°, Iit is much° truer° that the members° of the body° which seem° to be weaker° are necessary°; 23 and those [members] of the body° which° we Ideem° less° honorable°, IIon these° we bestow° more° abundant° honor°, and our less° presentable° members become° much° more° presentable°, 24 whereas° our more° presentable° members have° no° need° [of it]. But God° has [so] composed° the body°, giving° more° abundant° honor° to that [member] which lacked°, 25 so° that there may be no° Idivision° in the body°, but [that] the members° may have° the same° care° for one° another°. 26 And if° one° member° suffers°, all° the members° suffer° with it; if° [one] member° is Ihonored°, all° the members° rejoice° with it.
