| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body--whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free--and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Now if the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19If they were all one part, where would the body be? |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20As it is, there are many parts, but one body. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way. |
