1 Corinthians 12:1-13 ▼

1 Now about spiritual gifts, brothers (and sisters), I do not want you⁺ to be uninformed.

2 You⁺ know that when you⁺ were pagans {ethnē}, you⁺ were influenced and led astray to mute idols.

3 Therefore I inform you⁺ that no one who is speaking by the Spirit {Pneumati} of God {Theou} says, “Jesus (YHWH saves) be cursed, and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord {Kyrios}, except by the Holy Spirit.

4 There are different gifts, but the same Spirit {Pneuma}.

5 There are different ministries {diakoniōn}, but the same Lord {Kyrios}.

6 There are different ways of working, but the same God {Theos} works all things in all people.

7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit {Pneumatos} is given for the common good.

8 To one there is given through the Spirit {Pneumatos} the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit {Pneuma},

9 to another faith by the same Spirit {Pneumati}, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,

10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits {pneumatōn}, to another speaking in various tongues (languages), and to still another the interpretation of tongues.

11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit {Pneuma}, who apportions them to each one as He determines.

12 The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ (the Anointed One).

13 For in one Spirit {Pneumati} we were all baptized (submerged) into one body, whether Jews (people of praise) or Greeks, slave or free, and we were all given one Spirit to drink {Pneuma}.
