1 Corinthians 12:1-13 ▼

1 Concernyng spirituall gyftes, brethren, I woulde not haue you ignoraunt.

2 Ye knowe yt ye were gentiles, and caryed away vnto dumbe idols, as ye were led.

3 Wherfore I declare vnto you, that no man speakyng by the spirite of God, defieth Iesus. Also no man can say that Iesus is ye Lord, but by the holy ghost.

4 There are diuersities of gyftes, but the spirite is one.

5 And there are differences of administrations, but the Lorde is one.

6 And there are diuers maners of operations, but God is one, which worketh all in all.

7 The manifestation of the spirite, is geuen to euery man, to profite withall.

8 For to one is geuen by the spirite, the worde of wisdome, to another the word of knowledge, by the same spirite:

9 To another is geuen fayth, by the same spirite: to another the giftes of healyng by the same spirite:

10 To another, power to do miracles, to another, prophesie, to another iudgement to discerne spirites, to another, diuers kyndes of tongues, to another, the interpretation of tongues.

11 But these all worketh euen one and the selfe same spirite, deuidyng to euery man a seuerall gyft, as he wyll.

12 For as the body is one, & hath many members, and all the members of one body, though they be many, yet are but one body: euen so is Christe.

13 For by one spirite, are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Iewes or gentiles, whether we be bonde or free: and haue all drunke of one spirite.
