1 Corinthians 12:1-13 ▼

1 NOW concerning spiritual gifts, my brethren, I want to remind you,

2 That once you were pagans, and without exception you were carried away by dumb idols.

3 Wherefore I want you to understand that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, calls Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the LORD but by the Holy Spirit.

4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but there is only one Spirit.

5 And there are diversities of ministries, but there is only one LORD.

6 And there are diversities of powers, but it is the one God who works all things in all men.

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man as help to him.

8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit.

9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another the means to distinguish the true Spirit; to another divers languages; to another the interpretation of languages.

11 But all of these gifts are wrought by that one and the same Spirit, dividing to every one severally as he will.

12 For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, even though many, are one body, so also is Christ.

13 For all of us are baptized by one Spirit into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and we have all received through the one Spirit.
