| 12:1 | Now concerning spiritual , brethren, I would not have you ignorant. | |
| 12:2 | Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, even as ye were led. | |
| 12:3 | Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God, calleth Jesus accursed: and no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Spirit. | |
| 12:4 | Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. | |
| 12:5 | And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. | |
| 12:6 | And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God who worketh all in all. | |
| 12:7 | But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man for profit. | |
| 12:8 | For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another, the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; | |
| 12:9 | To another, faith by the same Spirit; to another, the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; | |
| 12:10 | To another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, discerning of spirits; to another, kinds of languages; to another, the interpretation of languages: | |
| 12:11 | But all these worketh that one and the same Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. | |
| 12:12 | For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also Christ. | |
| 12:13 | For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. | |
| 12:14 | For the body is not one member, but many. | |
| 12:15 | If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? | |
| 12:16 | And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? | |
| 12:17 | If the whole body an eye, where the hearing? If the whole hearing, where the smelling? | |
| 12:18 | But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. | |
| 12:19 | And if they were all one member, where the body? | |
| 12:20 | But now many members, yet but one body. | |
| 12:21 | And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. | |
| 12:22 | Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: | |
| 12:23 | And those of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely have more abundant comeliness. | |
| 12:24 | For our comely have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that which lacked: | |
| 12:25 | That there should be no schism in the body; but the members should have the same care one for another. | |
| 12:26 | And thus if one member suffers all the members suffer with it; or, if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. | |
| 12:27 | Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. | |
| 12:28 | And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of languages. | |
| 12:29 | all apostles? all prophets? all teachers? all workers of miracles? | |
| 12:30 | Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak in languages? do all interpret? | |
| 12:31 | But covet earnestly the best gifts. And yet I show to you a more excellent way. | |
