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