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
