1Now concerning spiritual things, my brethren, I would not have you ignorant.Select 1 Corinthians 12:1

2You know that when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were led.Select 1 Corinthians 12:2

3Wherefore, I give you to understand that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say The Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.Select 1 Corinthians 12:3

4Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit.Select 1 Corinthians 12:4

5And there are diversities of ministries. but the same Lord.Select 1 Corinthians 12:5

6And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all.Select 1 Corinthians 12:6

7And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit.Select 1 Corinthians 12:7

8To one indeed, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom: and to another, the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:Select 1 Corinthians 12:8

9To another, faith in the same spirit: to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit:Select 1 Corinthians 12:9

10To another the working of miracles: to another, prophecy: to another, the discerning of spirits: to another, diverse kinds of tongues: to another, interpretation of speeches.Select 1 Corinthians 12:10

11But all these things, one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will.Select 1 Corinthians 12:11

12For as the body is one and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body: So also is Christ.Select 1 Corinthians 12:12

13For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free: and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink.Select 1 Corinthians 12:13

14For the body also is not one member, but many.Select 1 Corinthians 12:14

15If the foot should 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 should 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 the eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?Select 1 Corinthians 12:17

18But now God hath set the members, every one of them, in the body as it hath pleased him.Select 1 Corinthians 12:18

19And if they all were one member, where would be the body?Select 1 Corinthians 12:19

20But now there are many members indeed, yet one body.Select 1 Corinthians 12:20

21And the eye cannot say to the hand: I need not thy help. Nor again the head to the feet: I have no need of you.Select 1 Corinthians 12:21

22Yea, much, more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body are more necessarySelect 1 Corinthians 12:22

23And such as we think to be the less honourable members of the body, about these we put more abundant honour: and those that are our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.Select 1 Corinthians 12:23

24But our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour.Select 1 Corinthians 12:24

25That there might be no schism in the body: but the members might be mutually careful one for another.Select 1 Corinthians 12:25

26And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it: or if one member glory, all the members rejoice with it.Select 1 Corinthians 12:26

27Now you are the body of Christ and members of member.Select 1 Corinthians 12:27

28And God indeed hath set some in the church; first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors: after that miracles: then the graces of healings, helps, governments, kinds of tongues, interpretations of speeches.Select 1 Corinthians 12:28

29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all doctors?Select 1 Corinthians 12:29

30Are all workers of miracles? Have all the grace of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?Select 1 Corinthians 12:30

31But be zealous for the better gifts. And I shew unto you yet a more excellent way.Select 1 Corinthians 12:31
