CHAP. XII. / 1 Spirituall gifts 4 are diuers, 7 yet all to profit withall. 8 And to that ende, are diuersly bestowed: 12 That by the like proportion, as the members of a naturall body, tend all to the

1Now concerning spiritual giftes brethren, I would not haue you ignorant.Select 1 Corinthians 12:1

2Yee know that yee were Gentiles, caryed away vnto these dumbe idoles, euen as ye were led.Select 1 Corinthians 12:2

3Wherefore I giue you to vnderstand, that no man speaking by the spirit of God, calleth Iesus accursed: and that no man can say that Iesus is the Lord, but by the holy Ghost.Select 1 Corinthians 12:3

4Nowe there are diuersities 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 diuersities of operations, but it is the same God, which worketh all in all.Select 1 Corinthians 12:6

7But the manifestation of the spirit, is giuen to euery man to profit with all.Select 1 Corinthians 12:7

8For to one is giuen by the spirit, the word of wisedome, 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 prophecie, to another discerning of spirits, to another diuerse kindes of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.Select 1 Corinthians 12:10

11But all these worketh that one and the selfe same spirit, diuiding to euery man seuerally as he will.Select 1 Corinthians 12:11

12For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the membrs of that one body, being many, are one bodie: so also is Christ.Select 1 Corinthians 12:12

13For by one spirit are we all baptized one bodie, whether wee bee Iewes or Gentiles, whether wee bee bond or free: and haue beene all made to drinke 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 eare 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

18Buf now hath God set the members, euery one of them in the body, as it hath 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 vnto the hand, I haue no need of thee: nor againe, the head to the feete, I haue no neede of you.Select 1 Corinthians 12:21

22Nay, much more those members of the bodie, which seeme to bee more feeble, are necessary.Select 1 Corinthians 12:22

23And those members of the bodie, which wee thinke to bee lesse honourable, vpon these we bestow more abundant honour, and our vncomely parts haue more abundant comelinesse.Select 1 Corinthians 12:23

24For our comely parts haue no need: but God hath tempered the bodie together, hauing giuen more abundant honour to that part which lacked:Select 1 Corinthians 12:24

25That there should be no schisme in the body: but that the members should haue 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 honoured, all the members reioyce with it.Select 1 Corinthians 12:26

27Now yee are the body of Christ, and members in particular.Select 1 Corinthians 12:27

28And God hath set some in the Church, first Apostles, secondarily Prophets, thirdly Teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helpes in gouernmets, diuersities 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

30Haue all the gifts of healing? doe all speake with tongues? doe all interpret?Select 1 Corinthians 12:30

31But couet earnestly the best gifts: And yet shew I vnto you a more excellent way.Select 1 Corinthians 12:31
