121 Corinthians 12

1Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.Select 1 Corinthians 12:1

2You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.Select 1 Corinthians 12:2

3Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says, “Jesus is accursed.” No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” but by the Holy Spirit.Select 1 Corinthians 12:3

4Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.Select 1 Corinthians 12:4

5There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.Select 1 Corinthians 12:5

6There are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all.Select 1 Corinthians 12:6

7But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.Select 1 Corinthians 12:7

8For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;Select 1 Corinthians 12:8

9to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the same Spirit;Select 1 Corinthians 12:9

10and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; to another different kinds of languages; and to another the interpretation of languages.Select 1 Corinthians 12:10

11But the one and the same Spirit works all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.Select 1 Corinthians 12:11

12For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.Select 1 Corinthians 12:12

13For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given 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 would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body.Select 1 Corinthians 12:15

16If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body.Select 1 Corinthians 12:16

17If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?Select 1 Corinthians 12:17

18But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.Select 1 Corinthians 12:18

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

20But now they are many members, but one body.Select 1 Corinthians 12:20

21The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.”Select 1 Corinthians 12:21

22No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.Select 1 Corinthians 12:22

23Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety;Select 1 Corinthians 12:23

24whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,Select 1 Corinthians 12:24

25that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.Select 1 Corinthians 12:25

26When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. Or when one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.Select 1 Corinthians 12:26

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

28God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.Select 1 Corinthians 12:28

29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?Select 1 Corinthians 12:29

30Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?Select 1 Corinthians 12:30

31But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.Select 1 Corinthians 12:31
