Diversity of Spiritual Gifts

12 Now concerning what comes from the Spirit: r * brothers, I do not want you to be unaware. 2 You know that when you were pagans, you used to be led off to the idols s that could not speak. t 3 Therefore I am informing you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

4 Now there are different gifts, u but the same Spirit. 5 There are different ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are different activities, but the same God activates each gift in each person. v 7 A demonstration of the Spirit is given to each person w to produce what is beneficial:

8 to one x is given a message of wisdom y

through the Spirit,

to another, a message of knowledge

by the same Spirit,

9 to another, faith by the same Spirit,

to another, gifts of healing z by the one Spirit,

10 to another, the performing of miracles, a

to another, prophecy, b

to another, distinguishing between spirits, c

to another, different kinds of * languages,

to another, interpretation of languages.

11 But one and the same Spirit is active in all these, distributing to each person as He wills.
