1 Corinthians 11:21–12:13

21  For each one in eating takes his own supper before others, and one is hungry and another drinks to excess. 22  Have ye not then houses for eating and drinking? or do ye despise the assembly of God, and put to shame them who have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this point I do not praise.

23  For I received from the Lord, that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread, 24  and having given thanks broke it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25  In like manner also the cup, after having supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me. 26  For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye announce the death of the Lord, until he come. 27  So that whosoever shall eat the bread, or drink the cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty in respect of the body and of the blood of the Lord. 28  But let a man prove himself, and thus eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. 29  For the eater and drinker eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body. 30  On this account many among you are weak and infirm, and a good many are fallen asleep. 31  But if we judged ourselves, so were we not judged. 32  But being judged, we are disciplined of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. 33  So that, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another. 34  If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order.

Chapter 12

1  But concerning spiritual manifestations, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant. 2  Ye know that when ye were of the nations ye were led away to dumb idols, in whatever way ye might be led. 3  I give you therefore to know, that no one, speaking in the power of the Spirit of God, says, Curse on Jesus; and no one can say, Lord Jesus, unless in the power of the Holy Spirit. 4  But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5  and there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord; 6  and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all. 7  But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit. 8  For to one, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; 9  and to a different one faith, in the power of the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healing in the power of the same Spirit; 10  and to another operations of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; and to a different one kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues. 11  But all these things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases.

12  For even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ. 13  For also in the power of one Spirit we have all been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or free, and have all been given to drink of one Spirit.
