1 Corinthians 12:1–14

Spiritual Gifts

12Now ^mconcerning¹ spiritual gifts,² brothers,³ I do not want you to be uninformed. ²You know that ⁿwhen you were pagans ^oyou were led astray to ^pmute idols, however you were led. ³Therefore I want you to understand that ^qno one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is ^raccursed!” and ^sno one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.

⁴Now ^tthere are varieties of gifts, but ^uthe same Spirit; ⁵and ^vthere are varieties of service, but ^uthe same Lord; ⁶and there are varieties of activities, but it is ^uthe same God who empowers them all in everyone. ^7wTo each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. ⁸For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of ^xwisdom, and to another the utterance of ^yknowledge according to the same Spirit, ⁹to another ^zfaith by the same Spirit, to another ^agifts of healing by the one Spirit, ¹⁰to another ^bthe working of miracles, to another ^cprophecy, to another ^dthe ability to distinguish between spirits, to another ^evarious kinds of tongues, to another ^fthe interpretation of tongues. ¹¹All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, ^gwho apportions to each one individually ^has he wills.

One Body with Many Members

¹²For just as ⁱthe body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, ^jso it is with Christ. ¹³For ^kin one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—^lJews or Greeks, slaves⁴ or free—and ^mall were made to drink of one Spirit.

¹⁴For the body does not consist of one member but of many.
