12Now concerning spiritual gifts,^a brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant. ²You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the speechless idols, however you were led. ³Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed,” and no one is able to say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit.

⁴Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit, ⁵and there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord, ⁶and there are varieties of activities, but the same God, who works all things in all people. ⁷But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for what is beneficial to all. ⁸For to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge by the same Spirit, ⁹to another faith by the same Spirit, to another^b gifts of healing by the one Spirit, ¹⁰to another^c miraculous powers^d, to another^e prophecy, to another^f distinguishing of spirits, to another kinds of tongues, to another^g interpretation of tongues. ¹¹But in all these things one and the same Spirit is at work, distributing to each one individually just as he wishes.

Unity in the Midst of Diversity

¹²For just as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, although they^* are many, are one body, thus also Christ. ¹³For by^h one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free persons, and all were made to drink one Spirit.
