1 Corinthians 12:1–11

The Use of Spiritual Gifts

¹Now concerning ^aspiritual gifts, brethren, ^bI do not want you to be unaware.

^2aYou know that when you were pagans, you were ^bled astray to the ^cmute idols, however you were led.

³Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking ^1aby the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is ^2baccursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is ^cLord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

⁴Now there are ^avarieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.

⁵And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord.

⁶There are varieties of effects, but the same ^aGod who works all things in all persons.

⁷But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit ^afor the common good.

⁸For to one is given the word of ^awisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of ^bknowledge according to the same Spirit;

⁹to another ^afaith ¹by the same Spirit, and to another ^bgifts of ²healing by the one Spirit,

¹⁰and to another the ¹effecting of ^2amiracles, and to another ^bprophecy, and to another the ^3cdistinguishing of spirits, to another various ^dkinds of tongues, and to another the ^einterpretation of tongues.

¹¹But one and the same Spirit works all these things, ^adistributing to each one individually just as He wills.
