1 Corinthians 12:1–11

Concerning Spiritual Gifts

12Now about the gifts of the Spirit,^z brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.^{a 2}You know that when you were pagans,^b somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.^{c 3}Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,”^d and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,”^e except by the Holy Spirit.^f

⁴There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit^g distributes them. ⁵There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. ⁶There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone^h it is the same Godⁱ at work.

⁷Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.^{j 8}To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom,^k to another a message of knowledge^l by means of the same Spirit, ⁹to another faith^m by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healingⁿ by that one Spirit, ¹⁰to another miraculous powers,^o to another prophecy,^p to another distinguishing between spirits,^q to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,^ar and to still another the interpretation of tongues.^{b 11}All these are the work of one and the same Spirit,^s and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
