| I Corinthians 12: (ASV) |
| 1) Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. |
| 2) Ye know that when ye were Gentiles ye were led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led. |
| 3) Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit. |
| 4) Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. |
| 5) And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord. |
| 6) And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all. |
| 7) But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal. |
| 8) For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit: |
| 9) to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit; |
| 10) and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another divers kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues: |
| 11) but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will. |
| 12) For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. |
| 13) For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit. |
| 14) For the body is not one member, but many. |
| 15) If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. |
| 16) And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. |
| 17) If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? |
| 18) But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him. |
| 19) And if they were all one member, where were the body? |
| 20) But now they are many members, but one body. |
| 21) And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. |
| 22) Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary: |
| 23) and those parts of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness; |
| 24) whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked; |
| 25) that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. |
| 26) And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. |
| 27) Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof. |
| 28) And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues. |
| 29) Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? |
| 30) have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? |
| 31) But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you. |
