  1st Corinthians   chapter 12

        1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I
       would not have you ignorant.
        2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away
       unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
        3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no
       man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus
       accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is
       the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
        4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the
       same Spirit.
        5 And there are differences of administrations,
       but the same Lord.
        6 And there are diversities of operations, but
       it is the same God which worketh all in all.
        7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given
       to every man to profit withal.
        8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of
       wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the
       same Spirit;
        9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to
       another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
       10 To another the working of miracles; to
       another prophecy; to another discerning of
       spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to
       another the interpretation of tongues:
       11 But all these worketh that one and the
       selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally
       as he will.
       12 For as the body is one, and hath many
       members, and all the members of that one body,
       being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
       13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into
       one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
       whether we be bond or free; and have been all
       made to drink into 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; is it therefore not
       of the body?
       16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not
       the eye, I am not of the body; is it 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 every one of
       them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
       19 And if they were all one member, where were
       the body?
       20 But now are they many members, yet but one
       body.
       21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have
       no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet,
       I have no need of you.
       22 Nay, much more those members of the body,
       which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
       23 And those members of the body, which we think
       to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more
       abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have
       more abundant comeliness.
       24 For our comely parts have no need: but God
       hath tempered the body together, having given
       more abundant honour 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 suffer, all the
       members suffer with it; or one member be
       honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
       27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in
       particular.
       28 And God hath set some in the church, first
       apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly
       teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of
       healings, helps, governments, diversities of
       tongues.
       29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all
       teachers? are all workers of miracles?
       30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak
       with tongues? do all interpret?
       31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet
       shew I unto you a more excellent way.
