‏ 1 Corinthians 12:1-14

Spiritual Gifts

1 With regard to spiritual gifts,
tn Grk “spiritual things.”
brothers and sisters,
tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
I do not want you to be uninformed.
tn Grk “ignorant.”
2You know that when you were pagans you were often led astray by speechless idols, however you were led. 3So I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

4 Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit. 5And there are different ministries, but the same Lord. 6And there are different results, but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. 7To each person the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the benefit of all. 8For one person is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, and another the message of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10to another performance of miracles, to another prophecy, and to another discernment of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11It is one and the same Spirit, distributing as he decides to each person, who produces all these things.

Different Members in One Body

12 For just as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body—though manyare one body, so too is Christ. 13For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Whether Jews or Greeks or slaves
tn See the note on the word “slave” in 7:21.
or free, we were all made to drink of the one Spirit.
14For in fact the body is not a single member, but many.
