1Cor 12:4-11, 14:1-18, 37, Eph 4:11 | ESV | STEP | Now there are varieties of gifts , but the same Spirit ;

4 Now ^athere are varieties of gifts, but ^bthe same Spirit; 5 and ^cthere are varieties of service, but ^dthe same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is ^ethe same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 ^fTo each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of ^gwisdom, and to another the utterance of ^hknowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another ⁱfaith by the same Spirit, to another ^jgifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another ^kthe working of miracles, to another ^lprophecy, to another ^mthe ability to distinguish between spirits, to another ⁿvarious kinds of tongues, to another ^othe interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, ^pwho apportions to each one individually ^qas he wills.

1 Corinthians 14:1-18

Prophecy and Tongues

1 ^rPursue love, and ^searnestly desire the ^tspiritual gifts, especially that you may ^uprophesy. 2 For ^vone who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 3 On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. 4 The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. 5 Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but ^weven more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up.

6 Now, brothers, ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters; also verses 20, 26, 39} if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I bring you some ^yrevelation or knowledge or prophecy or ^zteaching? 7 If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played? 8 And ^aaif the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle? 9 So with yourselves, if with your tongue you utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is said? For you will be ^abspeaking into the air. 10 There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning, 11 but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be ^aca foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me. 12 So with yourselves, since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church.

13 Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. 15 What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; ^adI will sing praise with my spirit, but I will ^aesing with my mind also. 16 Otherwise, if you give thanks with your spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider ^{▼▼Or of him that is without gifts} say ^ag“Amen” to ^ahyour thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying? 17 For you may be giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not being built up. 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.

1 Corinthians 14:37

37 ^aiIf anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord.

Ephesians 4:11

11 And ^ajhe gave the ^akapostles, the prophets, the ^alevangelists, the ^amshepherds ^{▼▼Or pastors} and teachers, ^{▼▼Or the shepherd-teachers}
