1Cor 12:4-31 | 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.

One Body with Many Members

12 For just as ^rthe body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, ^sso it is with Christ. 13 For ^tin one Spirit we were all baptized into one body— ^uJews or Greeks, slaves ^{▼▼Or servants; Greek bondservants} or free—and ^wall were made to drink of one Spirit.

14 For the body does not consist of one member but of many. 15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? 18 But as it is, ^xGod arranged the members in the body, each one of them, ^yas he chose. 19 If all were a single member, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, ^{▼▼Or members; also verse 22} yet one body.

21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, ^aaall rejoice together.

27 Now ^abyou are the body of Christ and individually ^acmembers of it. 28 And ^adGod has appointed in the church first ^aeapostles, second ^afprophets, third teachers, then ^agmiracles, then ^ahgifts of healing, ^aihelping, ^ajadministrating, and ^akvarious kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But ^alearnestly desire the higher gifts.

And I will show you a still more excellent way.
