Nowconcerningspiritual gifts, brethren, I wouldnothaveyouignorant.
2
Ye knowthat ye wereGentiles, carried awayunto these dumbidols, even asye were led.
3
Wherefore I giveyou to understand, that no manspeakingby the Spirit of GodcallethJesusaccursed:[a]and that no mancansay that Jesus is the Lord,butby the HolyGhost.
4
Now there arediversities of gifts,but the sameSpirit.
5
And there aredifferences of administrations,[b]but the sameLord.
6
And there arediversities of operations,but it is the sameGodwhichworkethallinall.
7
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every manto profit withal.
8
For to oneisgivenby the Spirit the word of wisdom*; to another the word of knowledgeby the sameSpirit;
9
Toanotherfaithby the sameSpirit*; to another the gifts of healingby the sameSpirit;
10
Toanother the working of miracles*; to anotherprophecy*; to anotherdiscerning of spirits*; to another divers kinds of tongues*; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11
Butalltheseworketh that oneand the selfsameSpirit,dividing to every manseverallyas he will.
12
Foras the bodyisone,andhathmanymembers,andall the members of that onebody,beingmany,areonebody:soalso is Christ.
13
For*byoneSpiritareweallbaptizedintoonebody,whether we be JewsorGentiles,[c]whether we be bondorfree;and have beenall made to drinkintooneSpirit.
21
And the eyecannot*say unto the hand, I havenoneed of thee:noragain the head to the feet, I havenoneed of you.
22
Nay,muchmore those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble,arenecessary:
23
Andthose members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow[d] more abundanthonour;andouruncomely parts have more abundantcomeliness.
24
Forourcomely parts havenoneed:butGod hath tempered the bodytogether, having given more abundanthonour to that part which lacked:
25
That there should benoschism[e]in the body;but that the members should have the samecare one foranother.
26
Andwhetheronemembersuffer, all the members suffer with it; oronemember be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
27
Nowyeare the body of Christ,andmembersinparticular.
28
And*God hath setsomein the church,firstapostles,secondarilyprophets,thirdlyteachers, after thatmiracles,thengifts of healings,helps,governments,diversities[f] of tongues.
29
Are all*apostles? are all*prophets? are all*teachers? are allworkers of miracles?

31
But covet earnestly the bestgifts:andyet shew I unto you a moreexcellentway.
