| 12:1 | Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. |
| 12:2 | Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. |
| 12:3 | 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. |
| 12:4 | Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. |
| 12:5 | And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. |
| 12:6 | And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. |
| 12:7 | But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. |
| 12:8 | For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; |
| 12:9 | To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; |
| 12:10 | 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: |
| 12:11 | But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. |
| 12:12 | 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. |
| 12:13 | 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. |
| 12:14 | For the body is not one member, but many. |
| 12:15 | If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? |
| 12:16 | 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? |
| 12:17 | If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? |
| 12:18 | But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. |
| 12:19 | And if they were all one member, where were the body? |
| 12:20 | But now are they many members, yet but one body. |
| 12:21 | 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. |
| 12:22 | Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: |
| 12:23 | 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. |
| 12:24 | For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: |
| 12:25 | That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. |
| 12:26 | And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. |
| 12:27 | Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. |
| 12:28 | 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. |
| 12:29 | Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? |
| 12:30 | Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? |
| 12:31 | But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. |
