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 show I unto
you a more excellent way.
