12: 2 Ye know that when ye were Gentiles ye were led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led.
12: 3 Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is 122a curse; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit.
122Gk. anathema;
12: 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
12: 5 And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord.
12: 6 And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all.
12: 7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.
12: 8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same spirit:
12: 9 to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, 123in the one Spirit;
123So BA (1739) 33 81 vg. ℵ and a majority of lesser Gk. mss., cop arm read in the same Spirit; p46 alone reads in the Spirit; C* omits.
12: 10 and to another workings of 124miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another diverse kinds of 125tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:
124Gk. powers;
125Or, foreign languages; (and so elsewhere)
12: 11 but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as it will.
12: 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is 126Christ.
126Lit. the Christ.
12: 13 For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, and were all made to drink of one Spirit.
12: 14 For the body is not one member, but many.
12: 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.
12: 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body; it is not 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 each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.
12: 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
12: 20 But now they are many members, but one body.
12: 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
12: 22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:
12: 23 and those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, upon these we 127bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comliness;
127Or, put on
12: 24 whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor 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 suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or a member is 128honored, all the members rejoice with it.
128Or, glorified,
12: 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and 129severally members thereof.
129Or, members individually or, members each in his part
12: 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, after that 130miracles, after that gifts of healings, helps, 131leaderships, divers kinds of tongues.
130Gk. powers, and in vs. 29.
131Or, governments,
12: 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
12: 30 have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
12: 31 But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you.
