1 Coríntios 12

¹ Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.

² You know that when you were pagans, how you were led, being carried away to these speechless idols.

³ Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says "Jesus be cursed,"and no one can say that Jesus [is] Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

⁴ Now there are varieties of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit.

⁵ And there are varieties of ministries, but the same Lord.

⁶ And there are varieties of activities, but the same God works all in all.

⁷ But to each [one] the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the profit [of all.]

⁸ For to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

⁹ and to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,

¹⁰ to another the working of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, and to another [different] kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues.

¹¹ But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

¹² For just as the body is one and has many parts, but all the parts of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.

¹³ For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free-and we were all given to drink into one Spirit.

¹⁴ For in fact the body is not one part but many.

¹⁵ If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,"is it therefore not of the body?

¹⁶ And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,"is it therefore not of the body?

¹⁷ If the whole body [were] an eye, where [would be] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [would be] the smelling?

¹⁸ But now God has set the parts, each one of them, in the body just as He desired.

¹⁹ And if all [parts ]were one part, where [would be] the body?

²⁰ But now indeed there[ are] many parts, but one body.

²¹ And 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 But to a greater degree the parts of the body which seem weaker are necessary.

²³ And [the parts] of the body which we consider to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater propriety.

²⁴ But our presentable [parts] have no need. But God united the body, giving greater honor to the [part] being inferior,

²⁵ lest there be divisions in the body, but the parts care the same for one another.

²⁶ And if one part suffers, all the parts suffer together; or if one part is honored, all the parts rejoice together.

²⁷ Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

²⁸ And [those] whom God has appointed in the church [are]: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, kinds of tongues.

²⁹ All [are] not apostles, [are they]? All [are] not prophets, [are they]? Are all teachers? [Are] all [workers of] miracles?

³⁰ Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

³¹ But strive for the better gifts. And yet I make known a more excellent way.
