Spiritual Gifts
1 AND concerning spiritual things, I will not have you ignorant, brethren.📜💬📚
2 You know that when you were heathen, you went to dumb idols according as you were led.📜💬📚
3 Therefore I do you to understand that no man speaking in the Spirit of God, saith anathema to JESUS. And no man can say, Our Lord JESUS, but in the Holy Ghost.📜💬📚
4 And there are divisions of graces, but one Spirit.📜💬📚
5 And there are divisions of ministrations; but one Lord.📜💬📚
6 And there are divisions of operations, but one God, which worketh all in all.📜💬📚
7 And the manifestation of the Spirit is given unto every one to profit.📜💬📚
8 To one certes by the Spirit is given the word of wisdom: and to another, the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit:📜💬📚
9 to another, faith in the same Spirit: to another, the grace of doing cures in one Spirit:📜💬📚
10 to another, the working of miracles: to another, prophecy: to another, discerning of spirits: to another, kinds of tongues: to another, interpretation of languages.📜💬📚
11 And all these things worketh one and the same Spirit, dividing to every one according as he will.📜💬📚
Body of Christ
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body whereas they be many, yet are one body; so also Christ.📜💬📚
13 For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one, whether Jews, or Gentiles, or bondmen, or free: & in one Spirit we were all made to drink.📜💬📚
14 For the body also is not one member, but many.📜💬📚
15 If the foot should say, because I am not the 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 the eye, I am not of the body: is he therefore not of the body?📜💬📚
17 If the whole body were the eye: where is the hearing? If the whole were the hearing: where is the smelling?📜💬📚
18 But now God hath set the members, every one of them in the body as he would.📜💬📚
19 And if all were one member, where were the body?📜💬📚
20 But now there are many members indeed, yet one body.📜💬📚
21 And the eye can not say to the hand: I need not thy help; or again the head to the feet: You are not necessary for me.📜💬📚
22 But much more those that seem to be the more weak members of the body, are more necessary:📜💬📚
23 and such as we think to be the baser members of the body, upon them we put more aboundant honour: and those that are our unhonest parts, have more aboundant honesty.📜💬📚
24 And our honest parts need nothing: but God hath tempered the body, giving to it that wanted, the more aboundant honour,📜💬📚
25 that there might be no schism in the body, but the members together might be careful one for another.📜💬📚
26 And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it. Or if one member do glory, all the members rejoice with it.📜💬📚
Greater Gifts
27 And you are the body of Christ, and members of member.📜💬📚
28 And some verily God hath set in the Church first Apostles, secondly Prophets, thirdly Doctors, next miracles, then the graces of doing cures, helps, governments, kinds of tongues.📜💬📚
29 Are all Apostles? are all Prophets? are all Doctors?📜💬📚
30 are all miracles? have all the grace of doing cures? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?📜💬📚
31 But pursue the better gifts. And yet I shew you a more excellent way.📜💬📚
