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