1 Corinthians 12

1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I would not have you ignorant.
Compare verse
2 You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, even as you were led.
Compare verse
3 Why I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
Compare verse
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
Compare verse
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
Compare verse
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which works all in all.
Compare verse
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit with.
Compare verse
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
Compare verse
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
Compare verse
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:
Compare verse
11 But all these works that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
Compare verse
12 For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
Compare verse
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?
Compare verse
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?
Compare verse
17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
Compare verse
18 But now has God set the members every one of them in the body, as it has pleased him.
Compare verse
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
Compare verse
20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
22 No, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
Compare verse
23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
Compare verse
24 For our comely parts have no need: but God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked.
Compare verse
25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
Compare verse
26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it.
Compare verse
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
Compare verse
28 And God has set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
Compare verse
29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
Compare verse
30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
Compare verse
31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I to you a more excellent way.
