* Now concerning spiritual gifts , brethren , I would not have (5719 ) you ignorant (5721 ). * Ye know (5758 ) that ye were (5713 ) Gentiles , carried away (5746 ) unto these dumb idols , even as ye were led (5712 ). * Wherefore I give you to understand (5719 ), that no man speaking (5723 ) by the Spirit of God calleth (5719 ) Jesus accursed : and that no man can (5736 ) say (5629 ) that Jesus is the Lord , but by the Holy Ghost . * Now there are (5748 ) diversities of gifts , but the same Spirit . * And there are (5748 ) differences of administrations , but the same Lord . * And there are (5748 ) diversities of operations , but it is (5748 ) the same God which worketh (5723 ) all in all . * But the manifestation of the Spirit is given (5743 ) to every man to profit withal (5723 ). * For to one is given (5743 ) by the Spirit the word of wisdom ; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit ; * To another faith by the same Spirit ; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit ; * 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 : * But all these worketh (5719 ) that one and the selfsame Spirit , dividing (5723 ) to every man severally as he will (5736 ). * For as the body is (5748 ) one , and hath (5719 ) many members , and all the members of that one body , being (5752 ) many , are (5748 ) one body : so also is Christ . * For by one Spirit are we all baptized (5681 ) into one body , whether we be Jews or Gentiles , whether we be bond or free ; and have been all made to drink (5681 ) into one Spirit . * For the body is (5748 ) not one member , but many . * If the foot shall say (5632 ), Because I am (5748 ) not the hand , I am (5748 ) not of the body ; is (5748 ) it therefore not of the body ? * And if the ear shall say (5632 ), Because I am (5748 ) not the eye , I am (5748 ) not of the body ; is (5748 ) it therefore not of the body ? * If the whole body were an eye , where were the hearing ? If the whole were hearing , where were the smelling ? * But now hath God set (5639 ) the members every one of them in the body , as it hath pleased him (5656 ). * And if they were (5713 ) all one member , where were the body ? * But now are they many members , yet but one body . * And the eye cannot (5736 ) say (5629 ) unto the hand , I have (5719 ) no need of thee : nor again the head to the feet , I have (5719 ) no need of you . * Nay , much more those members of the body , which seem (5723 ) to be (5721 ) more feeble , are (5748 ) necessary : * And those members of the body , which we think (5719 ) to be (5750 ) less honourable , upon these we bestow (5719 ) more abundant honour ; and our uncomely parts have (5719 ) more abundant comeliness . * For our comely parts have (5719 ) no need : but God hath tempered the body together (5656 ), having given (5631 ) more abundant honour to that part which lacked (5746 ): * That there should be (5753 ) no schism in the body ; but that the members should have the same care (5725 ) one for another . * And whether one member suffer (5719 ), all the members suffer with it (5719 ); or one member be honoured (5743 ), all the members rejoice with it (5719 ). * Now ye are (5748 ) the body of Christ , and members in particular . * And God hath set (5639 ) some in the church , first apostles , secondarily prophets , thirdly teachers , after that miracles , then gifts of healings , helps , governments , diversities of tongues . * Are all apostles ? are all prophets ? are all teachers ? are all workers of miracles ? * Have (5719 ) all the gifts of healing ? do all speak (5719 ) with tongues ? do all interpret (5719 )? * But covet earnestly (5720 ) the best gifts : and yet shew I (5719 ) unto you a more excellent way .
