Now about spiritual gifts,1 brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.22
You know that when you were pagans,3 somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.43
Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed,"5 and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord,"6 except by the Holy Spirit.74
There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.85
There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.
6
There are different kinds of working, but the same God9 works all of them in all men.107
Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.118
To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom,12 to another the message of knowledge13 by means of the same Spirit,
9
to another faith14 by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing15 by that one Spirit,
10
to another miraculous powers,16 to another prophecy,17 to another distinguishing between spirits,18 to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,a19 and to still another the interpretation of tongues.b11
All these are the work of one and the same Spirit,20 and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.
