1 Corinthians 12:1-3

BBE

NIV

1 But about the things of the spirit, my brothers, it is not right for you to be without teaching.
1 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.
2 You are conscious that when you were Gentiles, in whatever way you were guided, you went after images without voice or power.
2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.
3 So it is my desire for you to be clear about this; that no one is able to say by the Spirit of God that Jesus is cursed; and no one is able to say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.
3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
