1 Corinthians 12

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.

2 You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the speechless idols, however you were led.

3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus [is] accursed," and no one is able to say "Jesus [is] Lord" except by the Holy Spirit.

4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit,

5 and there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord,

6 and there are varieties of activities, but the same God, who works all [things] in all [people].

7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for what is beneficial [to all].

8 For to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge by the same Spirit,

9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

10 to another {miraculous powers}, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing of spirits, to another kinds of tongues, to another interpretation of tongues.

11 But in all these [things] one and the same Spirit is at work, distributing to each one individually just as he wishes.

12 For just as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, [although they] are many, are one body, thus also Christ.

13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free [persons], and all were made to drink one Spirit.

14 For the body is not one member, but many.

15 If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not [a part] of the body," not because of this is it not [a part] of the body.

16 And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not [a part] of the body, not because of this is it not [a part] of the body.

17 If the whole body [were] an eye, where [would] the hearing [be]? If the whole [were] hearing, where [would] the sense of smell [be]?

18 But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body just as he wanted.

19 And if they all were one member, where [would] the body [be]?

20 But now [there are] many members, but one body.

21 Now the eye is not able to say to the hand, "I do not have need of you," or again, the head to the feet, "I do not have need of you."

22 But by much more the members of the body which are thought to be weaker are necessary,

23 and [the parts] of the body which we think to be less honorable, these we clothe with more abundant honor, and our unpresentable [parts] come to have more abundant presentability,

24 but our presentable [parts] do not have need [of this]. Yet God composed the body by giving more abundant honor to the part which lacked [it],

25 in order that there not be a division in the body, but the members would have the same concern for one another.

26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer together; if a member is honored, all the members rejoice with [it].

27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members {of it individually},

28 and whom God has appointed in the church: first, apostles, second, prophets, third, teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, administrations, kinds of tongues.

29 Not all [are] apostles, [are they]? Not all [are] prophets, [are they]? Not all [are] teachers, [are they]? Not all [are workers of] miracles, [are they]?

30 Not all have gifts of healing, [do they]? Not all speak with tongues, [do they]? Not all interpret, [do they]?

31 But strive for the greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.

New International Version NIV

1 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.

2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.

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.

4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.

5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.

6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.

7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,

9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,

10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.

11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.

13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.

15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.

16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.

17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?

18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.

19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?

20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”

22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,

23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty,

24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it,

25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.

26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

28 And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues.

29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?

30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues ? Do all interpret?

31 Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way.
