1 Corinthians 12

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 But, brothers, I do not want you to go on being ignorant about the things of the Spirit.

2 You know that when you were pagans, no matter how you felt you were being led, you were being led astray to idols, which can't speak at all.

3 Therefore, I want to make it clear to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says, "Yeshua is cursed!" and no one can say, "Yeshua is Lord," except by the Ruach HaKodesh.

4 Now there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit gives them.

5 Also there are different ways of serving, but it is the same Lord being served.

6 And there are different modes of working, but it is the same God working them all in everyone.

7 Moreover, to each person is given the particular manifestation of the Spirit that will be for the common good.

8 To one, through the Spirit, is given a word of wisdom; to another, a word of knowledge, in accordance with the same Spirit;

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

10 to another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, the ability to judge between spirits; to another, the ability to speak in different kinds of tongues; and to yet another, the ability to interpret tongues.

11 One and the same Spirit is at work in all these things, distributing to each person as he chooses.

12 For just as the body is one but has many parts; and all the parts of the body, though many, constitute one body; so it is with the Messiah.

13 For it was by one Spirit that we were all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free; and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

14 For indeed the body is not one part but many.

15 If the foot says, "I'm not a hand, so I'm not part of the body," that doesn't make it stop being part of the body.

16 And if the ear says, "I'm not an eye, so I'm not part of the body," that doesn't make it stop being part of the body.

17 If the whole body were an eye, how could it hear? If it were all hearing, how could it smell?

18 But as it is, God arranged each of the parts in the body exactly as he wanted them.

19 Now if they were all just one part, where would the body be?

20 But as it is, there are indeed many parts, yet just one body.

21 So the eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you"; or the head to the feet, "I don't need you."

22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be less important turn out to be all the more necessary;

23 and upon body parts which we consider less dignified we bestow greater dignity; and the parts that aren't attractive are the ones we make as attractive as we can,

24 while our attractive parts have no need for such treatment. Indeed, God has put the body together in such a way that he gives greater dignity to the parts that lack it,

25 So that there will be no disagreements within the body, but rather all the parts will be equally concerned for all the others.

26 Thus if one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; and if one part is honored, all the parts share its happiness.

27 Now you together constitute the body of the Messiah, and individually you are parts of it.

28 And God has placed in the Messianic Community first, emissaries; second, prophets; third, teachers; then those who work miracles; then those with gifts of healing; those with ability to help; those skilled in administration; and those who speak in various tongues.

29 Not all are emissaries, are they? Not all are prophets, are they? or teachers? or miracle-workers?

30 Not all have gifts of healing, not all speak in tongues, not all interpret, do they?

31 Eagerly seek the better gifts. But now I will show you the best way of all.

King James Version KJV

1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

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:

11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

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.

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

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?

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?

17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?

20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.

21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
