Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB
New International Version NIV
1 Now regarding spiritual things, brothers, I would not have you ignore <em>them</em>.
1
Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.
2 Ye know that when ye were Gentiles, ye went, even as ye were led, unto the dumb idols.
2
You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.
3 Therefore I give you to understand, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus anathema and <em>that</em> no one can call Jesus Lord but by <em>the</em> 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.
4 Now there is dispersal of gifts, but the same Spirit.
4
There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.
5 And there is dispersal of ministries, but the same Lord.
5
There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.
6 And there is dispersal of operations, but it is the same God who works all in each one.
6
There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one to profit with.
7
Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit a word of wisdom; to another, a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;
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 the same Spirit;
9
to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
10 to another, <em>the</em> operation of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, discerning of spirits; to another, <em>different</em> kinds of tongues; to another, the interpretation of tongues:
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 one and the same Spirit operates all these things, dispersing to each one his own <em>gift</em> as he wills.
11
All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
12 For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also the Christ.
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 by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether <em>we are</em> Jews or Greeks, whether <em>we are</em> slaves or free, and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
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 For the body is not one member, but many.
14
Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body?
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 shall say, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, is it therefore not 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 <em>were</em> an eye, where <em>would</em> the hearing <em>be</em>? If the whole <em>were</em> hearing, where <em>would</em> the smelling <em>be</em>?
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 now God has set the members each one of them in the body, as it has pleased him.
18
But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.
19 And if they were all one member, where <em>would</em> the body <em>be</em>?
19
If they were all one part, where would the body be?
20 But now <em>they are</em> indeed many members, yet but one body.
20
As it is, there are many parts, 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.
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 For those members of the body, which seem to be weaker, are much more necessary;
22
On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
23 and those <em>members</em> of the body which we think to be more vile, these we dress with more abundant honour; and those in us who are <em>more</em> indecent have more honesty.
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 For those in us who are more honest need nothing, but God has ordered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that <em>one</em> which lacked,
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 that there should be no contradiction in the body, but <em>that</em> the members should have the same care one for another.
25
so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.
26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer together; or if one member is honoured, all the members rejoice together.
26
If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ and members in particular.
27
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
28 And God did set certain <em>ones</em> in the <em>congregation</em> {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}: first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that faculties, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
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 <em>Are</em> all apostles? <em>are</em> all prophets? <em>are</em> all teachers? <em>do</em> all <em>have</em> faculties?
29
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?
30 Do all have gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
30
Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues ? Do all interpret?
31 But earnestly pursue the best gifts, and yet I show unto you a more excellent way.
31
Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way.
