New International Version NIV
American Standard Version ASV
1 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.
1
Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.
2
Ye know that when ye were Gentiles [ye were] led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might led.
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.
3
Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit.
4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.
4
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.
5
And there are diversities of ministrations, and 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.
6
And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all.
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
7
But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.
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,
8
For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:
9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
9
to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the 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.
10
and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; and to 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.
11
but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.
12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.
12
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is 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.
13
For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.
14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
14
For the body is not one member, but 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.
15
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not 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.
16
And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not 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?
17
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.
18
But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.
19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?
19
And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
20
But now they are many members, 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!”
21
And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
22
Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:
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,
23
and those [parts] of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness;
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,
24
whereas our comely [parts] have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that [part] which lacked;
25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.
25
that there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.
26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
26
And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or [one] member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
27
Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.
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.
28
And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, [divers] kinds of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?
29
Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all [workers of] miracles?
30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues ? Do all interpret?
30
have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way.
31
But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you.
