Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
1 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.
1 Now concerning spiritual things, my 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 You know that when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were 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 give you to understand that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say The Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.
4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.
4 Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit.
5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.
5 And there are diversities of ministries. 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.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all.
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
7 And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit.
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 To one indeed, by the Spirit, is given 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: to another, the grace of healing in 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 To another the working of miracles: to another, prophecy: to another, the discerning of spirits: to another, diverse kinds of tongues: to another, interpretation of speeches.
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 things, one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according 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, whereas they are many, yet 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 Gentiles, whether bond or free: and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink.
14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
14 For the body also 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 should 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 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 should 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 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 the eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be 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 God hath set the members, every one of them, in the body as it hath pleased him.
19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?
19 And if they all were one member, where would be the body?
20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
20 But now there are many members indeed, yet 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 need not thy help. Nor 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 Yea, much, more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body are more 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 such as we think to be the less honourable members of the body, about these we put more abundant honour: and those that are 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 But our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour.
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 might be no schism in the body: but the members might be mutually careful 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 if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it: or if one member glory, 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 you are the body of Christ and members of member.
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 indeed hath set some in the church; first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors: after that miracles: then the graces of healings, helps, governments, kinds of tongues, interpretations of speeches.
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all doctors?
30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues ? Do all interpret?
30 Are all workers of miracles? Have all the grace of healing? 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 be zealous for the better gifts. And I shew unto you yet a more excellent way.
