Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.
1
And concerning the spiritual things, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant;
2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.
2
ye have known that ye were nations, unto the dumb idols -- as ye were led -- being carried away;
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 one, in the Spirit of God speaking, saith Jesus [is] anathema, and no one is able to say Jesus [is] Lord, except in the Holy Spirit.
4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.
4
And there are diversities of gifts, and 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, and it is the same God -- who is working the all in all.
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
7
And to each hath been given the manifestation of the Spirit for 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
for to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of wisdom, and to another a 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
and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same 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 in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another [divers] kinds of tongues; and to another 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
and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth.
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, even as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also [is] the 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 also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all into one Spirit were made to drink,
14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
14
for also 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 may say, `Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, 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 may say, `Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, 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 the hearing? if the whole hearing, where 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
and now, God did set the members each one of them in the body, according as He willed,
19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?
19
and if all were one member, where the body?
20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
20
and now, indeed, [are] many members, and 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 an eye is not able to say to the hand, `I have no need of thee;' 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
But much more the members of the body which seem to be more infirm 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 that we think to be less honourable of the body, around these we put more abundant honour, and our unseemly things have seemliness more abundant,
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
and our seemly things have no need; but God did temper the body together, to the lacking part having given 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 may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one 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 doth suffer, suffer with [it] do all the members, or one member is glorified, rejoice with [it] do all the members;
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
27
and ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
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 some, indeed, did God set in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterwards powers, afterwards gifts of healings, helpings, governings, 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 powers?
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
and desire earnestly the better gifts; and yet a far excelling way do I shew to you:
