1 Now concerning spiritual things, my brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
1
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.
2 You know that when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were led.
2
You know that when you were pagans, you were enticed and led astray to idols that could not speak.
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.
3
Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says "Let Jesus be cursed!" and no one can say "Jesus is Lord" except by the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit.
4
Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;
5 And there are diversities of ministries. but the same Lord.
5
and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord;
6 And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all.
6
and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone.
7 And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit.
7
To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
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:
8
To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
9 To another, faith in the same spirit: to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit:
9
to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,
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.
10
to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.
11 But all these things, one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will.
11
All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses.
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.
12
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
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.
13
For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
14 For the body also is not one member, but many.
14
Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many.
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?
15
If the foot would say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a 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?
16
And if the ear would say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body.
17 If the whole body were the eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?
17
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
18 But now God hath set the members, every one of them, in the body as it hath pleased him.
18
But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose.
19 And if they all were one member, where would be the body?
19
If all were a single member, where would the body be?
20 But now there are many members indeed, yet one body.
20
As it is, there are many members, yet one body.
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.
21
The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."
22 Yea, much, more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body are more necessary
22
On the contrary, the members of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
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.
23
and those members of the body that we think less honorable we clothe with greater honor, and our less respectable members are treated with greater respect;
24 But our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour.
24
whereas our more respectable members do not need this. But God has so arranged the body, giving the greater honor to the inferior member,
25 That there might be no schism in the body: but the members might be mutually careful one for another.
25
that there may be no dissension within the body, but the members may have the same care for one another.
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.
26
If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.
27 Now you are the body of Christ and members of member.
27
Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.
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.
28
And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers; then deeds of power, then gifts of healing, forms of assistance, forms of leadership, various kinds of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all doctors?
29
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?
30 Are all workers of miracles? Have all the grace of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
30
Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?
31 But be zealous for the better gifts. And I shew unto you yet a more excellent way.
31
But strive for the greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.
