GOD'S WORD Translation GW
New International Version NIV
1 Brothers and sisters, I don't want there to be any misunderstanding concerning spiritual gifts.
1
Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.
2 You know that when you were unbelievers, every time you were led to worship false gods you were worshiping gods who couldn't even speak.

You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.
3 So I want you to know that no one speaking by God's Spirit says, "Jesus is cursed." No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.
