| 12:1 |
 ow concerning spirituall giftes, brethren, I would not haue you ignorant. |
|
| 12:2 |
Yee know that yee were Gentiles, caryed away vnto these dumbe idoles, euen as ye were led. |
|
| 12:3 |
Wherefore I giue you to vnderstand, that no man speaking by the spirit of God, calleth Iesus accursed: and that no man can say that Iesus is the Lord, but by the holy Ghost. |
 |
| 12:4 |
Nowe there are diuersities of gifts, but the same spirit. |
|
| 12:5 |
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. |
|
| 12:6 |
And there are diuersities of operations, but it is the same God, which worketh all in all. |
|
| 12:7 |
But the manifestation of the spirit, is giuen to euery man to profit withall. |
|
| 12:8 |
For to one is giuen by the spirit, the word of wisedome, to another the word of knowledge, by the same spirit. |
|
| 12:9 |
To another faith, by the same spirit: to another the gifts of healing, by the same spirit: |
|
| 12:10 |
To another the working of miracles, to another prophecie, to another discerning of spirits, to another diuers kindes of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. |
|
| 12:11 |
But all these worketh that one and the selfe same spirit, diuiding to euery man seuerally as he will. |
|
| 12:12 |
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the membrs of that one body, being many, are one bodie: so also is Christ. |
|
| 12:13 |
For by one spirit are we all baptized into one bodie, whether wee bee Iewes or Gentiles, whether wee bee bond or free: and haue beene all made to drinke into one spirit. |
|
| 12:14 |
For the body is not one member, but many. |
|
| 12:15 |
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body: is it therefore not of the body? |
|
| 12:16 |
And if the eare shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body: is it therefore not of the body? |
|
| 12:17 |
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? |
|
| 12:18 |
But now hath God set the members, euery one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. |
|
| 12:19 |
And if they were all one member, where were the body? |
|
| 12:20 |
But now are they many members, yet but one body. |
|
| 12:21 |
And the eye cannot say vnto the hand, I haue no need of thee: nor againe, the head to the feete, I haue no neede of you. |
|
| 12:22 |
Nay, much more those members of the bodie, which seeme to bee more feeble, are necessary. |
|
| 12:23 |
And those members of the bodie, which wee thinke to bee lesse honourable, vpon these we bestow more abundant honour, and our vncomely parts haue more abundant comelinesse. |
|
| 12:24 |
For our comely parts haue no need: but God hath tempered the bodie together, hauing giuen more abundant honour to that part which lacked: |
|
| 12:25 |
That there should be no schisme in the body: but that the members should haue the same care one for another. |
|
| 12:26 |
And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it: or one member be honoured, all the members reioyce with it. |
|
| 12:27 |
Now yee are the body of Christ, and members in particular. |
|
| 12:28 |
And God hath set some in the Church, first Apostles, secondarily Prophets, thirdly Teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helpes in gouernmets, diuersities of tongues. |
|
| 12:29 |
Are all Apostles? are all Prophets? are all Teachers? are all workers of miracles? |
|
| 12:30 |
Haue all the gifts of healing? doe all speake with tongues? doe all interpret? |
|
| 12:31 |
But couet earnestly the best gifts: And yet shew I vnto you a more excellent way. |
