121Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant.+2Ye know that when ye were Gentiles [ye were] led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led.+3Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit.+4Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.+5And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord.+6And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all.+7But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.+8For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:+9to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;+10and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another [divers] kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:+11but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.+
The Body of Christ
12For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.+13For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.+14For the body is not one member, but many.+15If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.+16And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.+17If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?+18But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.+19And if they were all one member, where were the body?+20But now they are many members, but one body.+21And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.+22Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:+23and those [parts] of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness;+24whereas our comely [parts] have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that [part] which lacked;+25that there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.+26And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or [one] member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.+
The Greater Gifts
27Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.+28And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, [divers] kinds of tongues.+29Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all [workers of] miracles?+30have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?+31But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you.+
