Sha'ul�s First Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 12
{12:1} Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I don't want you to
be ignorant. {12:2} You know that when you were heathen, you were led
away to those mute idols, however you might be led. {12:3} Therefore I
make known to you that no man speaking by God's Spirit says, "Yeshua
is accursed." No one can say, "Yeshua is Lord," but by the [1>]Ruach
HaKodesh[<1]. {12:4} Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the
same Spirit. {12:5} There are various kinds of service, and the same
Lord. {12:6} There are various kinds of workings, but the same God,
who works all things in all. {12:7} But to each one is given the
manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all. {12:8} For to one
is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the
word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; {12:9} to another
faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the
same Spirit; {12:10} and to another workings of miracles; and to
another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; to another
different kinds of languages; and to another the interpretation of
languages. {12:11} But the one and the same Spirit works all of these,
distributing to each one separately as he desires. {12:12} For as the
body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body,
being many, are one body; so also is Messiah. {12:13} For in one
Spirit were we all immersed into one body, whether Yehudim or Yevanim,
whether bond or free; and were all made to drink into one Spirit.
{12:14} For the body is not one member, but many. {12:15} If the foot
would say, "Because I'm not the hand, I'm not part of the body," it is
not therefore not part of the body. {12:16} If the ear would say,
"Because I'm not the eye, I'm not part of the body," it's not
therefore not part of the body. {12:17} If the whole body were an eye,
where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the
smelling be? {12:18} But now God has set the members, each one of
them, in the body, just as he desired. {12:19} If they were all one
member, where would the body be? {12:20} But now they are many
members, but one body. {12:21} The eye can't tell the hand, "I have no
need for you," or again the head to the feet, "I have no need for
you." {12:22} No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to
be weaker are necessary. {12:23} Those parts of the body which we
think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor;
and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety; {12:24}
whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the
body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,
{12:25} that there should be no division in the body, but that the
members should have the same care for one another. {12:26} When one
member suffers, all the members suffer with it. Or when one member is
honored, all the members rejoice with it.
{12:27} Now you are the body of Messiah, and members individually.
{12:28} God has set some in the assembly, first apostles, secondly
prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of
healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages. {12:29}
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle
workers? {12:30} Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with
various languages? Do all interpret? {12:31} But desire earnestly the
best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.
