1 Corinthians 12:1-15 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.

2. You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the speechless idols, however you were led.

3. Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed,” and no one is able to say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit.

4. Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit,

5. and there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord,

6. and there are varieties of activities, but the same God, who works all things in all people.

7. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for what is beneficial to all.

8. For to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge by the same Spirit,

9. to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

10. to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing of spirits, to another kinds of tongues, to another interpretation of tongues.

11. But in all these things one and the same Spirit is at work, distributing to each one individually just as he wishes.

12. For just as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, although they are many, are one body, thus also Christ.

13. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free persons, and all were made to drink one Spirit.

14. For the body is not one member, but many.

15. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” not because of this is it not a part of the body.
