1 Corinthians 11:27-12:14

New American Standard Bible

²⁷ Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy way, shall be ^(A)guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. ²⁸ But a person must ^(B)examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. ²⁹ For the one who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not properly recognize the ^[a]body. ³⁰ For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number ^[b](C)are asleep. ³¹ But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. ³² But when we are judged, we are ^(D)disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with ^(E)the world.

³³ So then, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. ³⁴ If anyone is ^(F)hungry, have him eat ^(G)at home, so that you do not come together for judgment. As to the remaining matters, I will ^(H)give instructions ^(I)when I come.

The Use of Spiritual Gifts

12 Now concerning ^(J)spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, ^(K)I do not want you to be unaware. ^2 (L)You know that when you were ^[c]pagans, you were ^(M)led ^[d]astray to the ^(N)mute idols, however you were led. ³ Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking ^[e](O)by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is ^[f](P)accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is ^(Q)Lord,” except ^[g](R)by the Holy Spirit.

⁴ Now there are ^(S)varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. ⁵ And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. ⁶ There are varieties of effects, but the same ^(T)God who works all things in all persons. ⁷ But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit ^(U)for the common good. ⁸ For to one is given the word of ^(V)wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of ^(W)knowledge according to the same Spirit; ⁹ to another ^(X)faith ^[h]by the same Spirit, and to another ^(Y)gifts of ^[i]healing ^[j]by the one Spirit, ¹⁰ and to another the ^[k]effecting of ^[l](Z)miracles, and to another ^(AA)prophecy, and to another the ^[m](AB)distinguishing of spirits, to another various ^(AC)kinds of tongues, and to another the ^(AD)interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ But one and the same Spirit works all these things, ^(AE)distributing to each one individually just as He ^[n]wills.

¹² For just ^(AF)as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though they are many, are one body, ^(AG)so also is Christ. ¹³ For ^[o](AH)by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether ^(AI)Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to ^(AJ)drink of one Spirit.

¹⁴ For ^(AK)the body is not one part, but many.
