²⁸ And God has placed in the church^(A) first of all apostles,^(B) second prophets,^(C) third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing,^(D) of helping, of guidance,^(E) and of different kinds of tongues.^(F)

⁸ To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom,^(A) to another a message of knowledge^(B) by means of the same Spirit, ⁹ to another faith^(C) by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing^(D) by that one Spirit, ¹⁰ to another miraculous powers,^(E) to another prophecy,^(F) to another distinguishing between spirits,^(G) to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,^[a](H) and to still another the interpretation of tongues.^[b]

¹¹ So Christ himself gave^(A) the apostles,^(B) the prophets,^(C) the evangelists,^(D) the pastors and teachers,^(E)

⁶ We have different gifts,^(A) according to the grace given to each of us.

¹¹ If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God.^(A) If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides,^(B) so that in all things God may be praised^(C) through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.^(D)
