属灵的恩赐

12 弟兄们,我不愿意你们不明白有关属灵的事。 你们知道,当你们还是外邦人的时候,是怎样被引诱、被带到那些不能说话的偶像那里的。 因此我要你们明白:藉着神的灵说话的,没有一个人会说“耶稣该受诅咒”;同样,如果不藉着圣灵,也没有一个人能说:“耶稣是主。”

恩赐虽然有所不同,但圣灵却是同一位; 服事工作虽然有所不同,但主却是同一位; 功用虽然有所不同,但在每个人里面运作万事的神却是同一位。 不过圣灵显明在每个人的身上,是为了共同的益处,因为:

有人藉着圣灵被赐予了智慧的话语,
又有人藉着同一位圣灵被赐予了知识的话语,
另有人藉着同一位圣灵被赐予了信仰,
又有人藉着这独一的[a]圣灵被赐予了使人痊愈的恩赐,
10 又有人被赐予了大能的功用[b]
又有人被赐予了做先知传道[c]的恩赐[d]
又有人被赐予了对不同灵的分辨力,
另有人被赐予了各种殊言[e]
又有人被赐予了翻译殊言的恩赐[f]

11 然而,这一切都是这同一位圣灵,就是独一的圣灵所运作的;他照着自己的旨意,个别地分给每个人。

身体是一个

12 要知道,正如身体虽然是一个,却有很多部分[g],而身体[h]的各部分虽然有很多,却是一个身体;基督也是如此。 13 实际上,我们受洗也都是藉着一位圣灵成为一个身体——无论是犹太人或外邦人[i],无论是奴隶或自由人——并且我们都是受了一位圣灵的浇灌[j] 14 这样,身体也不是只有一个部分,而是有很多部分。 15 如果脚说:“因为我不是手,我就不属于身体”,难道它因此就不属于身体吗? 16 如果耳朵说:“因为我不是眼睛,我就不属于身体”,难道它因此就不属于身体吗? 17 如果整个身体是个眼睛,那么听觉在哪里呢?如果整个身体是个耳朵,那么嗅觉在哪里呢? 18 所以现在神照着自己的意愿,把各部分一一安置在身体上了。 19 如果全都是一个部分,那么身体在哪里呢? 20 但如今,身体的各部分虽然很多,身体却是一个。

21 所以眼睛不能对手说:“我不需要你!”头也不能对两脚说:“我不需要你们!” 22 相反,身体上那些所谓比较软弱的部分,难道不更是必要的吗? 23 并且身体上那些我们认为不太受尊重的部分,我们加添给它们格外的尊重;这样我们不俊美的部分,就有了格外的俊美。 24 至于我们那些俊美的部分,就不需要加添什么[k]了;而神搭配了身体,把格外的尊重赐给那有缺乏的, 25 免得身体中有分争,好让各部分彼此之间都有同样的关顾。 26 如果一个部分受苦,所有的部分就一同受苦;如果一个部分得荣耀,所有的部分就一同欢乐。

27 你们就是基督的身体,而且是各个部分中的一个。 28 在教会中,神所安排的:

首先是使徒,第二是做先知传道的[l],第三是教师,然后是有大能的[m]
随后是使人痊愈的恩赐、帮助的恩赐、管理的恩赐、各种殊言的恩赐。
29 难道都是使徒吗?都是做先知传道的吗?
都是教师吗?都是有大能的[n]吗?
30 都有使人痊愈的恩赐吗?都说殊言吗?
都翻译殊言吗?

31 其实你们要渴慕那些更大的恩赐;而我还要把极其高超的道[o]指示给你们。

Spiritual Gifts

12 With regard to spiritual gifts,[a] brothers and sisters,[b] I do not want you to be uninformed.[c] You know that when you were pagans you were often led astray by speechless idols, however you were led. So I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are different ministries, but the same Lord. And there are different results, but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. To each person the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the benefit of all. For one person is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, and another the message of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another performance of miracles, to another prophecy, and to another discernment of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 It is one and the same Spirit, distributing as he decides to each person, who produces all these things.

Different Members in One Body

12 For just as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body—though many—are one body, so too is Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Whether Jews or Greeks or slaves[d] or free, we were all made to drink of the one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not a single member, but many. 15 If the foot says, “Since I am not a hand, I am not part of the body,” it does not lose its membership in the body because of that. 16 And if the ear says, “Since I am not an eye, I am not part of the body,” it does not lose its membership in the body because of that. 17 If the whole body were an eye, what part would do the hearing? If the whole were an ear, what part would exercise the sense of smell? 18 But as a matter of fact, God has placed each of the members in the body just as he decided. 19 If they were all the same member, where would the body be? 20 So now there are many members, but one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you,” nor in turn can the head say to the foot, “I do not need you.” 22 On the contrary, those members that seem to be weaker are essential, 23 and those members we consider less honorable we clothe with greater honor, and our unpresentable members are clothed with dignity,[e] 24 but our presentable members do not need this. Instead, God has blended together the body, giving greater honor to the lesser member, 25 so that there may be no division in the body, but the members may have mutual concern for one another. 26 If one member suffers, everyone suffers with it. If a[f] member is honored, all rejoice with it.

27 Now you are Christ’s body, and each of you is a member of it. 28 And God has placed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, gifts of healing, helps, gifts of leadership, different kinds of tongues. 29 Not all are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they? Not all are teachers, are they? Not all perform miracles, do they? 30 Not all have gifts of healing, do they? Not all speak in tongues, do they? Not all interpret, do they?[g] 31 But you should be eager for the greater gifts.

And now I will show you a way that is beyond comparison.[h]

The addition of ἕν appears to be motivated by its presence earlier in the verse with μέλος and the parallel structure of the two conditional clauses in this verse, while little reason can be given for its absence (although accidental oversight is of course possible, it is not likely that all these witnesses should have overlooked it).

圣灵的恩赐

12 弟兄姊妹,谈到圣灵的恩赐,我不希望你们无知。 你们知道,自己在信主前曾受到迷惑和引诱去拜不会说话的偶像。 因此我希望你们知道,一个被上帝的灵感动的人绝不会说“耶稣该受咒诅”;若不是受了圣灵的感动,没有人会说“耶稣是主”。

恩赐各有不同,但圣灵是同一位。 事奉各有不同,但主是同一位。 工作各有不同,但上帝是同一位,祂在众人当中成就万事。 圣灵给各人不同的恩赐为要使众人得益处。 这人从圣灵领受智言,那人从圣灵领受知识; 圣灵赐这人信心,赐那人医病的恩赐; 10 圣灵使这人能行神迹,使那人能做先知讲道;使这人能辨别诸灵,使那人能说方言[a],又使另一人能翻译方言。 11 这一切都是同一位圣灵所赐的,是祂按自己的旨意分别赐给各人的。

同属一个身体

12 这如同一个身体有许多肢体,肢体虽多,仍同属一个身体。基督的身体也是这样。 13 不论是犹太人或希腊人,是奴隶或自由人,我们都领受了同一位圣灵的洗礼,归入了同一个身体,同饮一位圣灵。

14 人的身体并非只有一个肢体,乃是由许多肢体组成的。 15 如果脚说:“我不是手,所以我不属于身体。”难道脚就因此不属于身体吗? 16 如果耳朵说:“我不是眼睛,所以我不属于身体。”难道耳朵就因此不属于身体吗? 17 如果整个身体是一只眼睛,哪里有听觉呢?如果整个身体是一只耳朵,哪里有嗅觉呢?

18 但事实上,上帝按自己的旨意将各个肢体安置在身体上了。 19 如果全身只有一个肢体,还会是身体吗? 20 如今肢体虽多,但身体只有一个。 21 眼睛不能对手说:“我不需要你。”头也不能对脚说:“我不需要你。”

22 相反,看起来不太重要的肢体事实上是不可或缺的。 23 我们认为身体上不体面的肢体,越要加以美化;不雅观的肢体,越要精心呵护。 24 我们身上体面的肢体用不着美化。上帝把身体的各肢体安排在一起,使那些不体面的肢体更体面, 25 这样身体各肢体才可以彼此相顾,不会分门别类。 26 如果身体某个肢体感到痛苦,全身也一同受苦。如果某个肢体得到荣耀,全身也一同喜乐。

27 你们正是基督身体的不同肢体。 28 上帝在教会中设立的第一是使徒,第二是先知,第三是教师,其次是行神迹的,然后是有医病恩赐的,帮助别人的,管理事务的,说各种方言的。 29 岂是都做使徒吗?都做先知吗?都做教师吗?都行神迹吗? 30 都有医病的恩赐吗?都懂得说方言吗?都会翻译方言吗? 31 你们应该热心追求更大的恩赐。

现在,我要将一条奇妙无比的道路指示你们!
