哥林多前書 12
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
聖靈的恩賜
12 弟兄姊妹,談到聖靈的恩賜,我不希望你們無知。 2 你們知道,自己在信主前曾受到迷惑和引誘去拜不會說話的偶像。 3 因此我希望你們知道,一個被上帝的靈感動的人絕不會說「耶穌該受咒詛」;若不是受了聖靈的感動,沒有人會說「耶穌是主」。
4 恩賜各有不同,但聖靈是同一位。 5 事奉各有不同,但主是同一位。 6 工作各有不同,但上帝是同一位,祂在眾人當中成就萬事。 7 聖靈給各人不同的恩賜為要使眾人得益處。 8 這人從聖靈領受智言,那人從聖靈領受知識; 9 聖靈賜這人信心,賜那人醫病的恩賜; 10 聖靈使這人能行神蹟,使那人能作先知講道;使這人能辨別諸靈,使那人能說方言[a],又使另一人能翻譯方言。 11 這一切都是同一位聖靈所賜的,是祂按自己的旨意分別賜給各人的。
同屬一個身體
12 這如同一個身體有許多肢體,肢體雖多,仍同屬一個身體。基督的身體也是這樣。 13 不論是猶太人或希臘人,是奴隸或自由人,我們都領受了同一位聖靈的洗禮,歸入了同一個身體,同飲一位聖靈。
14 人的身體並非只有一個肢體,乃是由許多肢體組成的。 15 如果腳說:「我不是手,所以我不屬於身體。」難道腳就因此不屬於身體嗎? 16 如果耳朵說:「我不是眼睛,所以我不屬於身體。」難道耳朵就因此不屬於身體嗎? 17 如果整個身體是一隻眼睛,哪裡有聽覺呢?如果整個身體是一隻耳朵,哪裡有嗅覺呢?
18 但事實上,上帝按自己的旨意將各個肢體安置在身體上了。 19 如果全身只有一個肢體,還會是身體嗎? 20 如今肢體雖多,但身體只有一個。 21 眼睛不能對手說:「我不需要你。」頭也不能對腳說:「我不需要你。」
22 相反,看起來不太重要的肢體事實上是不可或缺的。 23 我們認為身體上不體面的肢體,越要加以美化;不雅觀的肢體,越要精心呵護。 24 我們身上體面的肢體用不著美化。上帝把身體的各肢體安排在一起,使那些不體面的肢體更體面, 25 這樣身體各肢體才可以彼此相顧,不會分門別類。 26 如果身體某個肢體感到痛苦,全身也一同受苦。如果某個肢體得到榮耀,全身也一同喜樂。
27 你們正是基督身體的不同肢體。 28 上帝在教會中設立的第一是使徒,第二是先知,第三是教師,其次是行神蹟的,然後是有醫病恩賜的,幫助別人的,管理事務的,說各種方言的。 29 豈是都作使徒嗎?都作先知嗎?都作教師嗎?都行神蹟嗎? 30 都有醫病的恩賜嗎?都懂得說方言嗎?都會翻譯方言嗎? 31 你們應該熱心追求更大的恩賜。
現在,我要將一條奇妙無比的道路指示你們!

圣灵的恩赐
12 兄弟们,关于属灵的恩赐的问题,我不希望你们一无所知。 2 你们知道,当你们是异教徒时,你们被引入歧途去崇拜偶像—那些没有生命的东西。 3 因此我告诉你们,借助上帝圣灵的人不会说∶“耶稣该受诅咒。”除非借助圣灵 [a]的人,也没人会说∶“耶稣是主。”
4 虽然有各种各样属灵的恩赐,但它们都是来自同一位圣灵。 5 有各种各样的侍奉,但是侍奉的都是同一个主。 6 在人们当中,上帝用不同的方式工作着,但都是同一个上帝在工作着。 7 为了大家的利益,圣灵对每个人有不同的显示方式。 8 通过圣灵,一个人话语里充满智慧。凭借这同一圣灵,另一个人话语里则充满了知识。 9 同一位圣灵赐给这人信仰,却赐给那个人治病的能力。 10 同一位圣灵赐给一个人创造奇迹的才能,而给予另一个人的才能是宣讲上帝的信息。圣灵赐给了这人分辨圣灵与邪灵的能力,赐给那人的却是讲不同的语言的才能,而赐给另一个人的则是翻译的才能。 11 就是这同一位圣灵成就了所有这些事。他按照自己的愿望,分配给每个人不同的才能。
基督的身体
12 正如身体只有一个,却由不同的肢体组成,尽管肢体很多,但身体仍然是一个,基督也是如此。 13 不论是犹太人还是外族人,不论是奴隶还是自由人,我们都接受了同一个灵的洗礼,成为一体,共享同一圣灵。
14 人体不是由一个肢体,而是由许多肢体组成的。 15 如果脚说∶“我不是手,我不属于身体。”难道它就因此不是身体的一部分了吗? 16 假如耳朵说∶“我不是眼睛,我不属于身体。”它也不会因此就不再是身体的一部分了。 17 如果整个身体都是眼睛,那么听觉到哪里去了呢?如果整个身体都是耳朵,那么味觉又在哪里呢? 18 但是事实上,上帝按照自己的意愿,给每个部位都安排了自己的位子。 19 如果所有的器官都一样,怎么能算身体呢? 20 然而事实上,肢体尽管有许多部分,身体却只有一个。
21 眼睛不能对手说∶“我不需要你。”或者再举一个例子,头不能对脚说∶“我不需要你们。” 22 恰恰相反,我们身体里那些被认为比较脆弱的部分却是非常重要的; 23 我们身体里似乎不大光彩的部位,却是我们格外爱护的部位。对于那些我们不想显露的部位,尤其要给予特别的关注。 24 而我们身体上那些比较美观的部位却不需要特别的关注。上帝用这种方式组成了我们的身体,他把更多的荣耀赐给了那些缺乏它的部位, 25 为的是不让身体内有分裂,而是让所有的部位彼此都得到同样的关照。 26 如果身体有哪一部分受苦,身体的所有的部位都跟着受罪;如果身体有哪一部位得到荣耀,身体里所有的其它部位都会一同分享它的荣耀。
27 你们是基督的身体,你们每个人都是这个身体的一部分。 28 在这个教会里,上帝首先安置了使徒,第二是先知,第三是教师,其次是能行奇迹的人。然后安置了能治病的人,帮助他人的人,有领导才能的人,和能说不同语言的人。 29 不是所有的人都是使徒、先知、老师,也不是所有的人都能行奇迹、 30 治病,不是所有的人都能说不同的语言,不是所有的人都能翻译它们。 31 不过,你们应该真正地追求圣灵更伟大的恩赐。
爱是最好的恩赐
我要指给你们一条最好的道路。

1 Corinthians 12
New English Translation
Spiritual Gifts
12 With regard to spiritual gifts,[a] brothers and sisters,[b] I do not want you to be uninformed.[c] 2 You know that when you were pagans you were often led astray by speechless idols, however you were led. 3 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.
4 Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are different ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are different results, but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. 7 To each person the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the benefit of all. 8 For one person is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, and another the message of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 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).

New International Version
Concerning Spiritual Gifts
12 Now about the gifts of the Spirit,(A) brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.(B) 2 You know that when you were pagans,(C) somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.(D) 3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,”(E) and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,”(F) except by the Holy Spirit.(G)
4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit(H) distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone(I) it is the same God(J) at work.
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.(K) 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom,(L) to another a message of knowledge(M) by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith(N) by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing(O) by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers,(P) to another prophecy,(Q) to another distinguishing between spirits,(R) to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a](S) and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit,(T) and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
Unity and Diversity in the Body
12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body,(U) so it is with Christ.(V) 13 For we were all baptized(W) by[c] one Spirit(X) so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free(Y)—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.(Z) 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.(AA)
15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But in fact God has placed(AB) the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.(AC) 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.(AD)
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27 Now you are the body of Christ,(AE) and each one of you is a part of it.(AF) 28 And God has placed in the church(AG) first of all apostles,(AH) second prophets,(AI) third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing,(AJ) of helping, of guidance,(AK) and of different kinds of tongues.(AL) 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues[d]?(AM) Do all interpret? 31 Now eagerly desire(AN) the greater gifts.
Love Is Indispensable
And yet I will show you the most excellent way.
