1 Corinto 12
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Tungkol sa mga Kaloob na Espirituwal
12 Ngayon naman, mga kapatid, nais kong malaman ninyo ang tungkol sa mga kaloob na espirituwal. 2 Alam ninyo na noong mga pagano pa kayo, iniligaw kayo sa mga piping diyus-diyosan. 3 Nais ko ngang maunawaan ninyo na walang nagsasalita sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu ng Diyos na nagsasabi, “Sumpain si Jesus!” at walang makapagsasabi, “Si Jesus ay Panginoon,” maliban sa patnubay ng Banal na Espiritu.
4 May (A) iba't ibang uri ng mga kaloob, ngunit mula sa iisang Espiritu. 5 At may iba't ibang uri ng paglilingkod, ngunit mula sa iisang Panginoon. 6 May iba't ibang uri ng gawain, ngunit mula sa iisang Diyos na gumagawa ng lahat ng bagay sa lahat. 7 Ngunit ibinigay sa bawat isa ang kapahayagan ng Espiritu para sa kapakinabangan ng lahat. 8 May binigyan ng salita ng karunungan sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu, at ang iba nama'y binigyan ng salita ng kaalaman ayon sa gayunding Espiritu; 9 ang iba'y pananampalataya sa pamamagitan ng gayunding Espiritu, at ang iba'y mga kaloob ng pagpapagaling sa pamamagitan ng iisang Espiritu. 10 Ang iba'y binigyan ng kapangyarihang gumawa ng mga himala, ang iba'y propesiya, ang iba'y kakayahang kumilala ng mga espiritu, ang iba'y kakayahang magsalita ng iba't ibang wika, at ang iba nama'y pagpapaliwanag ng mga wika. 11 Ngunit ang lahat ng ito ay pinakikilos ng iisa at parehong Espiritu, na namamahagi sa bawat isa ayon sa ninanais ng Espiritu.
Iisang Katawan, Maraming Bahagi
12 Sapagkat (B) kung paanong iisa ang katawan at marami ang mga bahagi, at ang lahat ng bahagi ng katawan, bagama't marami ay iisang katawan, gayundin naman kay Cristo. 13 Sapagkat sa pamamagitan ng iisang Espiritu ay binautismuhan tayong lahat tungo sa iisang katawan, maging Judio o Griyego, alipin o malaya—at tayong lahat ay pinainom sa isang Espiritu. 14 Sapagkat ang katawan ay hindi binubuo ng iisang bahagi, kundi ng marami. 15 Kung sasabihin ng paa, “Sapagkat hindi ako kamay, hindi ako kabilang sa katawan,” hindi na nga ba ito bahagi ng katawan? 16 At kung sasabihin ng tainga, “Sapagkat hindi ako mata, hindi ako kabilang sa katawan,” hindi na nga ba ito bahagi ng katawan? 17 Kung ang buong katawan ay mata, saan naroroon ang pandinig? Kung ang lahat ay pandinig, saan naroroon ang pang-amoy? 18 Inilagay ng Diyos ang mga bahagi ng katawan, ang bawat isa sa kanila ayon sa kanyang kagustuhan. 19 At kung ang lahat ay isang bahagi, nasaan pa ang katawan? 20 Maraming mga bahagi ngunit iisa ang katawan. 21 Ang mata ay hindi makapagsasabi sa kamay, “Hindi kita kailangan,” at hindi rin makapagsasabi ang ulo sa mga paa, “Hindi ko kayo kailangan.” 22 Sa halip, ang mga bahagi ng katawan na sa tingin natin ay mahihina ay silang kailangan. 23 Ang mga bahagi ng katawan na sa tingin natin ay walang karangalan, ay pinag-uukulan natin ng ibayong karangalan, at ang mga kahiya-hiyang bahagi natin ang lalong pinararangalan— 24 na hindi naman kailangan ng mga bahagi nating higit na magaganda. Subalit ang Diyos ang bumuo ng katawan sa paraang mabibigyan ng ibayong kapurihan ang bahaging may kakulangan. 25 Ito'y upang huwag magkaroon ng pagkakahati-hati sa katawan, kundi ang mga bahagi ay magkaroon ng parehong pagmamalasakit sa isa't isa. 26 Kapag naghihirap ang isang bahagi, lahat ay naghihirap na kasama niya; o kapag ang isang bahagi ay pinararangalan, sama-samang natutuwa ang mga bahagi.
27 Kayo nga ang katawan ni Cristo, at ang bawat isa'y bahagi nito. 28 At (C) ang Diyos ay naglagay sa iglesya, una, ng mga apostol, ikalawa, ng mga propeta, ikatlo, ng mga guro, at ng mga himala, at mga kaloob ng pagpapagaling, mga pagtulong, mga kakayahan sa pamumuno, at iba't ibang uri ng wika. 29 Lahat ba'y mga apostol? Lahat ba'y mga propeta? Lahat ba'y mga guro? Lahat ba'y mga manggagawa ng mga himala? 30 Lahat ba'y may mga kaloob ng pagpapagaling? Lahat ba'y nagsasalita ng iba't ibang wika? Lahat ba'y nagpapaliwanag? 31 Ngunit pakamithiin ninyo ang mga mas dakilang kaloob.
At ngayon ay ipapakita ko sa inyo ang walang kapantay na daan.

Spiritual gifts
12 Brothers and sisters, I don’t want you to be ignorant about spiritual gifts. 2 You know that when you were Gentiles you were often misled by false gods that can’t even speak. 3 So I want to make it clear to you that no one says, “Jesus is cursed!” when speaking by God’s Spirit, and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. 4 There are different spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; 5 and there are different ministries and the same Lord; 6 and there are different activities but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. 7 A demonstration of the Spirit is given to each person for the common good. 8 A word of wisdom is given by the Spirit to one person, a word of knowledge to another according to the same Spirit, 9 faith to still another by the same Spirit, gifts of healing to another in the one Spirit, 10 performance of miracles to another, prophecy to another, the ability to tell spirits apart to another, different kinds of tongues[a] to another, and the interpretation of the tongues to another. 11 All these things are produced by the one and same Spirit who gives what he wants to each person.
12 Christ is just like the human body—a body is a unit and has many parts; and all the parts of the body are one body, even though there are many. 13 We were all baptized by one Spirit into one body, whether Jew or Greek, or slave or free, and we all were given one Spirit to drink. 14 Certainly the body isn’t one part but many. 15 If the foot says, “I’m not part of the body because I’m not a hand,” does that mean it’s not part of the body? 16 If the ear says, “I’m not part of the body because I’m not an eye,” does that mean it’s not part of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, what would happen to the hearing? And if the whole body were an ear, what would happen to the sense of smell? 18 But as it is, God has placed each one of the parts in the body just like he wanted. 19 If all were one and the same body part, what would happen to the body? 20 But as it is, there are many parts but one body. 21 So the eye can’t say to the hand, “I don’t need you,” or in turn, the head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.” 22 Instead, the parts of the body that people think are the weakest are the most necessary. 23 The parts of the body that we think are less honorable are the ones we honor the most. The private parts of our body that aren’t presentable are the ones that are given the most dignity. 24 The parts of our body that are presentable don’t need this. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the part with less honor 25 so that there won’t be division in the body and so the parts might have mutual concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part gets the glory, all the parts celebrate with it. 27 You are the body of Christ and parts of each other. 28 In the church, God has appointed first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, the ability to help others, leadership skills, different kinds of tongues. 29 All aren’t apostles, are they? All aren’t prophets, are they? All aren’t teachers, are they? All don’t perform miracles, do they? 30 All don’t have gifts of healing, do they? All don’t speak in different tongues, do they? All don’t interpret, do they? 31 Use your ambition to try to get the greater gifts. And I’m going to show you an even better way.

New King James Version
Spiritual Gifts: Unity in Diversity
12 Now (A)concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: 2 You know (B)that[a] you were Gentiles, carried away to these (C)dumb[b] idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus [c]accursed, and (D)no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
4 (E)There are [d]diversities of gifts, but (F)the same Spirit. 5 (G)There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God (H)who works [e]all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given (I)the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another (J)the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 (K)to another faith by the same Spirit, to another (L)gifts of healings by [f]the same Spirit, 10 (M)to another the working of miracles, to another (N)prophecy, to another (O)discerning of spirits, to another (P)different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, (Q)distributing to each one individually (R)as He wills.
Unity and Diversity in One Body(S)
12 For (T)as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, (U)so also is Christ. 13 For (V)by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—(W)whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and (X)have all been made to drink [g]into one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not one member but many.
15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? 18 But now (Y)God has set the members, each one of them, in the body (Z)just as He pleased. 19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be?
20 But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. 23 And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, 24 but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, 25 that there should be no [h]schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now (AA)you are the body of Christ, and (AB)members individually. 28 And (AC)God has appointed these in the church: first (AD)apostles, second (AE)prophets, third teachers, after that (AF)miracles, then (AG)gifts of healings, (AH)helps, (AI)administrations, varieties of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But (AJ)earnestly desire the [i]best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.
