哥林多前书 12
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
屬靈的恩賜
12 弟兄們,關於屬靈的恩賜,我不願意你們不明白。 2 你們知道,你們還是教外人的時候,總是受迷惑被引誘,去拜那不能說話的偶像。 3 所以我要你們知道,被 神的靈感動而說話的人,沒有一個會說“耶穌是可咒詛的”;除非是被聖靈感動,也沒有人能說“耶穌是主”。
4 恩賜有許多種,卻是同一位聖靈所賜的; 5 服事的職分有許多種,但是同一位主; 6 工作的方式也有許多種,但仍是一位 神,是他在眾人裡面作成一切。 7 聖靈顯現在各人的身上,為的是要使人得著益處。 8 有人藉著聖靈領受了智慧的言語,又有人靠著同一位聖靈領受了知識的言語, 9 又有人因著同一位聖靈領受了信心,還有人因著這位聖靈領受了醫病的恩賜, 10 另有人可以行神蹟,另有人可以講道,另有人可以辨別諸靈,也有人能說各種的方言,也有人能翻譯方言。 11 這一切都是這同一位聖靈所作的,他按照自己的意思個別地分給各人。
12 正如身體是一個,卻有許多肢體,而且肢體雖然很多,身體仍是一個;基督也是這樣。 13 我們無論是猶太人,是希臘人,是作奴隸的,是自由的,都在那一位聖靈裡受了洗,成為一個身體,都飲了那一位聖靈。 14 原來身體有許多肢體,並不是只有一個肢體。 15 假如腳說:“我不是手,所以我不屬於身體。”它不能因此就不屬於身體。 16 假如耳朵說:“我不是眼睛,所以我不屬於身體。”它也不能因此就不屬於身體。 17 假如整個身體只是眼睛,怎樣聽呢?假如整個身體只是耳朵,怎樣聞味呢? 18 但現在 神按照自己的意思,把肢體一一放在身體上。 19 假如所有的只是一個肢體,怎能算是身體呢? 20 但現在肢體雖然很多,身體卻只是一個。 21 眼睛不能對手說:“我不需要你。”頭也不能對腳說:“我不需要你們。” 22 相反地,身體上那些似乎比較軟弱的肢體,更是不可缺少的。 23 我們認為身體上不大體面的部分,就更加要把它裝飾得體面;不大美觀的部分,就更加要使它美觀。 24 我們身體上美觀的部分,就不需要這樣了。但 神卻這樣把身體組成了:格外地把體面加給比較有缺欠的肢體, 25 好使肢體能夠互相照顧,免得身體上有了分裂。 26 如果一個肢體受苦,所有的肢體就一同受苦;如果一個肢體得榮耀,所有的肢體就一同快樂。
27 你們就是基督的身體,並且每一個人都是作肢體的。 28 神在教會裡所設立的,第一是使徒,第二是先知,第三是教師,其次是行神蹟的,再其次是有醫病恩賜的,幫助人的,治理事的,說各種方言的。 29 難道都是使徒嗎?都是先知嗎?都是教師嗎?都是行神蹟的嗎? 30 都是有醫病恩賜的嗎?都是說方言的嗎?都是翻譯方言的嗎? 31 你們卻要熱切地追求那些更大的恩賜。
信望愛中最大的是愛
現在我要把更高的道路指示你們。

Gifts from the Holy Spirit
12 Now, brothers and sisters, I don’t want you to ·misunderstand [be uninformed] ·about [concerning; or in regard to your question about; see 7:1; 8:1; 16:1] spiritual gifts. 2 You know the way you lived ·before you were believers [L when you were pagans/Gentiles]. You let yourselves be influenced and led away to worship idols—things that could not speak. 3 So I want you to understand that no one who is speaking ·with the help of [by means of; in the power of] God’s Spirit says, “Jesus be cursed.” And no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” ·without the help of [L except by means of/in the power of] the Holy Spirit.
4 There are different kinds of gifts, but they are all from the same Spirit. 5 There are different ·ways to serve [ministries] but the same Lord to serve. 6 And there are different ·ways that God works through people [kinds of action; activities] but the same God works ·in all of us in everything we do [L all things in all people]. 7 ·Something from the Spirit can be seen in [L The manifestation/disclosure of the Spirit is given to] each person, for the common good. 8 The Spirit gives one person the ·ability to speak with wisdom [message/word of wisdom], and the same Spirit gives another the ·ability to speak with knowledge [message/word of knowledge]. 9 The same Spirit gives faith to one person. And, to another, that one Spirit gives gifts of healing. 10 The Spirit gives to another person ·the power to do miracles [works of power], to another ·the ability to prophesy [L prophecy]. And he gives to another the ·ability to know the difference between good and evil [L discernment/distinguishing of] spirits. The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak in different kinds of ·languages [or ecstatic utterance; L tongues] and to another the ·ability to interpret those languages [L interpretation of tongues]. 11 One Spirit, the same Spirit, does all these things, and the Spirit ·decides what to give [L distributes just as he wishes to] each person.
The Body of Christ Works Together
12 A person’s body is ·one thing [a unity; L one], but it has many parts. Though there are many parts to a body, all those parts make only one body. Christ is like that also. 13 Some of us are Jews, and some are Greeks. Some of us are slaves, and some are free. But we were all baptized into one body ·through [by; in] one Spirit. And we were all made to ·share in [L drink of] the one Spirit.
14 [L For] The ·human body [L body] is not made up of one part, but of many. 15 The foot might say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not part of the body.” But saying this would not stop the foot from being a part of the body. 16 The ear might say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not part of the body.” But saying this would not stop the ear from being a part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, ·it would not be able to [L how would it…?] hear. If the whole body were an ear, ·it would not be able to [L how would it…?] smell.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the foot, “I don’t need you!” 22 ·No! [L On the contrary,] Those parts of the body that seem to be the weaker are ·really necessary [essential; indispensable]. 23 And the parts of the body we think are less ·deserving [honorable] are the parts to which we give ·the most [special; greater] honor. We ·give special respect to [or treat with special modesty] the parts ·we want to hide [that are shameful/unpresentable]. 24 The more ·respectable [presentable] parts of our body need no special care. But God put the body together and gave ·more [special] honor to the parts that need it 25 so ·our body would not be divided [or there would be no division in the body]. God wanted the different parts to care the same for each other. 26 If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts suffer with it. Or if one part of our body is ·honored [glorified], all the other parts ·share its honor [L rejoice with it].
27 ·Together you [L You; C the Greek is plural] are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of that body. 28 In the church God has ·given a place first to [appointed/placed first] apostles, second to prophets, and third to teachers, then those who do ·miracles [acts of powers], those who have gifts of healing, those who can help others, those who are able to ·govern [lead], and those who can speak ·in different languages [or with ecstatic utterance; L different kinds of tongues; v. 10]. 29 ·Not all are apostles [L Not all are apostles, are they? C vv. 29–30 are all rhetorical questions assuming a negative answer]. Not all are prophets. Not all are teachers. Not all do miracles. 30 Not all have gifts of healing. Not all speak ·in different languages [or with ecstatic utterance; L in tongues]. Not all interpret those ·languages [L tongues]. 31 But ·you should truly want to have [eagerly desire; be zealous for] the greater gifts.
And now I will show you ·the best way of all [a better/superior way].
1 Corinthians 12
King James Version
12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.
25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
