Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus be cursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of working, but it is the same God who inspires them all in every one. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are inspired by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

One Body with Many Members

12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.(G) To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom,(H) to another a message of knowledge(I) by means of the same Spirit, to another faith(J) by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing(K) by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers,(L) to another prophecy,(M) to another distinguishing between spirits,(N) to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a](O) and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit,(P) 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,(Q) so it is with Christ.(R) 13 For we were all baptized(S) by[c] one Spirit(T) so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free(U)—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.(V)
