⁴ Now there are ^(A)varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. ⁵ And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. ⁶ There are varieties of effects, but the same ^(B)God who works all things in all persons. ⁷ But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit ^(C)for the common good. ⁸ For to one is given the word of ^(D)wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of ^(E)knowledge according to the same Spirit; ⁹ to another ^(F)faith ^[a]by the same Spirit, and to another ^(G)gifts of ^[b]healing ^[c]by the one Spirit, ¹⁰ and to another the ^[d]effecting of ^[e](H)miracles, and to another ^(I)prophecy, and to another the ^[f](J)distinguishing of spirits, to another various ^(K)kinds of tongues, and to another the ^(L)interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ But one and the same Spirit works all these things, ^(M)distributing to each one individually just as He ^[g]wills.

⁸ Love never fails; but if there are gifts of ^[a](A)prophecy, they will be done away with; if there are ^(B)tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away with. ⁹ For we ^(C)know in part and prophesy in part; ¹⁰ but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away with.

¹² The ^(A)distinguishing marks ^[a]of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by ^[b]signs, wonders, and ^[c]miracles.

⁷ But ^(A)to each one of us ^(B)grace was given ^(C)according to the measure of Christ’s gift. ⁸ Therefore ^[a]it says,

⁹ (Now this expression, “He ^(F)ascended,” what ^[b]does it mean except that He also ^[c]had descended into ^(G)the lower parts of the earth? ¹⁰ He who descended is Himself also He who ascended ^(H)far above all the heavens, so that He might ^(I)fill all things.) ¹¹ And He ^(J)gave ^(K)some as apostles, some as prophets, some as ^(L)evangelists, some as ^[d]pastors and ^(M)teachers, ^12 (N)for the equipping of the ^[e]saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of ^(O)the body of Christ;

Pay Attention

2 For this reason we must pay much closer attention to ^[a]what we have heard, so that ^(A)we do not drift away from it. ² For if the word ^(B)spoken through ^(C)angels proved ^[b]unalterable, and ^(D)every violation and act of disobedience received a just ^[c](E)punishment, ^3 (F)how will we escape if we neglect so great a ^(G)salvation? ^[d]After it was at first ^(H)spoken through the Lord, it was ^(I)confirmed to us by those who heard, ⁴ God also testifying with them, both by ^(J)signs and wonders, and by ^(K)various ^[e]miracles and by ^[f](L)gifts of the Holy Spirit ^(M)according to His own will.
