(A)Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard,
And which have not entered the human heart,
All that God has prepared for those who love Him.”

So also the thoughts of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we (F)have not received the spirit of (G)the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God.

However, as it is written:

“What no eye has seen,
    what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”[a]
    the things God has prepared for those who love him—(A)

10 these are the things God has revealed(B) to us by his Spirit.(C)

The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts(D) except their own spirit(E) within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit(F) of the world,(G) but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking [a](A)by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is [b](B)accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is (C)Lord,” except [c](D)by the Holy Spirit.

Now there are (E)varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same (F)God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit (G)for the common good. For to one is given the word of (H)wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of (I)knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another (J)faith [d]by the same Spirit, and to another (K)gifts of [e]healing [f]by the one Spirit, 10 and to another the [g]effecting of [h](L)miracles, and to another (M)prophecy, and to another the [i](N)distinguishing of spirits, to another various (O)kinds of tongues, and to another the (P)interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, (Q)distributing to each one individually just as He [j]wills.

12 For just (R)as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though they are many, are one body, (S)so also is Christ. 13 For [k](T)by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether (U)Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to (V)drink of one Spirit.

Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,”(A) and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,”(B) except by the Holy Spirit.(C)

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit(D) distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone(E) it is the same God(F) at work.

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)

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.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

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.

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
