1 Corinthians 12
New American Standard Bible
The Use of Spiritual Gifts
12 Now concerning (A)spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, (B)I do not want you to be unaware. 2 (C)You know that when you were [a]pagans, you were (D)led [b]astray to the (E)mute idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking [c](F)by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is [d](G)accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is (H)Lord,” except [e](I)by the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there are (J)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 (K)God who works all things in all persons. 7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit (L)for the common good. 8 For to one is given the word of (M)wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of (N)knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9 to another (O)faith [f]by the same Spirit, and to another (P)gifts of [g]healing [h]by the one Spirit, 10 and to another the [i]effecting of [j](Q)miracles, and to another (R)prophecy, and to another the [k](S)distinguishing of spirits, to another various (T)kinds of tongues, and to another the (U)interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, (V)distributing to each one individually just as He [l]wills.
12 For just (W)as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though they are many, are one body, (X)so also is Christ. 13 For [m](Y)by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether (Z)Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to (AA)drink of one Spirit.
14 For (AB)the body is not one part, but many. 15 If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason [n]any less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason [o]any less a part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But now God has (AC)arranged the parts, each one of them in the body, (AD)just as He desired. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 But now (AE)there are many parts, but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again, the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On the contrary, [p]it is much truer that the parts of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary; 23 and those parts of the body which we [q]consider less honorable, [r]on these we bestow greater honor, and our less presentable parts become much more presentable, 24 whereas our more presentable parts have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked, 25 so that there may be no [s]division in the body, but that the parts may have the same care for one another. 26 And if one part of the body suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if a part is [t]honored, all the parts rejoice with it.
27 Now you are (AF)Christ’s body, and (AG)individually parts of it. 28 And God has [u](AH)appointed in (AI)the church, first (AJ)apostles, second (AK)prophets, third (AL)teachers, then [v](AM)miracles, then (AN)gifts of healings, helps, (AO)administrations, and various (AP)kinds of tongues. 29 All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of [w]miracles, are they? 30 All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not (AQ)interpret, do they? 31 But (AR)earnestly desire the greater gifts.
And yet, I am going to show you a far better way.

12 Now de concerning peri · ho spiritual gifts pneumatikos, brothers adelphos, I do not ou want thelō you hymeis to be uninformed agnoeō. 2 You know oida that hoti when hote you were eimi pagans ethnos you were agō somehow hōs seduced agō and led astray apagō to pros · ho idols eidōlon that ho could not speak aphōnos. 3 Therefore dio I want you hymeis to understand gnōrizō that hoti no one oudeis speaking laleō by en the Spirit pneuma of God theos says legō, “ Jesus Iēsous is accursed anathema!” and kai no one oudeis can dynamai say legō, “ Jesus Iēsous is Lord kyrios,” except ei mē by en the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma.
4 Now de there are eimi different diairesis kinds of gifts charisma, but de the ho same autos Spirit pneuma; 5 and kai there are eimi different kinds diairesis of ministries diakonia, but kai the ho same autos Lord kyrios; 6 and kai there are eimi different diairesis accomplishments energēma, but de it is the ho same autos God theos who ho produces energeō · ho all pas of them in en everyone pas. 7 But de the ho manifestation phanerōsis of the ho Spirit pneuma is given didōmi to each hekastos one for pros the ho good of all sympherō. 8 For gar to one hos is given didōmi through dia the ho Spirit pneuma a message logos of wisdom sophia, to another allos · de a message logos of knowledge gnōsis according kata to the ho same autos Spirit pneuma, 9 to another heteros faith pistis by en the ho same autos Spirit pneuma, to another allos · de gifts charisma of healing iama by en the ho one heis Spirit pneuma, 10 to another allos · de performance energēma of miracles dynamis, to another allos · de prophecy prophēteia, to another allos · de discerning diakrisis of spirits pneuma, to another heteros various kinds genos of tongues glōssa, and de to another allos interpretation hermēneia of tongues glōssa. 11 But de it is the ho one heis and kai · ho same autos Spirit pneuma, distributing diaireō to each idios as kathōs he determines boulomai, who produces energeō all pas these things houtos.
12 For gar just as kathaper the ho physical body sōma is eimi one heis yet kai has echō many polys members melos, and de all pas the ho members melos of the ho body sōma, though eimi many polys, are eimi one heis body sōma, so houtōs also kai is the ho body of Christ Christos. 13 · kai For gar in en one heis Spirit pneuma we hēmeis were baptizō all pas baptized baptizō into eis one heis body sōma, whether eite Jews Ioudaios or eite Greeks Hellēn, slaves or eite free eleutheros, and kai we were potizō all pas imbued with potizō one heis Spirit pneuma.
14 For gar indeed kai the ho body sōma is eimi not ou a single heis member melos, but alla many polys. 15 If ean the ho foot pous should say legō, “ Since hoti I am eimi not ou a hand cheir, I am eimi not ou part of ek the ho body sōma,” it would not ou for para that houtos reason cease ou to be eimi part of ek the ho body sōma. 16 And kai if ean the ho ear ous should say legō, “ Since hoti I am eimi not ou an eye ophthalmos, I am eimi not ou part of ek the ho body sōma,” it would not ou for para that houtos reason cease ou to be eimi part of ek the ho body sōma. 17 If ei the ho whole holos body sōma were an eye ophthalmos, where pou would the ho sense of hearing akoē be? If ei the whole holos body were an ear akoē, where pou would the ho sense of smell osphrēsis be? 18 But de as it is nyni, · ho God theos arranged tithēmi the ho members melos in en the ho body sōma, every hekastos one heis of them autos, just as kathōs he chose thelō. 19 If ei · de they were eimi · ho all pas a single heis member melos, where pou would the ho body sōma be? 20 But de as it is nyn, there are many polys members melos, but de one heis body sōma. 21 The ho eye ophthalmos cannot ou dynamai · de say legō to the ho hand cheir, “ I have echō no ou need chreia of you sy”; nor ē again palin the ho head kephalē to the ho feet pous, “ I have echō no ou need chreia of you hymeis.” 22 Quite polys the contrary alla, those ho members melos of the ho body sōma that seem dokeō to be hyparchō weaker asthenēs are eimi indispensable anankaios, 23 and kai those members houtos of the ho body sōma that hos we consider dokeō less honorable atimos we clothe with peritithēmi greater perissoteros honor timē, and kai · ho our hēmeis unpresentable aschēmōn members are treated with echō greater perissoteros modesty euschēmosynē, 24 · ho whereas de our hēmeis presentable members euschēmōn have echō no ou such need chreia. Instead alla, · ho God theos has so arranged synkerannymi the ho body sōma, giving didōmi greater perissoteros honor timē to the ho member that lacked hystereō it, 25 so that hina there would be eimi no mē division schisma in en the ho body sōma, but alla that the ho members melos would have merimnaō the ho same autos care merimnaō for hyper one allēlōn another . 26 And kai if eite one heis member melos suffers paschō, every pas member melos suffers sympaschō with it; · ho if eite one heis member melos is honored doxazō, every pas member melos rejoices synchairō with it. · ho
27 Now de you hymeis are eimi Christ’ s Christos body sōma and kai each of you is a member melos of ek it meros. 28 And kai God theos has appointed tithēmi · ho in en the ho church ekklēsia first prōton apostles apostolos, second deuteros prophets prophētēs, third triton teachers didaskalos, then epeita miracles dynamis, then epeita gifts charisma of healing iama, those able to help antilēmpsis others , those who can provide guidance kybernēsis, and various kinds genos of tongues glōssa. 29 Not mē all pas are apostles apostolos, are they? Not mē all pas are prophets prophētēs, are they? Not mē all pas are teachers didaskalos, are they? Not mē all pas work miracles dynamis, do they? 30 Not mē all pas have echō gifts charisma of healing iama, do they? Not mē all pas speak laleō in tongues glōssa, do they? Not mē all pas are able to interpret diermēneuō, are they? 31 Set your hearts zēloō then de on the ho higher megas gifts charisma. · ho And kai now eti I will show deiknymi you hymeis a way hodos that is beyond kata comparison hyperbolē.
