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.

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

²⁷ Now you are ^(A)Christ’s body, and ^(B)individually parts of it. ²⁸ And God has ^[a](C)appointed in ^(D)the church, first ^(E)apostles, second ^(F)prophets, third ^(G)teachers, then ^[b](H)miracles, then ^(I)gifts of healings, helps, ^(J)administrations, and various ^(K)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 ^[c]miracles, are they? ³⁰ All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not ^(L)interpret, do they? ³¹ But ^(M)earnestly desire the greater gifts.

And yet, I am going to show you a far better way.
