1 Corinthians 12:7-12

International Children’s Bible

⁷ Something from the Spirit can be seen in each person, to help everyone. ⁸ The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak with wisdom. And the same Spirit gives another the ability to speak with knowledge. ⁹ The same Spirit gives faith to one person. And that one Spirit gives another gifts of healing. ¹⁰ The Spirit gives to another person the power to do miracles, to another the ability to prophesy. And he gives to another the ability to know the difference between good and evil spirits. The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak in different kinds of languages and to another the ability to interpret those languages. ¹¹ One Spirit, the same Spirit, does all these things. The Spirit decides what to give each person.

The Body of Christ

¹² A person’s body is one thing, but it has many parts. Yes, there are many parts to a body, but all those parts make only one body. Christ is like that too.
