1 Corinthians 12
New Matthew Bible
The diversity of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which are given for the comfort and edifying of one another, as the members of a person’s body serve one another.
12 In spiritual things, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2 You know that you were Gentiles, and went your ways to dumb idols even as you were led. 3 Therefore I tell you that no one speaking in the Spirit of God repudiates Jesus. Also, no one can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.
4 There are different gifts indeed, yet but one Spirit. 5 And there are different offices, and yet but one Lord. 6 And there are different works, and yet but one God, who works all things that are wrought in all creatures. 7 The gifts of the Spirit are given to each person to profit the congregation. 8 To one is given, through the Spirit, the utterance of wisdom. To another is given the utterance of knowledge by the same Spirit. 9 To another is given faith by the same Spirit, to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit, 10 to another power to do miracles, to another prophecy, to another judgment of spirits, to another divers tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 And the very same Spirit works all these, giving to each person particular gifts as he so wills.
12 For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of a body, though they be many, yet are but one body, even so is Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we are all baptized to make one body – whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free – and we have all drunk of one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot were to say, I am not the hand, therefore I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear said, I am not the eye, therefore I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? 17 If all the body were an eye, where would the ear be? If all were hearing, where would the smelling be? 18 But now God has set the members, every one of them, in the body at his own pleasure. 19 If they were all one member, where would the body be?
20 Now there are many members, and yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you; nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Yea rather, to a great extent those members of the body that seem to be most feeble, are most necessary. 23 And those members of the body that we think least presentable, we clothe with more respectability, and our unattractive parts with more beauty. 24 For our respectable members do not need it. But God has thus disposed the body, and has given more honour to that part which lacked, 25 lest there should be any schism in the body, but so that the members will care impartially for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all suffer with him; if one member is had in honour, all members are glad also. 27 You are the body of Christ, and members of one another.
28 And God has also set in the congregation, first the apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, then those who do miracles; after that are the gifts of healing, helpers, managers, diversity of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have the gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 Covet the best gifts. And yet, I show you a more excellent way.

Maori Bible
12 Na mo nga mea wairua, e oku teina, kahore ahau e pai kia kuware koutou.
2 E matau ana koutou, i a koutou e Tauiwi ana, he mea kahaki koutou ki nga whakapakoko reokore, me koutou i kahakina ra.
3 Koia ahau ka whakakite nei ki a koutou, e kore tetahi tangata, na te Wairua nei o te Atua ana korero, e ki, He mea kanga a Ihu: e kore ano e taea e tetahi te mea, Ko Ihu te Ariki, ki te kahore te Wairua Tapu.
4 Na, he maha nga wehewehenga o nga mea e homai ana, kotahi ano ia Wairua.
5 A he maha nga wehewehenga o nga minitatanga, kotahi ano ia Ariki.
6 He maha ano hoki nga tu ahua o nga mahi; kotahi ano ia Atua hei mahi i nga mea katoa i roto i te katoa.
7 Otira e homai ana ki tena, ki tena, te whakakitenga a te Wairua hei pai.
8 E homai ana hoki ki tetahi e te Wairua te kupu whakaaro; ki tetahi atu ko te kupu matau, he mea na taua Wairua ano;
9 Ki tetahi atu ko te whakapono, na taua Wairua ra ano; ki tetahi atu ko nga mana whakaora, na taua Wairua ano:
10 Ki tetahi atu ko nga mahi merekara; ki tetahi atu ko te mahi poropiti; ki tetahi atu ko te matauranga ki nga wairua; ki tetahi atu ko nga reo huhua; ki tetahi atu ko te whakamaoritanga i nga reo:
11 Na, ko enei mea katoa, he mea mahi na taua Wairua kotahi ra ano, ko ia hei tuwha i tana e pai ai ki tetahi, ki tetahi.
12 Pera hoki i te tinana e kotahi ana, he tini ano ona wahi, a ko nga wahi katoa o taua tinana kotahi, ahakoa tini, kotahi ano tinana; he pera hoki a te Karaiti.
13 Kotahi nei hoki te Wairua i iriiria ai tatou katoa ki roto ki te tinana kotahi, ahakoa nga Hurai, ahakoa nga Kariki, ahakoa herehere, ahakoa rangatira; kotahi tonu te Wairua i whakainumia mai ai tatou katoa.
14 Ehara hoki te tinana i te wahi kotahi, engari he tini.
15 Ki te mea te waewae, He teka no te tinana ahau, ehara hoki ahau i te ringa; ehara ma tena e kahore ai ia hei wahi mo te tinana.
16 Ki te mea te taringa, He teka no te tinana ahau, ehara hoki ahau i te kanohi; ehara ma tena e kahore ai ia hei wahi mo te tinana.
17 Mehemea hoki he kanohi te tinana katoa, kei hea te wahi hei whakarongo? Mehemea he whakarongo ta te katoa, kei hea te wahi hei hongi?
18 Ko tenei, kua oti i te Atua te whakanoho tenei wahi, tenei wahi, ki roto ki te tinana, ana hoki i pai ai.
19 Mehemea hoki kotahi ano wahi ratou katoa, kei hea te tinana?
20 Ko tenei, he tini nga wahi, kotahi ano te tinana.
21 E kore hoki te kanohi e ahei te mea ki te ringa, Kahore aku mahi mau: te mahunga ranei ki nga waewae, Kahore aku mahi ma korua.
22 Engari, ko nga wahi o te tinana e kiia ana he ngoikore, nui rawa te mahi ma era;
23 Ko nga wahi hoki o te tinana e kiia ana e tatou he iti te honore, nui atu te honore e whakataua iho ana e tatou ki era; nui atu hoki te ataahua ki o tatou wahi marutuna;
24 Ko o tatou wahi ataahua ia kahore he aha e meatia ai; heoi he mea huihui marire na te Atua nga wahi o te tinana, he mea whakarite marie, nui atu hoki te honore i hoatu e ia ki te wahi i hapa:
25 Kia kore ai he wehewehenga o te tinana; engari kia kotahi tonu te whakaaro o nga wahi mo tetahi, mo tetahi.
26 A ki te mamae tetahi wahi, mamae tahi ana nga wahi katoa; ki te whakahonoretia tetahi wahi, hari tahi ana nga wahi katoa.
27 Na, ko koutou te tinana o te Karaiti, he wahi ano nona tenei, tenei.
28 A kua whakanohoia e te Atua etahi i roto i te hahi, ko nga apotoro ki mua, tuarua ko nga poropiti, tuatoru ko nga kaiwhakaako, muri iho ko nga merekara, me i reira ko nga mana whakaora, ki nga hoa mahi, ko nga kaiwhakahaere tikanga, ko nga reo h uhua.
29 He apotoro oti katoa? he poropiti oti katoa? he kaiwhakaako katoa? he kaimahi katoa i te merekara?
30 Kei te katoa oti nga mana whakaora? e korero katoa ana oti i nga reo? he kaiwhakamaori anake ranei?
31 Na, whaia nga mea homai papai rawa: tenei ia te ara tino pai rawa, maku e whakaatu ki a koutou.
1 Corinthians 12
King James Version
12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
3 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.
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 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.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.
25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
