1 Corintios 12
La Biblia de las Américas
Los dones espirituales
12 En cuanto a los dones espirituales(A), no quiero, hermanos, que seáis ignorantes(B). 2 Sabéis que cuando erais paganos[a](C), de una manera u otra erais arrastrados hacia los ídolos mudos(D). 3 Por tanto, os hago saber que nadie hablando por[b] el Espíritu de Dios, dice: Jesús es anatema[c](E); y nadie puede decir: Jesús es el Señor(F), excepto por[d] el Espíritu Santo(G).
Diversidad y unidad de los dones
4 Ahora bien, hay diversidad de dones, pero el Espíritu es el mismo(H). 5 Y hay diversidad de ministerios, pero el Señor es el mismo. 6 Y hay diversidad de operaciones, pero es el mismo Dios el que hace todas las cosas en todos(I). 7 Pero a cada uno se le da la manifestación del Espíritu para el bien común(J). 8 Pues a uno le es dada palabra de sabiduría(K) por el Espíritu; a otro, palabra de conocimiento(L) según el mismo Espíritu; 9 a otro, fe(M) por[e] el mismo Espíritu; a otro, dones de sanidad[f](N) por[g] el único Espíritu; 10 a otro, poder de milagros[h](O); a otro, profecía(P); a otro, discernimiento[i] de espíritus(Q); a otro, diversas clases de lenguas(R), y a otro, interpretación de lenguas(S). 11 Pero todas estas cosas las hace uno y el mismo Espíritu, distribuyendo individualmente a cada uno según la voluntad de Él(T).
La iglesia, cuerpo de Cristo
12 Porque así como el cuerpo es uno, y tiene muchos miembros, pero todos los miembros del cuerpo, aunque son muchos, constituyen un solo cuerpo(U), así también es Cristo(V). 13 Pues por[j] un mismo Espíritu(W) todos fuimos bautizados en un solo cuerpo, ya judíos o griegos, ya esclavos o libres(X), y a todos se nos dio a beber[k] del mismo Espíritu(Y). 14 Porque el cuerpo no es un solo miembro, sino muchos(Z). 15 Si el pie dijera: Porque no soy mano, no soy parte del cuerpo, no por eso deja de ser parte del cuerpo. 16 Y si el oído dijera: Porque no soy ojo, no soy parte del cuerpo, no por eso deja de ser parte del cuerpo. 17 Si todo el cuerpo fuera ojo, ¿qué sería del[l] oído? Si todo fuera oído, ¿qué sería del[m] olfato? 18 Ahora bien, Dios ha colocado(AA) a cada uno de los miembros[n] en el cuerpo según le agradó(AB). 19 Y si todos fueran un solo miembro, ¿qué sería del[o] cuerpo? 20 Sin embargo, hay muchos miembros, pero un solo cuerpo(AC). 21 Y el ojo no puede decir a la mano: No te necesito; ni tampoco la cabeza a los pies: No os necesito. 22 Por el contrario, la verdad es que los miembros[p] del cuerpo que parecen ser los más débiles, son los más necesarios; 23 y las partes del cuerpo que estimamos[q] menos honrosas, a estas las vestimos con[r] más honra; de manera que las partes que consideramos más íntimas[s], reciben un trato más honroso, 24 ya que nuestras partes presentables no lo necesitan. Mas así formó[t] Dios el cuerpo, dando mayor honra a la parte que carecía de ella, 25 a fin de que en el cuerpo no haya división[u], sino que los miembros tengan el mismo cuidado unos por otros. 26 Y si un miembro sufre, todos los miembros sufren con él; y si un miembro es honrado[v], todos los miembros se regocijan con él. 27 Ahora bien, vosotros sois el cuerpo de Cristo(AD), y cada uno individualmente un miembro de él(AE). 28 Y en la iglesia(AF), Dios ha designado[w](AG): primeramente, apóstoles(AH); en segundo lugar, profetas(AI); en tercer lugar, maestros(AJ); luego, milagros[x](AK); después, dones de sanidad[y](AL), ayudas, administraciones(AM), diversas clases de lenguas(AN). 29 ¿Acaso son todos apóstoles? ¿Acaso son todos profetas? ¿Acaso son todos maestros? ¿Acaso son todos obradores de milagros[z]? 30 ¿Acaso tienen todos dones de sanidad[aa]? ¿Acaso hablan todos en lenguas? ¿Acaso interpretan todos(AO)? 31 Mas desead ardientemente los mejores dones(AP).
Y aun yo os muestro un camino más excelente.

Concerning spiritual gifts
12 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to dumb idols. 3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, ‘Jesus be cursed,’ and no one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ except by the Holy Spirit.
4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, 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, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptised by[c] one Spirit so as to form one body – whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free – and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 And so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
15 Now if the foot should say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,’ it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,’ it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I don’t need you!’ And the head cannot say to the feet, ‘I don’t need you!’ 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honourable we treat with special honour. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honour to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 28 And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues[d]? Do all interpret? 31 Now eagerly desire the greater gifts.
Love is indispensable
And yet I will show you the most excellent way.
