Tungkol sa mga Kaloob na Espirituwal

12 Ngayon naman, mga kapatid, nais kong malaman ninyo ang tungkol sa mga kaloob na espirituwal. Alam ninyo na noong mga pagano pa kayo, iniligaw kayo sa mga piping diyus-diyosan. Nais ko ngang maunawaan ninyo na walang nagsasalita sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu ng Diyos na nagsasabi, “Sumpain si Jesus!” at walang makapagsasabi, “Si Jesus ay Panginoon,” maliban sa patnubay ng Banal na Espiritu.

May (A) iba't ibang uri ng mga kaloob, ngunit mula sa iisang Espiritu. At may iba't ibang uri ng paglilingkod, ngunit mula sa iisang Panginoon. May iba't ibang uri ng gawain, ngunit mula sa iisang Diyos na gumagawa ng lahat ng bagay sa lahat. Ngunit ibinigay sa bawat isa ang kapahayagan ng Espiritu para sa kapakinabangan ng lahat. May binigyan ng salita ng karunungan sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu, at ang iba nama'y binigyan ng salita ng kaalaman ayon sa gayunding Espiritu; ang iba'y pananampalataya sa pamamagitan ng gayunding Espiritu, at ang iba'y mga kaloob ng pagpapagaling sa pamamagitan ng iisang Espiritu. 10 Ang iba'y binigyan ng kapangyarihang gumawa ng mga himala, ang iba'y propesiya, ang iba'y kakayahang kumilala ng mga espiritu, ang iba'y kakayahang magsalita ng iba't ibang wika, at ang iba nama'y pagpapaliwanag ng mga wika. 11 Ngunit ang lahat ng ito ay pinakikilos ng iisa at parehong Espiritu, na namamahagi sa bawat isa ayon sa ninanais ng Espiritu.

Iisang Katawan, Maraming Bahagi

12 Sapagkat (B) kung paanong iisa ang katawan at marami ang mga bahagi, at ang lahat ng bahagi ng katawan, bagama't marami ay iisang katawan, gayundin naman kay Cristo. 13 Sapagkat sa pamamagitan ng iisang Espiritu ay binautismuhan tayong lahat tungo sa iisang katawan, maging Judio o Griyego, alipin o malaya—at tayong lahat ay pinainom sa isang Espiritu. 14 Sapagkat ang katawan ay hindi binubuo ng iisang bahagi, kundi ng marami. 15 Kung sasabihin ng paa, “Sapagkat hindi ako kamay, hindi ako kabilang sa katawan,” hindi na nga ba ito bahagi ng katawan? 16 At kung sasabihin ng tainga, “Sapagkat hindi ako mata, hindi ako kabilang sa katawan,” hindi na nga ba ito bahagi ng katawan? 17 Kung ang buong katawan ay mata, saan naroroon ang pandinig? Kung ang lahat ay pandinig, saan naroroon ang pang-amoy? 18 Inilagay ng Diyos ang mga bahagi ng katawan, ang bawat isa sa kanila ayon sa kanyang kagustuhan. 19 At kung ang lahat ay isang bahagi, nasaan pa ang katawan? 20 Maraming mga bahagi ngunit iisa ang katawan. 21 Ang mata ay hindi makapagsasabi sa kamay, “Hindi kita kailangan,” at hindi rin makapagsasabi ang ulo sa mga paa, “Hindi ko kayo kailangan.” 22 Sa halip, ang mga bahagi ng katawan na sa tingin natin ay mahihina ay silang kailangan. 23 Ang mga bahagi ng katawan na sa tingin natin ay walang karangalan, ay pinag-uukulan natin ng ibayong karangalan, at ang mga kahiya-hiyang bahagi natin ang lalong pinararangalan— 24 na hindi naman kailangan ng mga bahagi nating higit na magaganda. Subalit ang Diyos ang bumuo ng katawan sa paraang mabibigyan ng ibayong kapurihan ang bahaging may kakulangan. 25 Ito'y upang huwag magkaroon ng pagkakahati-hati sa katawan, kundi ang mga bahagi ay magkaroon ng parehong pagmamalasakit sa isa't isa. 26 Kapag naghihirap ang isang bahagi, lahat ay naghihirap na kasama niya; o kapag ang isang bahagi ay pinararangalan, sama-samang natutuwa ang mga bahagi.

27 Kayo nga ang katawan ni Cristo, at ang bawat isa'y bahagi nito. 28 At (C) ang Diyos ay naglagay sa iglesya, una, ng mga apostol, ikalawa, ng mga propeta, ikatlo, ng mga guro, at ng mga himala, at mga kaloob ng pagpapagaling, mga pagtulong, mga kakayahan sa pamumuno, at iba't ibang uri ng wika. 29 Lahat ba'y mga apostol? Lahat ba'y mga propeta? Lahat ba'y mga guro? Lahat ba'y mga manggagawa ng mga himala? 30 Lahat ba'y may mga kaloob ng pagpapagaling? Lahat ba'y nagsasalita ng iba't ibang wika? Lahat ba'y nagpapaliwanag? 31 Ngunit pakamithiin ninyo ang mga mas dakilang kaloob.

At ngayon ay ipapakita ko sa inyo ang walang kapantay na daan.

Concerning Spiritual Gifts

12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant. You know that when you were unbelievers,[a] you were enticed and led astray to worship[b] idols that couldn’t even speak. For this reason I want you to be aware that no one who is speaking by God’s Spirit can say, “Jesus is cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit, and there are varieties of ministries, but the same Lord. There are varieties of results, but it is the same God who produces all the results in everyone.

To each person has been given the ability to manifest the Spirit for the common good. To one has been given a message of wisdom by the Spirit; to another the ability to speak with knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit; 10 to another miraculous results; to another prophecy; to another the ability to distinguish between spirits; to another various kinds of languages; and to another the interpretation of languages. 11 But one and the same Spirit produces all these results and gives what he wants to each person.

The Unity and Diversity of Spiritual Gifts

12 For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, form a single body, so it is with the Messiah.[c] 13 For by[d] one Spirit all of us—Jews and Greeks, slaves and free—were baptized into one body and were all privileged to drink from one Spirit.

14 For the body does not consist of only one part, but of many. 15 If the foot says, “Since I’m not a hand, I’m not part of the body,” that does not make it any less a part of the body, does it? 16 And if the ear says, “Since I’m not an eye, I’m not part of the body,” that does not make it any less a part of the body, does it? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body[e] were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But now God has arranged the parts, every one of them, in the body according to his plan.[f] 19 Now if all of it were one part, there wouldn’t be a body, would there? 20 So there are many parts, but one body.

21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you,” or the head to the feet, “I don’t need you.” 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are in fact indispensable, 23 and the parts of the body that we think are less honorable are treated with special honor, and we make our less attractive parts more attractive. 24 However, our attractive parts don’t need this. But God has put the body together and has given special honor to the parts that lack it, 25 so that there might be no disharmony in the body, but that its parts should have the same concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it. If one part is praised, every part rejoices with it.

27 Now you are the Messiah’s[g] body and individual parts of it. 28 God has appointed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then those who perform miracles, those who have gifts of healing, those who help others, administrators, and those who speak[h] various kinds of languages. 29 Not all are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they? Not all are teachers, are they? Not all perform miracles, do they? 30 Not all have the gift of healing, do they? Not all speak in foreign[i] languages, do they? Not all interpret, do they? 31 Keep on desiring[j] the better gifts. And now I will show you the best way of all.

12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

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.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

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.
