Mga Kaloob ng Espiritu Santo
12 Mga kapatid, ngayon, tungkol naman sa mga kaloob ng Espiritu Santo, nais kong magkaroon kayo ng wastong kaalaman. 2 Alam ninyo na noong hindi pa kayo sumasampalataya, kayo'y nailigaw sa mga diyus-diyosan na hindi naman nakakapagsalita. 3 Kaya't nais kong malaman ninyo na walang taong pinapatnubayan ng Espiritu ng Diyos ang magsasabing, “Sumpain si Jesus!” At hindi rin masasabi ninuman, “Si Jesus ay Panginoon,” kung siya'y hindi pinapatnubayan ng Espiritu Santo.
4 Iba't(A) iba ang mga espirituwal na kaloob, ngunit iisa lamang ang Espiritung nagkakaloob ng mga ito. 5 Iba't iba ang paraan ng paglilingkod, ngunit iisa lamang ang Panginoong pinaglilingkuran. 6 Iba't iba ang mga gawain, ngunit iisa lamang ang Diyos na kumikilos sa mga taong gumagawa ng mga iyon. 7 Para sa ikabubuti ng lahat, ang bawat isa'y binibigyan ng patunay na nagpapakitang nasa kanya ang Espiritu. 8 Ang ilan sa atin ay napagkalooban ng kakayahang magsalita ng mensahe ng karunungan. Ang iba naman ay pinagkalooban ng kaalaman. Subalit iisang Espiritu ang nagkakaloob nito. 9 Ang Espiritu ring iyon ang nagkakaloob sa iba ng pananampalataya sa Diyos, at sa iba'y ang kapangyarihang magpagaling sa mga maysakit. 10 May pinagkakalooban ng kapangyarihang gumawa ng mga himala; sa iba naman ay kakayahang magpahayag ng mensaheng mula sa Diyos, at sa iba ay kakayahang kumilala kung aling kaloob ang mula sa Espiritu at kung alin ang hindi. May pinagkakalooban ng kakayahang magsalita sa iba't ibang mga wika, at sa iba naman ay ang magpaliwanag ng mga wikang iyon. 11 Ngunit isang Espiritu lamang ang gumagawa ng lahat ng ito at namamahagi ng iba't ibang kaloob sa bawat isa, ayon sa kanyang ipinasya.
Iisang Katawan Ngunit Maraming Bahagi
12 Si(B) Cristo'y tulad ng isang katawan na may maraming bahagi. Kahit na binubuo ng iba't ibang bahagi, ito ay nananatiling iisang katawan. 13 Maging Judio o Hentil, alipin man o malaya, tayong lahat ay binautismuhan sa pamamagitan ng iisang Espiritu upang maging isang katawan. Tayong lahat ay pinainom sa iisang Espiritu.
14 Ang katawan ay binubuo ng maraming bahagi at hindi ng iisang bahagi lamang. 15 Kung sasabihin ng paa, “Hindi ako kamay kaya't hindi ako bahagi ng katawan,” hindi na nga ba ito bahagi ng katawan? 16 Kung sasabihin ng tainga, “Hindi ako mata, kaya't hindi ako bahagi ng katawan,” hindi na nga ba ito bahagi ng katawan? 17 Kung puro mata lamang ang buong katawan, paano ito makakarinig? Kung puro tainga lamang ang buong katawan, paano ito makakaamoy? 18 Subalit inilagay ng Diyos ang bawat bahagi ng katawan ayon sa kanyang kalooban. 19 Kung ang lahat ng bahagi ay pare-pareho, hindi iyan maituturing na katawan. 20 Ngunit ang totoo'y marami ang mga bahagi, ngunit iisa lamang ang katawan.
21 Hindi rin naman masasabi ng mata sa kamay, “Hindi kita kailangan,” ni ng ulo, sa mga paa, “Hindi ko kayo kailangan.” 22 Sa katunayan, ang mga bahaging parang mahihina ang siya pa ngang kailangang kailangan. 23 Ang mga bahagi ng katawan na inaakala nating hindi gaanong kapuri-puri ay pinag-uukulan ng higit na pagpapahalaga. Ang mga bahaging hindi likas na maganda ang siya nating higit na pinapahalagahan. 24 Hindi na ito kailangang gawin sa mga bahaging sadyang maganda. Ngunit nang isaayos ng Diyos ang katawan, binigyan niya ng higit na karangalan ang mga bahaging hindi gaanong marangal, 25 upang hindi magkaroon ng pagkakabaha-bahagi, sa halip ay magmalasakit ang bawat bahagi sa isa't isa. 26 Kung nasasaktan ang isang bahagi, nasasaktan ang lahat; kung pinaparangalan ang isang bahagi, nagagalak ang lahat.
27 Kayo ngang lahat ang iisang katawan ni Cristo, at bawat isa sa inyo ay bahagi nito. 28 Naglagay(C) ang Diyos sa iglesya, una, ng mga apostol; ikalawa, ng mga propeta; at ikatlo, ng mga guro. Naglagay rin siya ng mga gumagawa ng mga himala, mga nagpapagaling ng mga maysakit, mga tagatulong, mga tagapangasiwa, at mga nagsasalita sa iba't ibang mga wika. 29 Hindi lahat ay apostol, propeta o guro; hindi lahat ay binigyan ng kakayahang gumawa ng mga himala, 30 magpagaling ng mga maysakit, magsalita sa iba't ibang mga wika o magpaliwanag ng mga wikang ito. 31 Ngunit buong sikap ninyong hangarín ang mga kaloob na mas dakila.
At ngayo'y ituturo ko sa inyo ang landas na pinakamabuti sa lahat.

Spiritual Gifts
12 Now (A)concerning[a] spiritual gifts,[b] brothers,[c] I do not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that (B)when you were pagans (C)you were led astray to (D)mute idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I want you to understand that (E)no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is (F)accursed!” and (G)no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.
4 Now (H)there are varieties of gifts, but (I)the same Spirit; 5 and (J)there are varieties of service, but (K)the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is (L)the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 (M)To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of (N)wisdom, and to another the utterance of (O)knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another (P)faith by the same Spirit, to another (Q)gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another (R)the working of miracles, to another (S)prophecy, to another (T)the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another (U)various kinds of tongues, to another (V)the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, (W)who apportions to each one individually (X)as he wills.
One Body with Many Members
12 For just as (Y)the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, (Z)so it is with Christ. 13 For (AA)in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—(AB)Jews or Greeks, slaves[d] or free—and (AC)all were made to drink of one Spirit.
14 For the body does not consist of one member but of many. 15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? 18 But as it is, (AD)God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, (AE)as he chose. 19 If all were a single member, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts,[e] yet one body.
21 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 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, (AF)all rejoice together.
27 Now (AG)you are the body of Christ and individually (AH)members of it. 28 And (AI)God has appointed in the church first (AJ)apostles, second (AK)prophets, third teachers, then (AL)miracles, then (AM)gifts of healing, (AN)helping, (AO)administrating, and (AP)various kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But (AQ)earnestly desire the higher gifts.
And I will show you a still more excellent way.

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.

The Use of Spiritual Gifts
12 Now concerning (A)spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, (B)I do not want you to be unaware. 2 (C)You know that when you were [a]pagans, you were (D)led [b]astray to the (E)mute idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking [c](F)by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is [d](G)accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is (H)Lord,” except [e](I)by the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there are (J)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 (K)God who works all things in all persons. 7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit (L)for the common good. 8 For to one is given the word of (M)wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of (N)knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9 to another (O)faith [f]by the same Spirit, and to another (P)gifts of [g]healing [h]by the one Spirit, 10 and to another the [i]effecting of [j](Q)miracles, and to another (R)prophecy, and to another the [k](S)distinguishing of spirits, to another various (T)kinds of tongues, and to another the (U)interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, (V)distributing to each one individually just as He [l]wills.
12 For just (W)as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though they are many, are one body, (X)so also is Christ. 13 For [m](Y)by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether (Z)Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to (AA)drink of one Spirit.
14 For (AB)the body is not one part, but many. 15 If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason [n]any less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason [o]any less a part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But now God has (AC)arranged the parts, each one of them in the body, (AD)just as He desired. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 But now (AE)there are many parts, but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again, the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On the contrary, [p]it is much truer that the parts of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary; 23 and those parts of the body which we [q]consider less honorable, [r]on these we bestow greater honor, and our less presentable parts become much more presentable, 24 whereas our more presentable parts have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked, 25 so that there may be no [s]division in the body, but that the parts may have the same care for one another. 26 And if one part of the body suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if a part is [t]honored, all the parts rejoice with it.
27 Now you are (AF)Christ’s body, and (AG)individually parts of it. 28 And God has [u](AH)appointed in (AI)the church, first (AJ)apostles, second (AK)prophets, third (AL)teachers, then [v](AM)miracles, then (AN)gifts of healings, helps, (AO)administrations, and various (AP)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 [w]miracles, are they? 30 All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not (AQ)interpret, do they? 31 But (AR)earnestly desire the greater gifts.
And yet, I am going to show you a far better way.
