1 Corinto 12
Ang Salita ng Diyos

Mga Kaloob na Espirituwal

12 Ngayon, mga kapatid, hindi ko ibig na kayo ay walang nalalaman patungkol sa mga kaloob na espirituwal.

2 Alam ninyo na kayong mga Gentil ay inakay patungo sa mga diyos-diyosang hindi nakakapagsalita. 3 Kaya nga, nais kong malaman ninyo ito. Walang sinumang tao na nagsasalita sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu ng Diyos ang nagsasabi: Sumpain si Jesus. Wala ring makakapagsabing si Jesus ay Panginoon maliban sa pamamagitan ng Banal na Espiritu.

4 May iba’t ibang uri ng kaloob ngunit iisa ang Espiritu. 5 May iba’t ibang uri ng paglilingkod ngunit iisa ang Pangi­noon. 6 May iba’t ibang uri ng gawain ngunit iisa ang Diyos na sa lahat ay gumagawa sa lahat ng bagay.

7 Ibinigay sa bawat isa ang kapahayagan ng Espiritu para sa kapakinabangan. 8 Ito ay sapagkat sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu, sa isa ay ibinigay ang salita ng karunungan. Sa isa ay ibinigay ang salita ng kaalaman sa pamamagitan ng iisang Espiritu. 9 Sa iba ay ibinigay ang pananampalataya at sa iba ay kaloob ng pagpapagaling sa pamamagitan ng iisang Espiritu. 10 Sa isa naman ay ibinigay ang paggawa ng mga himala at sa isa ay ang pagpapahayag. Sa isa ay ibinigay ang pagkilala sa mga espiritu at sa iba naman ay iba’t ibang uri ng wika. Sa iba naman ay ang pagpapaliwanag sa mga wika. 11 Gayunman, ang isa at siya ring Espiritu ang gumagawa sa lahat ng mga bagay na ito. Ibinabahaginiya ito sa bawat isa ayon sa kaniyang kalooban.

Isang Katawan, Maraming Bahagi

12 Ang katawan ay iisa ngunit maraming bahagi. Ang lahat ng bahagi ng isang katawan bagamat marami ay iisang katawan. Si Cristo ay gayundin.

13 Ito ay sapagkat sa pamama­gitan ng iisang Espiritu, tayo rin ngang lahat ay binawtismuhan sa iisang katawan kahit tayo ay Judio o Griyego, alipin o malaya. At tayo rin ay pinainom sa iisang Espiritu.

14 Ito ay sapagkat ang katawan ay hindi iisang bahagi kundi marami. 15 Ang paa ba ay hindi bahagi ng katawan kapag sinabi niya: Dahil hindi ako kamay, hindi ako kasama sa katawan. 16 Ang tainga ba ay hindi bahagi ng katawan kapag sinabi niya: Dahil hindi ako mata, hindi ako kasama sa katawan. 17 Kung ang buong katawan ay mata, paano ito makakarinig? Kung ang buong katawan ay pandinig, paano ito makakaamoy? 18 Ngunit ngayon, inilagay ng Diyos sa katawan ang bawat isang bahagi ayon sa kalooban niya. 19 Kapag ang lahat ng bahagi ay iisa lang, nasaan ang katawan? 20 Ngunit ngayon, marami ang bahagi ngunit iisa ang katawan.

21 Ang mata ay hindi makakapagsabi sa kamay: Hindi kita kailangan. Maging ang ulo ay hindi makakapagsabi sa paa: Hindi kita kailangan. 22 Subalit ang mga bahagi pa nga ng katawan na inaakalang mahihina ay siyang kinakailangan. 23 Binibigyan natin ng malaking karangalan ang mga bahagi ng katawan na inaakala nating hindi gaanong marangal. Ang mga hindi magagandang bahagi ay higit nating pinagaganda. 24 Ngunit ang magagandang bahagi ay hindi na kinakailangang pagandahin. Subalit maayos na pinagsama-sama ng Diyos ang katawan. Ang mga bahaging may kakulangan ay binigyan niya ng higit na karangalan. 25 Ito ay upang hindi magkaroon ng pagkakabaha-bahagi sa katawan at sa halip ay magmalasakitan sa isa’t isa ang lahat na bahagi. 26 Kaya nga, kung ang isang bahagi ay maghihirap, kasama niyang maghihirap ang lahat ng bahagi. Kung ang isang bahagi ay pararangalan, kasama niyang magagalak ang lahat ng bahagi.

27 Kayo nga ang katawan ni Cristo at ang bawat isa ay bahagi nito. 28 At itinalaga ng Diyos ang ilan sa iglesiya. Una ay ang mga apostol, pangalawaang mga propeta at pangatlo ang mga guro. Kasunod nito ang mga gumagawa ng himala, pagkatapos ay ang mga kaloob ng pagpapagaling at saka ang pagtulong. Inilagay din ang pamamahala at iba’t ibang uri ng wika. 29 Ang lahat ba ay mga apostol? Lahat ba ay mga propeta? Lahat ba ay mga guro? Ang lahat ba ay gumagawa ng mga himala? 30 Lahat ba ay may kaloob ng pagpapagaling? Lahat ba ay nagsasalita ng mga wika? Lahat ba ay nagpapa­liwanag ng mga wika? 31 Ngunit higit ninyong hangarin ang pinakamabuting kaloob.

Ipakikita ko sa inyo ang lalo pang higit na paraan.

1 Corinthians 12
New International Version

Concerning Spiritual Gifts

12 Now about the gifts of the Spirit,(A) brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.(B) 2 You know that when you were pagans,(C) somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.(D) 3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,”(E) and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,”(F) except by the Holy Spirit.(G)

4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit(H) 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(I) it is the same God(J) at work.

7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.(K) 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom,(L) to another a message of knowledge(M) by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith(N) by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing(O) by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers,(P) to another prophecy,(Q) to another distinguishing between spirits,(R) to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a](S) and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit,(T) 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,(U) so it is with Christ.(V) 13 For we were all baptized(W) by[c] one Spirit(X) so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free(Y)—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.(Z) 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.(AA)

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(AB) the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.(AC) 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.(AD)

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 honorable we treat with special honor. 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 honor 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 honored, every part rejoices with it.

27 Now you are the body of Christ,(AE) and each one of you is a part of it.(AF) 28 And God has placed in the church(AG) first of all apostles,(AH) second prophets,(AI) third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing,(AJ) of helping, of guidance,(AK) and of different kinds of tongues.(AL) 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]?(AM) Do all interpret? 31 Now eagerly desire(AN) the greater gifts.

Love Is Indispensable

And yet I will show you the most excellent way.

Spiritual Gifts

12 With regard to spiritual gifts,[a] brothers and sisters,[b] I do not want you to be uninformed.[c] 2 You know that when you were pagans you were often led astray by speechless idols, however you were led. 3 So I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

4 Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are different ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are different results, but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. 7 To each person the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the benefit of all. 8 For one person is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, and another the message of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another performance of miracles, to another prophecy, and to another discernment of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 It is one and the same Spirit, distributing as he decides to each person, who produces all these things.

Different Members in One Body

12 For just as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body—though many—are one body, so too is Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Whether Jews or Greeks or slaves[d] or free, we were all made to drink of the one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not a single member, but many. 15 If the foot says, “Since I am not a hand, I am not part of the body,” it does not lose its membership in the body because of that. 16 And if the ear says, “Since I am not an eye, I am not part of the body,” it does not lose its membership in the body because of that. 17 If the whole body were an eye, what part would do the hearing? If the whole were an ear, what part would exercise the sense of smell? 18 But as a matter of fact, God has placed each of the members in the body just as he decided. 19 If they were all the same member, where would the body be? 20 So now there are many members, but one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you,” nor in turn can the head say to the foot, “I do not need you.” 22 On the contrary, those members that seem to be weaker are essential, 23 and those members we consider less honorable we clothe with greater honor, and our unpresentable members are clothed with dignity,[e] 24 but our presentable members do not need this. Instead, God has blended together the body, giving greater honor to the lesser member, 25 so that there may be no division in the body, but the members may have mutual concern for one another. 26 If one member suffers, everyone suffers with it. If a[f] member is honored, all rejoice with it.

27 Now you are Christ’s body, and each of you is a member of it. 28 And God has placed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, gifts of healing, helps, gifts of leadership, different kinds of tongues. 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 gifts of healing, do they? Not all speak in tongues, do they? Not all interpret, do they?[g] 31 But you should be eager for the greater gifts.

And now I will show you a way that is beyond comparison.[h]

The addition of ἕν appears to be motivated by its presence earlier in the verse with μέλος and the parallel structure of the two conditional clauses in this verse, while little reason can be given for its absence (although accidental oversight is of course possible, it is not likely that all these witnesses should have overlooked it).

C. Spiritual Gifts[a]

Chapter 12

Unity and Variety. 1 Now in regard to spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be unaware. 2 [b]You know how, when you were pagans, you were constantly attracted and led away to mute idols.(A) 3 Therefore, I tell you that nobody speaking by the spirit of God says, “Jesus be accursed.” And no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the holy Spirit.(B)

4 [c]There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit;(C) 5 there are different forms of service but the same Lord; 6 there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. 7 To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit. 8 To one is given through the Spirit the expression of wisdom; to another the expression of knowledge according to the same Spirit;(D) 9 to another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit; 10 to another mighty deeds; to another prophecy; to another discernment of spirits; to another varieties of tongues; to another interpretation of tongues.(E) 11 But one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing them individually to each person as he wishes.(F)

One Body, Many Parts.[d] 12 As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ.(G) 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit.(H)

14 Now the body is not a single part, but many. 15 If a foot should say, “Because I am not a hand I do not belong to the body,” it does not for this reason belong any less to the body. 16 Or if an ear should say, “Because I am not an eye I do not belong to the body,” it does not for this reason belong any less to 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 as it is, God placed the parts, each one of them, in the body as he intended. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 But as it is, there are many parts, yet one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I do not need you.” 22 Indeed, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are all the more necessary, 23 and those parts of the body that we consider less honorable we surround with greater honor, and our less presentable parts are treated with greater propriety, 24 whereas our more presentable parts do not need this. But God has so constructed the body as to give greater honor to a part that is without it, 25 so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same concern for one another. 26 If [one] part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part is honored, all the parts share its joy.

Application to Christ.[e] 27 Now you are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it.(I) 28 Some people God has designated in the church to be, first, apostles;[f] second, prophets; third, teachers; then, mighty deeds; then, gifts of healing, assistance, administration, and varieties of tongues.(J) 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work mighty deeds? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 31 Strive eagerly for the greatest spiritual gifts.

The Way of Love. But I shall show you a still more excellent way.

Footnotes

  1. 12:1–14:40 Ecstatic and charismatic activity were common in early Christian experience, as they were in other ancient religions. But the Corinthians seem to have developed a disproportionate esteem for certain phenomena, especially tongues, to the detriment of order in the liturgy. Paul’s response to this development provides us with the fullest exposition we have of his theology of the charisms.
  2. 12:2–3 There is an experience of the Spirit and an understanding of ecstatic phenomena that are specifically Christian and that differ, despite apparent similarities, from those of the pagans. It is necessary to discern which spirit is leading one; ecstatic phenomena must be judged by their effect (1 Cor 12:2). 1 Cor 12:3 illustrates this by an example: power to confess Jesus as Lord can come only from the Spirit, and it is inconceivable that the Spirit would move anyone to curse the Lord.
  3. 12:4–6 There are some features common to all charisms, despite their diversity: all are gifts (charismata), grace from outside ourselves; all are forms of service (diakoniai), an expression of their purpose and effect; and all are workings (energēmata), in which God is at work. Paul associates each of these aspects with what later theology will call one of the persons of the Trinity, an early example of “appropriation.”
  4. 12:12–26 The image of a body is introduced to explain Christ’s relationship with believers (1 Cor 12:12). 1 Cor 12:13 applies this model to the church: by baptism all, despite diversity of ethnic or social origins, are integrated into one organism. 1 Cor 12:14–26 then develop the need for diversity of function among the parts of a body without threat to its unity.
  5. 12:27–30 Paul now applies the image again to the church as a whole and its members (1 Cor 12:27). The lists in 1 Cor 12:28–30 spell out the parallelism by specifying the diversity of functions found in the church (cf. Rom 12:6–8; Eph 4:11).
  6. 12:28 First, apostles: apostleship was not mentioned in 1 Cor 12:8–10, nor is it at issue in these chapters, but Paul gives it pride of place in his listing. It is not just one gift among others but a prior and fuller gift that includes the others. They are all demonstrated in Paul’s apostolate, but he may have developed his theology of charisms by reflecting first of all on his own grace of apostleship (cf. 1 Cor 3:5–4:14; 9:1–27; 2 Cor 2:14–6:13; 10:1–13:30, esp. 1 Cor 11:23 and 12:12).
