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.

New King James Version
Spiritual Gifts: Unity in Diversity
12 Now (A)concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: 2 You know (B)that[a] you were Gentiles, carried away to these (C)dumb[b] idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus [c]accursed, and (D)no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
4 (E)There are [d]diversities of gifts, but (F)the same Spirit. 5 (G)There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God (H)who works [e]all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given (I)the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another (J)the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 (K)to another faith by the same Spirit, to another (L)gifts of healings by [f]the same Spirit, 10 (M)to another the working of miracles, to another (N)prophecy, to another (O)discerning of spirits, to another (P)different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, (Q)distributing to each one individually (R)as He wills.
Unity and Diversity in One Body(S)
12 For (T)as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, (U)so also is Christ. 13 For (V)by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—(W)whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and (X)have all been made to drink [g]into one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not one member but many.
15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? 18 But now (Y)God has set the members, each one of them, in the body (Z)just as He pleased. 19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be?
20 But now indeed there are many members, yet 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 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. 23 And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, 24 but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, 25 that there should be no [h]schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now (AA)you are the body of Christ, and (AB)members individually. 28 And (AC)God has appointed these in the church: first (AD)apostles, second (AE)prophets, third teachers, after that (AF)miracles, then (AG)gifts of healings, (AH)helps, (AI)administrations, varieties of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But (AJ)earnestly desire the [i]best gifts. And yet I show you a 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.
1 Corinthians 12
English Standard Version
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.
