1 Corinzi 12
La Nuova Diodati
12 Ora, fratelli, non voglio che siate nell'ignoranza riguardo ai doni spirituali.
2 Voi sapete che quando eravate gentili, eravate trascinati dietro gli idoli muti, dietro l'impulso del momento.
3 Perciò vi faccio sapere che nessuno parlando per lo Spirito di Dio, dice «Gesú è anatema», e che altresí nessuno può dire: «Gesú è il Signore», se non per lo Spirito Santo.
4 Or vi sono diversità di doni, ma non vi è che un medesimo Spirito,
5 Vi sono anche diversità di ministeri ma non vi è che un medesimo Signore.
6 Vi sono parimenti diversità di operazioni, ma non vi è che un medesimo Dio, il quale opera tutte le cose in tutti.
7 Or a ciascuno è data la manifestazione dello Spirito per l'utilità comune.
8 A uno infatti è data, per mezzo dello Spirito, parola di sapienza; a un altro, secondo il medesimo Spirito, parola di conoscenza;
9 a un altro fede, dal medesimo Spirito a un altro doni di guarigioni, per mezzo del medesimo Spirito; a un altro potere di compiere potenti operazioni; a un altro profezia; a un altro discernimento degli spiriti;
10 a un altro diversità di lingue, a un altro l'interpretazione delle lingue.
11 Or tutte queste cose le opera quell'unico e medesimo Spirito, che distribuisce i suoi doni a ciascuno in particolare come vuole.
12 Come infatti il corpo è uno, ma ha molte membra, e tutte le membra di quell'unico corpo, pur essendo molte, formano un solo corpo, cosí è anche Cristo.
13 Ora noi tutti siamo stati battezzati in uno Spirito nel medesimo corpo, sia Giudei che Greci, sia schiavi che liberi, e siamo stati tutti abbeverati in un medesimo Spirito.
14 Infatti anche il corpo non è un sol membro, ma molte.
15 Se il piede dicesse: «Perché non sono mano io non sono parte del corpo», non per questo non sarebbe parte del corpo.
16 E se l'orecchio dicesse: «Perché non sono occhio, io non sono parte del corpo», non per questo non sarebbe parte del corpo.
17 Se tutto il corpo fosse occhio, dove sarebbe l'udito? Se tutto fosse udito, dove sarebbe l'odorato?
18 Ma ora Dio ha posto ciascun membro nel corpo, come ha voluto.
19 Ma se tutte le membra fossero un solo membro, dove sarebbe il corpo?
20 Ci sono invece molte membra, ma vi è un solo corpo.
21 E l'occhio non può dire alla mano: «Io non ho bisogno di te»; né parimenti il capo può dire ai piedi: «Io non ho bisogno di voi».
22 Anzi, le membra del corpo che sembrano essere le piú deboli, sono molto piú necessarie delle altre;
23 e quelle che stimiamo essere le meno onorevoli del corpo, le circondiamo di maggior onore; e le nostre parti indecorose sono circondate di maggior decoro;
24 ma le nostre parti decorose non ne hanno bisogno. Perciò Dio ha composto il corpo, dando maggiore onore alla parte che ne mancava,
25 affinché non vi fosse divisione nel corpo, ma le membra avessero tutte una medesima cura le une per le altre.
26 E se un membro soffre, tutte le membra soffrono; mentre se un membro è onorato, tutte le membra ne gioiscono insieme.
27 Or voi siete il corpo di Cristo e sue membra, ciascuno per parte sua.
28 E Dio ne ha costituiti alcuni nella chiesa in primo luogo come apostoli, in secondo luogo come profeti, in terzo luogo come dottori; poi ha ordinato le potenti operazioni; quindi i doni di guarigione i doni di assistenza e di governo e la diversità di lingue.
29 Sono forse tutti apostoli? Tutti profeti? Tutti dottori?
30 Hanno tutti il dono di potenti operazioni? Hanno tutti i doni di guarigioni? Parlano tutti diverse lingue? Interpretano tutti?
31 Ora voi cercate ardentemente i doni maggiori; e vi mostrerò una via ancora piú alta.
1 Corinthians 12
New American Standard Bible
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.

Kehillah in Corinth I 12
Orthodox Jewish Bible
12 Now I do not want you to lack da’as concerning the things of the Ruach Hakodesh, Achim b’Moshiach.
2 You have da’as that when you WERE Goyim [T.N. i.e., you are no longer heathen pagans], somehow you were influenced and led astray to the ELILIM ILLEMIM ("Dumb idols, idols incapable of speech" CHABAKUK 2:18-19).
3 Therefore, I make known to you that no one speaking by the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem says, "Al Yehoshua ki Cherem hu" ("a curse of the ban of destruction is on Yehoshua"), and no one is able to say, "Yehoshua hu HaAdon" except by the Ruach Hakodesh.
4 There are different kinds of matanot (gifts), but the same Ruach Hakodesh.
5 There are different avodot hakodesh (ministries), but the one Adonoi.
6 And there are a variety of activities [of the Ruach Hakodesh], but the same G-d working all in all.
7 But to each is given the disclosure of the Ruach Hakodesh for benefit:
8 To one through the Ruach Hakodesh is given a dvar chochmah (a dvar of wisdom Ac 16:7); to another, according to the same Ruach Hakodesh, a dvar da’as (word of knowledge Ac 5:3);
9 To another, by the same Ruach Hakodesh, emunah (Mt 17:20-21); to another, by the one Ruach Hakodesh, matanot harippuy (gifts of healing [refuah]) Ac 3:6-16);
10 to another those of cholel niflaot ("accomplishing miracles" SHEMOT 4:21; Yn 11:42-43) And to another divrei hanevu’ah (words of prophecy MELACHIM ALEF 17:1), and to another discernings (being about to make a nafka mina distinction) of ruchot (spirits MELACHIM ALEF 22:22), to another kinds of leshonot (tongues Ac 2:4), and to another, pitronim (interpretations) of leshonot (tongues—1C 14:13).
11 All these things are activated by the one and same Ruach Hakodesh, distributing individually to each one as He determines.
12 For even as the body is echad, and has many evarim (members), and all the evarim (members) of the body, though many, are one body, so is Moshiach.
13 For also in one Ruach Hakodesh we were all given a tevilah into one body, whether Yehudim or Yevanim (Greeks), whether avadim (slaves) or bnei Chorin (freedman), and all were given to drink, as it were, from one Ruach Hakodesh.
14 For the body is not one, but many, evarim (members).
15 If the regel (foot) says, "Because I am not a yad (hand), I am not of the body," that would not make it any less one of the evarim of the body.
16 And if the ozen (ear) says, "Because I am no ayin (eye), I am not of the body," that would not make it any less one of the evarim of the body.
17 If the whole body were an ayin (eye), where would be the hearing? If the whole body were hearing, where would be the smelling?
18 But now Hashem set the evarim (members), each one of them, in the body according to His ratzon (will), as He wanted.
19 And if all were all one evar (member), where would the body be?
20 As it is, though there are many evarim (members), there is but one body.
21 And the ayin (eye) is not able to say to the yad (hand), “I do not have need of you.” Or, again, the rosh (head), speaking to the raglayim (feet), is not to say, “I have no need of you.”
22 Just the opposite, the evarim of the body appearing to be weaker are vital.
23 And those evarim of the body which we presume to be dishonorable, on these we clothe with even more honor, and our parts with lesser kibbud (respect, honor) are treated with greater.
24 Whereas, our evarim with greater kibbud have no need of more. However, Hashem has so composed the achdus yichudim (unit, harmony of unifications) of the body, giving the superior kibbud to the inferior,
25 lest there be schisms (1:10; 11:18) in the body. But the evarim should have the same gemilut chasadim (deeds of lovingkindness and caring) for one another.
26 And when one evar (member) has tza’ar (pain and suffering), all the evarim (members) have tza’ar with it; or one evar has the aliyah of kibbud, all the evarim has simcha with it.
27 Now you are Moshiach’s body (BERESHIS 47:18-19) and individually evarim of it.
28 Now Hashem placed some in the Adat HaMoshiach (community of Moshiach), in the Kehillah, rishon (first): shlichim, second, nevi’im, third, morim (teachers), then those of cholel nifla’aot (“accomplishing miracles—Ex 4:21), then matanot harippuy (gifts of healing), then matanot of helps, then manhigut ruchanit (spiritual leadership, administration), kinds of leshonot.
29 Surely not all are shlichim? Surely not all are nevi’im? Surely not all are rabbinical morim? Surely not all are those cholel nifa’ot (accomplishing miracles”)?
30 Surely not all have matanot harippuy (gifts of healing)? Surely not all speak in leshonot (cf 1C 14:23, 26)? Surely not all have the pitron (interpretation) of leshonot?
31 But earnestly desire the greater matanot (gifts) [of the Ruach Hakodesh]….And yet now I show you a more feste derech. T.N. Rav Sha’ul now turns to the need for balance. Not that he is trying to terminate the miraculous in Moshiach’s Kehillah [a futile endeavor!], but that he is showing the need for the fruit of the Ruach Hakodesh to balance His gifts, especially in an environment where pride and carnality have quenched ahavah, which is the Yn 3:16 center of Moshiach’s saving histalkus (passing, the death of Moshiach in midst of his Redemptive mission on the analogy of Moses dying before he crosses into the Promised Land.)
