1 Corinthians 12:3-11
English Standard Version
3 Therefore I want you to understand that (A)no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is (B)accursed!” and (C)no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.
4 Now (D)there are varieties of gifts, but (E)the same Spirit; 5 and (F)there are varieties of service, but (G)the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is (H)the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 (I)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 (J)wisdom, and to another the utterance of (K)knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another (L)faith by the same Spirit, to another (M)gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another (N)the working of miracles, to another (O)prophecy, to another (P)the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another (Q)various kinds of tongues, to another (R)the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, (S)who apportions to each one individually (T)as he wills.

Gifts of Grace
3 For (A)by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you (B)not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, (C)each according to (D)the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For (E)as in one body we have many members,[a] and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, (F)though many, (G)are one body in Christ, and individually (H)members one of another. 6 (I)Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if (J)prophecy, (K)in proportion to our faith; 7 if (L)service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; (M)the one who leads,[b] with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with (N)cheerfulness.

7 But (A)grace was given (B)to each one of us (C)according to the measure of Christ's gift. 8 Therefore it says,
9 ((F)In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into (G)the lower regions, the earth?[b] 10 He who descended is the one who also (H)ascended (I)far above all the heavens, that he might (J)fill all things.) 11 And (K)he gave the (L)apostles, the prophets, the (M)evangelists, the (N)shepherds[c] and teachers,[d]
