so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another.

For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

and his interests are divided. And the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband.

Spiritual Gifts

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.

Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;

to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues.

Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.

Prophecy and Tongues

Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.

And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

All the brothers send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
