Concerning Spiritual Gifts: God Distributes a Variety of Gifts For Our Mutual Benefit
12 Now concerning the spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be unaware. 2 You know that when you were Gentiles[a], you were being led-away[b] to the speechless idols, however[c] you were being led. 3 Therefore I make-known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God is saying “Jesus is[d] accursed”. And no one is able to say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit. 4 Now there are differences[e] of gifts[f], but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of ministries[g], and the same Lord. 6 And there are differences of things-worked[h], but the same God working all things in all persons. 7 And the manifestation[i] of [j] the Spirit is given to each one for our benefit. 8 For to one a word[k] of [l] wisdom is given through the Spirit; and to another, a word of knowledge according-to[m] the same Spirit; 9 to a different one, faith by the same Spirit; and to another, gifts of [n] healings by the one Spirit; 10 and to another, things-worked[o] by miracles; and to another, prophecy[p]; and to another, discernments[q] of spirits; to a different one, kinds of tongues[r]; and to another, interpretation[s] of tongues. 11 But the one and the same Spirit works[t] all these things, distributing to each one individually[u], just as He wills[v].
Jesus Raises a Girl After a Public Request, And Heals a Woman With a Secret Request
18 While He was speaking these things to them, behold— one [synagogue] official, having come, was prostrating-himself before Him, saying that “My daughter just-now came-to-an-end[a]. But having come, lay Your hand on her, and she will live”. 19 And having arisen, Jesus followed him, and [so did] His disciples. 20 And behold— a woman having-a-bloody-discharge[b] for twelve years, having approached from behind, touched the tassel of His garment. 21 For she was saying within herself, “If I only touch His garment, I will be restored[c]”. 22 But Jesus, having turned and having seen her, said, “Take-courage, daughter. Your faith has restored you”. And the woman was restored from that hour. 23 And Jesus, having come into the house of the official, and having seen the flute-players and the crowd being thrown-into-a-commotion[d], 24 was saying “Go away. For the little-girl did not die, but is sleeping”. And they were laughing-scornfully at Him. 25 But when the crowd was put out, having gone in, He took-hold-of her hand and the little girl arose. 26 And this news went out into that whole land.
