Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
4 Now there are differences[a] of gifts[b], but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of ministries[c], and the same Lord. 6 And there are differences of things-worked[d], but the same God working all things in all persons. 7 And the manifestation[e] of [f] the Spirit is given to each one for our benefit. 8 For to one a word[g] of [h] wisdom is given through the Spirit; and to another, a word of knowledge according-to[i] the same Spirit; 9 to a different one, faith by the same Spirit; and to another, gifts of [j] healings by the one Spirit; 10 and to another, things-worked[k] by miracles; and to another, prophecy[l]; and to another, discernments[m] of spirits; to a different one, kinds of tongues[n]; and to another, interpretation[o] of tongues. 11 But the one and the same Spirit works[p] all these things, distributing to each one individually[q], just as He wills[r].
For The Body of Christ Is Like The Human Body
12 For just as the [human] body is one [body]; and it has many body-parts; and all the body-parts of the [human] body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.[s]
It Is One Body With One Spirit
13 For indeed with[t] one Spirit, we all were baptized into one body[u]— whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free. And we all were given one Spirit to drink.
