Godbey - I Corinthians - 12

12:1  But concerning the spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant.

12:2  You know that when you were heathens, you were following after dumb idols, as you were led.

12:3  Therefore I make known to you, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, Jesus is anathema; and no one is able to say; Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

12:4  But there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit;

12:5  and there are diversities of ministries, and the same Lord.

12:6  And there are diversities of operations, and the same God, working all things in all.

12:7  But to each one the manifestation of the Spirit has been given unto profit.

12:8  For indeed to one the word of wisdom has been given by the Spirit; and to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

12:9  to another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healings by the one Spirit;

12:10  and to another the workings of dynamites; and to another prophecy, and to another discernment of spirits; and to another kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues:

12:11  and one and the same Spirit works all these in you, dispensing unto each one severally as he willeth.

12:12  For indeed there is one body, and it has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

12:13  For indeed we have by one Spirit been baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, or bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.

12:14  For truly the body is not one member, but many.

12:15  If the foot may say; Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not on account of this not of the body.

12:16  And if the ear may say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, it is not on account of this not of the body.

12:17  If the eye were the whole body, where is the hearing? If the hearing where the whole body, where is the smelling?

12:18  But now God has placed the members each one of them in the body, as he wished.

12:19  And if all were one member, where is the body?

12:20  But now indeed the members are many, but the body is one.

12:21  But the eye is not able to say to the hand, I have no need of you: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you:

12:22  but much more are the members of the body which seem to be the weaker necessary:

12:23  and those which we regard the more dishonorable members of the body, upon these we confer the more abundant honors; and our uncomely members have the more abundant comeliness;

12:24  but our comely members have no need. But God has adjusted the body, having given the more abundant honor to that part which lacked;

12:25  in order that there may be no schisms in the body, but the members may care the same for one another.

12:26  And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; if one member is glorified, all the members rejoice with it.

12:27  But you are the body of Christ and members one of another.

12:28  Whom God has, indeed, also placed in the church, first apostles, then prophets, then teachers, then dynamites, then gifts of healings, helps, leaderships, kinds of tongues.

12:29  Whether are all apostles? whether are all prophets? whether are all teachers? whether are all dynamites?

12:30  whether do all have the gifts of healings? whether do all speak with tongues? whether do all interpret?

12:31  Seek earnestly these greater gifts; and yet I show unto you a more excellent way.
