Etheridge - I Corinthians - 12

12:1  BUT concerning spirituals, my brethren, I wish you to know

12:2  that you were Heathens, and unto idols which have no voice you were led without discernment .

12:3  I therefore make known to you, that there is no man who by the Spirit of Aloha speaketh, and saith that Jeshu is accursed; and no man also can say that Jeshu is THE LORD unless by the Spirit of Holiness.

12:4  Now, there are distributions of gifts, but one is the Spirit;

12:5  and there are distributions of ministries, but one is the Lord;

12:6  and distributions of powers, but one is Aloha, who worketh all in every man.

12:7  But to each is given (such) a revelation of the Spirit as is profitable to him.

12:8  To one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom, but to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

12:9  and to another, faith by the same Spirit; and to another, the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

12:10  but to another, powers; to another, prophecy; to another, the discernment of spirits; but to another, kinds of tongues; and to another, the interpretation of tongues.

12:11  But all these one Spirit effecteth, and divideth unto every man as he willeth.

12:12  For, as the body is one, and in it are many members, but all the members of the body, though many, are one body; so also is the Meshiha.

12:13  For we all by one Spirit into one body are baptized; whether Jihudoyee or Aramoyee; whether servants or sons of freedom; and all of us have imbibed one Spirit.

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

12:15  For if the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body itself, would it therefore not be of the body itself?

12:16  And if the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body itself, would it therefore not be of the body itself?

12:17  For if the whole body were the eye, where would be the hearing? And if the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?

12:18  But now hath Aloha set all the members severally in the body as he willed.

12:19  But if all were one member, where would be the body?

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

12:21  The eye is not able to say to the hand, Thou art not needful to me; nor is the hand able to say to the feet, You are not needful to me.

12:22  But those members which are considered to be feeble, of them is the more especial need;

12:23  and those which we consider contemptible in the body, to these the more we increase the honour; and on those which are of shame we bestow the greater decoration.

12:24  But those members that are honourable in us have no need of adornment: but Aloha hath contempered the body, and given the more honour to the member which is inconsiderable;

12:25  that there should be no divisions in the body, but all the members equally one of the other should have care:

12:26  as that when one member shall be diseased, all may suffer; and if one member be glorified, all the members may be glorified.

12:27  But you are the body of the Meshiha, and members in your place.

12:28  FOR Aloha hath placed in the church, first, apostles; after them, prophets; after them, teachers; after them, workers of miracles; after them, gifts of healing, and helpers, and leaders, and kinds of tongues.

12:29  Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?

12:30  Have all the gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues, or do all interpret?

12:31  But if you are emulous of great gifts, I will yet show you a way more admirable.
