Rotherham - I Corinthians - 12

12:1  But, concerning the spiritually gifted, brethren, I am not wishing you to be ignorant.

12:2  Ye know that, when ye were of the nations, unto the dumb idols, howsoever ye were being led, ye were seduced.

12:3  Wherefore, I give you to know—that, no one, in God’s Spirit speaking, saith—Accursed Jesus! and, no one, can say—Lord Jesus! save in [the] Holy Spirit.

12:4  But, distributions of gifts, there are, yet the same Spirit,

12:5  And, distributions of ministries, there are, and the same Lord,

12:6  And, distributions of energies, there are, and the same God—who energiseth all things in all.

12:7  But, unto each one, is given the manifesting of the Spirit, with a view to that which is profitable;

12:8  For, unto one, indeed, through the Spirit, is given, a word of wisdom, but, unto another, a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;—

12:9  Unto a different one, faith, in the same Spirit, and, unto another, gifts of healings, in the one Spirit,

12:10  And, unto another, energies of mighty works, [and], unto another, prophesying, [and], unto another, discriminations of spirits,—unto a different one, kinds of tongues, and, unto another, translation of tongues;—

12:11  But, all these, energiseth the one and the same Spirit, distributing unto each one, peculiarly, even as it is disposed.

12:12  For, just as, the body, is one, and yet hath many members, but, all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so, also, the Christ;—

12:13  For, even to one Spirit, we all, into one body, have been immersed,—whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free,—and, all, of one Spirit, have been caused to drink.

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

12:15  Though the foot should say—Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, Is it, therefore, not, of the body?

12:16  And, though the ear should say—Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, Is it, therefore, not, of the body?

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

12:18  But, now, hath God set the members, each one of them in the body, even as he pleased.

12:19  But, if they all had been one member, Where had been, the body?

12:20  Now, however there are many members, yet one body;

12:21  [And] the eye cannot say unto the hand—I have no need of thee,—nor, again, the head, unto the feet—I have no need of you:—

12:22  Nay! much more, the members which seem to be weaker are necessary,

12:23  And, the parts of the body which we deem to be less honourable, on these, more abundant honour, do we bestow, and, our uncomely parts, have, more abundant comeliness,

12:24  Whereas, our comely parts, have, no need. But, God, hath tempered the body together,—unto that which was lacking, giving more abundant honour;—

12:25  That there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have, the same, care, one for another;

12:26  And, whether one member, suffereth, all the members, suffer with it, or, a member is glorified, all the members, rejoice together.

12:27  Now, ye, are the body of Christ, and members severally;—

12:28  And God hath, indeed, set, certain, in the assembly,—first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that mighty works, then gifts of healings, helps, guidings, kinds of tongues.

12:29  Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all mighty works?

12:30  Have, all, gifts of healings? Do, all, with tongues, speak? Do, all, translate?

12:31  Be envious, however, of the greater gifts; and, yet, a much more excellent way, unto you, I point out:—
