Tyndale - I Corinthians - 12

12:1  In spirituall thinges brethren I wolde not have you ignoraunt.

12:2  Ye knowe that ye were gentyls and went youre wayes vnto domme ydoles even as ye were ledde.

12:3  Wherfore I declare vnto you that no man speakynge in the sprete of god defieth Iesus. Also no man can saye that Iesus is the lorde: but by the holy goost.

12:4  Ther are diversities of gyftes verely yet but one sprete.

12:5  And ther are differences of administracions and yet but one lorde.

12:6  And ther are divers maners of operacions and yet but one God which worketh all thinges that are wrought in all creatures.

12:7  The gyftes of ye sprete are geven to every man to proffit ye congregacion.

12:8  To one is geven thorow the spirite the vtteraunce of wisdome? To another is geven the vtteraunce of knowledge by ye same sprete.

12:9  To another is geuen fayth by ye same sprete. To another ye gyftes of healynge by the same sprete.

12:10  To another power to do myracles. To another prophesie? To another iudgement of spretes. To another divers tonges. To another the interpretacion of toges.

12:11  And these all worketh eve ye silfe same sprete devydynge to every man severall gyftes even as he will.

12:12  For as the body is one and hath many mebres and all the membres of one body though they be many yet are but one body: even so is Christ.

12:13  For in one sprete are we all baptysed to make one body whether we be Iewes or getyls whether we be bonde or fre: and have all dronke of one sprete.

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

12:15  Yf the fote saye: I am not the honde therfore I am not of the body: is he therfore not of ye body:

12:16  And if ye eare saye I am not the eye: therfore I am not of the body: is he therfore not of the body?

12:17  If all the body were an eye where were then the eare? If all were hearynge: where were the smellynge?

12:18  But now hath god disposed the membres every one of them in the body at his awne pleasure.

12:19  If they were all one member: where were the body?

12:20  Now are ther many membres yet but one body.

12:21  And the eye can not saye vnto the honde I have no nede of the: nor ye heed also to the fete. I have no nede of you.

12:22  Ye rather a greate deale those mebres of the body which seme to be most feble are most necessary.

12:23  And apo those mebres of yt body which we thinke lest honest put we most honestie on. And oure vngodly parties have most beauty on.

12:24  For oure honest members nede it not. But God hath so disposed the body ad hath geven most honoure to that parte which laked

12:25  lest there shuld be eny stryfe in the body: but that the members shuld indifferetly care one for another.

12:26  And yf one member suffer all suffer with him: yf one member be had in honoure all members be glad also.

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

12:28  And God hath also ordeyned in the congregacion fyrst the Apostels secodarely prophetes thyrdly teachers then the that do miracles: after that the gyftes of healynge helpers governers diversite of tonges.

12:29  Are all Apostles? Are all Prophetes? Are all teachers? Are all doars of miracles?

12:30  Have all the gyftes of healinge? Do all speake wt tonges? Do all interprete?

12:31  Covet after ye best giftes. Amd yet shewe I vnto you a moare excellent waye.
