1. Now, brothers and sisters, I want you to understand about spiritual gifts.
|
1. Now G1161 concerning G4012 spiritual G4152 gifts, brethren G80 , I would G2309 not G3756 have you G5209 ignorant G50 .
|
|
2. You know the way you lived before you were believers. You let yourselves be influenced and led away to worship idols -- things that could not speak.
|
2. Ye know G1492 that G3754 ye were G2258 Gentiles G1484 , carried away G520 unto G4314 these dumb G880 idols G1497 , even as G5613 ye were led G71 G302 .
|
|
3. So I want you to understand that no one who is speaking with the help of God's Spirit says, "Jesus be cursed." And no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," without the help of the Holy Spirit.
|
3. Wherefore G1352 I give you to understand G1107 G5213 , that G3754 no man G3762 speaking G2980 by G1722 the Spirit G4151 of God G2316 calleth G3004 Jesus G2424 accursed G331 : and G2532 that no man G3762 can G1410 say G2036 that Jesus G2424 is the Lord G2962 , but G1508 by G1722 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 .
|
|
4. There are different kinds of gifts, but they are all from the same Spirit.
|
4. Now G1161 there are G1526 diversities G1243 of gifts G5486 , but G1161 the G3588 same G846 Spirit G4151 .
|
|
5. There are different ways to serve but the same Lord to serve.
|
5. And G2532 there are G1526 differences G1243 of administrations G1248 , but G2532 the G3588 same G846 Lord G2962 .
|
|
6. And there are different ways that God works through people but the same God. God works in all of us in everything we do.
|
6. And G2532 there are G1526 diversities G1243 of operations G1755 , but G1161 it is G2076 the G3588 same G846 God G2316 which worketh G1754 all G3956 in G1722 all G3956 .
|
|
7. Something from the Spirit can be seen in each person, for the common good.
|
7. But G1161 the G3588 manifestation G5321 of the G3588 Spirit G4151 is given G1325 to every man G1538 to G4314 profit G4851 withal.
|
|
8. The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak with wisdom, and the same Spirit gives another the ability to speak with knowledge.
|
8. For G1063 to one G3739 G3303 is given G1325 by G1223 the G3588 Spirit G4151 the word G3056 of wisdom G4678 ; to G1161 another G243 the word G3056 of knowledge G1108 by G2596 the G3588 same G846 Spirit G4151 ;
|
|
9. The same Spirit gives faith to one person. And, to another, that one Spirit gives gifts of healing.
|
9. To G1161 another G2087 faith G4102 by G1722 the G3588 same G846 Spirit G4151 ; to G1161 another G243 the gifts G5486 of healing G2386 by G1722 the G3588 same G846 Spirit G4151 ;
|
|
10. The Spirit gives to another person the power to do miracles, to another the ability to prophesy. And he gives to another the ability to know the difference between good and evil spirits. The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak in different kinds of languagesn and to another the ability to interpret those languages.
|
10. To G1161 another G243 the working G1755 of miracles G1411 ; to G1161 another G243 prophecy G4394 ; to G1161 another G243 discerning G1253 of spirits G4151 ; to G1161 another G2087 divers kinds G1085 of tongues G1100 ; to G1161 another G243 the interpretation G2058 of tongues G1100 :
|
|
11. One Spirit, the same Spirit, does all these things, and the Spirit decides what to give each person.
|
11. But G1161 all G3956 these G5023 worketh G1754 that one G1520 and G2532 the G3588 selfsame G846 Spirit G4151 , dividing G1244 to every man G1538 severally G2398 as G2531 he will G1014 .
|
|
12. A person's body is only one thing, but it has many parts. Though there are many parts to a body, all those parts make only one body. Christ is like that also.
|
12. For G1063 as G2509 the G3588 body G4983 is G2076 one G1520 , and G2532 hath G2192 many G4183 members G3196 , and G1161 all G3956 the G3588 members G3196 of that one G1520 body G4983 , being G5607 many G4183 , are G2076 one G1520 body G4983 : so G3779 also G2532 is Christ G5547 .
|
|
13. Some of us are Jews, and some are Greeks. Some of us are slaves, and some are free. But we were all baptized into one body through one Spirit. And we were all made to share in the one Spirit.
|
13. For G1063 by G1722 one G1520 Spirit G4151 are we G2249 all G3956 baptized G907 into G1519 one G1520 body G4983 , whether G1535 we be Jews G2453 or G1535 Gentiles G1672 , whether G1535 we be bond G1401 or G1535 free G1658 ; and G2532 have been all G3956 made to drink G4222 into G1519 one G1520 Spirit G4151 .
|
|
14. The human body has many parts.
|
14. For G1063 the G2532 G3588 body G4983 is G2076 not G3756 one G1520 member G3196 , but G235 many G4183 .
|
|
15. The foot might say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not part of the body." But saying this would not stop the foot from being a part of the body.
|
15. If G1437 the G3588 foot G4228 shall say G2036 , Because I am G1510 not G3756 the hand G5495 , I am G1510 not G3756 of G1537 the G3588 body G4983 ; is G2076 it G3756 therefore G3844 G5124 not G3756 of G1537 the G3588 body G4983 ?
|
|
16. The ear might say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not part of the body." But saying this would not stop the ear from being a part of the body.
|
16. And G2532 if G1437 the G3588 ear G3775 shall say G2036 , Because G3754 I am G1510 not G3756 the eye G3788 , I am G1510 not G3756 of G1537 the G3588 body G4983 ; is G2076 it G3756 therefore G3844 G5124 not G3756 of G1537 the G3588 body G4983 ?
|
|
17. If the whole body were an eye, it would not be able to hear. If the whole body were an ear, it would not be able to smell.
|
17. If G1487 the G3588 whole G3650 body G4983 were an eye G3788 , where G4226 were the G3588 hearing G189 ? If G1487 the whole G3650 were hearing G189 , where G4226 were the G3588 smelling G3750 ?
