1 Corinthians 12:1-11
“Now
about the gifts of THE SPIRIT brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be
uninformed.
2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were
influenced and led astray to mute idols.
3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the SPIRIT
OF GOD says,
‘JESUS
be cursed,’
and no one can say,
‘JESUS
is LORD,’ except
by THE HOLY SPIRIT.
4 There are different kinds of
gifts,
but
the same SPIRIT distributes them.
5 There are different kinds of
service, but the same LORD.
6 There are different kinds of
working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same GOD at work.
7 Now to each one the manifestation
of THE SPIRIT is given for the common good.
8 To one there is given through THE
SPIRIT a message of wisdom,
to
another a message of knowledge by means of the same SPIRIT,
9 to another faith by the same SPIRIT,
to
another gifts of healing by that ONE SPIRIT,
10 to another miraculous
powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between
spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of
tongues.
11 All these are the work of ONE AND
THE SAME SPIRIT, and HE distributes them to each one, just as HE
determines.”
