Spiritual Gifts

1 Corinthians 12

1 Now a concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: 2 You know b that 1 you were Gentiles, carried away to these c dumb 2 idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus 3 accursed, and d no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

4 e There are 4 diversities of gifts, but f the same Spirit. 5 g There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God h who works 5 all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given i the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another j the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 k to another faith by the same Spirit, to another l gifts of healings by 6 the same Spirit, 10 m to another the working of miracles, to another n prophecy, to another o discerning of spirits, to another p different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, q distributing to each one individually r as He wills.
