Spiritual Gifts

⁸ For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of _x wisdom, and to another the utterance of _y knowledge according to the same Spirit, ⁹ to another _z faith by the same Spirit, to another _a gifts of healing by the one Spirit, ¹⁰ to another _b the working of miracles, to another _c prophecy, to another _d the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another _e various kinds of tongues, to another _f the interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, _g who apportions to each one individually _h as he wills.

One Body with Many Members

¹² For just as _i the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, _j so it is with Christ.
