1 Corinthians 12

Translation KJV

1 Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. Being Unique The Trinity

5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. Being Unique The Trinity

6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. Being Unique The Trinity

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ. Leadership

13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. Holy Spirit Baptism

14 For the body is not one member, but many. Autism

15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? Autism

16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? Autism

17 If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling? Autism

18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. Being Unique Autism

19 And if they were all one member, where [were] the body? Autism

20 But now [are they] many members, yet but one body. Autism

21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. Autism

22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: Autism Disability

23 And those [members] of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness. Disability

24 For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that [part] which lacked: Disability

25 That there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another. Community Disability

26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Community Disability

27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. Being Unique Community

28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

29 [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all workers of miracles?

30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
