1 A nd concerning the spiritual things, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant;

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

2 y e have known that ye were nations, unto the dumb idols -- as ye were led -- being carried away;

Ye know that when ye were Gentiles ye were led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might led.

3 w herefore, I give you to understand that no one, in the Spirit of God speaking, saith Jesus anathema, and no one is able to say Jesus Lord, except in the Holy Spirit.

Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit.

4 A nd there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit;

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

5 a nd there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord;

And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord.

6 a nd there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God -- who is working the all in all.

And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all.

7 A nd to each hath been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit;

But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.

8 f or to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:

9 a nd to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit;

to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;

10 a nd to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues:

and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:

11 a nd all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth.

but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.

12 F or, even as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also the Christ,

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

13 f or also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all into one Spirit were made to drink,

For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.

14 f or also the body is not one member, but many;

For the body is not one member, but many.

15 i f the foot may say, `Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body;

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

16 a nd if the ear may say, `Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body?

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

17 I f the whole body an eye, where the hearing? if the whole hearing, where the smelling?

If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

18 a nd now, God did set the members each one of them in the body, according as He willed,

But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.

19 a nd if all were one member, where the body?

And if they were all one member, where were the body?

20 a nd now, indeed, many members, and one body;

But now they are many members, but one body.

21 a nd an eye is not able to say to the hand, `I have no need of thee;' nor again the head to the feet, `I have no need of you.'

And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

22 B ut much more the members of the body which seem to be more infirm are necessary,

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

23 a nd those that we think to be less honourable of the body, around these we put more abundant honour, and our unseemly things have seemliness more abundant,

and those parts of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness;

24 a nd our seemly things have no need; but God did temper the body together, to the lacking part having given more abundant honour,

whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked;

25 t hat there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another,

that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

26 a nd whether one member doth suffer, suffer with do all the members, or one member is glorified, rejoice with do all the members;

And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

27 a nd ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.

28 A nd some, indeed, did God set in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterwards powers, afterwards gifts of healings, helpings, governings, divers kinds of tongues;

And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues.

29 a ll apostles? all prophets? all teachers? all powers?

Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

30 h ave all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

31 a nd desire earnestly the better gifts; and yet a far excelling way do I shew to you:

But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you.
