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

But concerning spiritual, brethren, I do not wish you to be 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 nations led away to dumb idols, in whatever way ye might be 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.

I give you therefore to know, that no one, speaking in Spirit of God, says, Curse Jesus; and no one can say, Lord Jesus, unless in Holy Spirit.

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

But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit;

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

and there are distinctions of services, 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 distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all.

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

But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit.

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, by the Spirit, is given word of wisdom; and to another 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;

and to a different one faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healing in the same 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 operations of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; and to a different one kinds of tongues; and to another 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 things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases.

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 even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also the 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 also in one Spirit we have all been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or free, and have all been given to drink of one Spirit.

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

For also 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 say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed 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 say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed 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 an eye, where the hearing? if all hearing, where the smelling?

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

But now God has set the members, each one of them in the body, according as it has pleased.

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

But if all were one member, where the body?

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

But now the members many, and the body one.

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.'

The eye cannot say to the hand, I have not need of thee; or again, the head to the feet, I have not need of you.

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

But much rather, the members of the body which seem to be weaker 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 of the body which we esteem to be the more void of honour, these we clothe with more abundant honour; and our uncomely 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,

but our comely have not need. But God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that 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 might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern 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 if one member suffer, all the members suffer with; and if one member be glorified, all the members rejoice with.

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

Now ye are Christ's body, and members in particular.

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 has set certain in the assembly: first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then miraculous powers; then gifts of healings; helps; governments; kinds of tongues.

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

all apostles? all prophets? all teachers? all miraculous powers?

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 yet shew I unto you a way of more surpassing excellence.
