Now about - spiritual (gifts) , brothers , vvv I do not want you to be uninformed.
You know that when you were pagans , vvv vvv you were influenced (and) led astray to - - mute idols.
Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by (the) Spirit of God says , “ Jesus (be) cursed , ” and no one can say , “ Jesus (is) Lord , ” except ... by (the) Holy Spirit.
- There are different gifts , but the same Spirit.
- There are different ministries , but the same Lord.
- There are different ways of working , but the same God - works - all things in all (people).
Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
- - To one there is given through the Spirit (the) message of wisdom , - to another (the) message of knowledge by the same Spirit ,
to another faith by the same Spirit , - to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit ,
- to another (the) working of miracles , - to another prophecy , - to another distinguishing between spirits , to another vvv speaking in various tongues , and to (still) another (the) interpretation of tongues.
- All these are the work of one and the same - Spirit , who apportions (them) to each one as He determines.
- - The body is a unit , though it is composed of many parts. And (although) ... (its) ... parts are many , they all form one body. So (it is) - with Christ.
For - in one Spirit we vvv were all baptized into one body , whether Jews or Greeks , - slave or free , and vvv we were all given one Spirit {to drink}.
For - the body does not consist ... of one part , but of many.
If the foot should say , “ Because I am not a hand , I do not belong to the body , ” that ... would not ( make it any less ) a part of the body.
And if the ear should say , “ Because I am not an eye , I do not belong to the body , ” that ... would not ( make it any less ) a part of the body.
If the whole body (were) an eye , where (would) the sense of hearing (be) ? If (the) whole (body) (were) an ear , where (would) the sense of smell (be) ?
But in fact , - God has arranged the members of the body , every one of them , according to His design.
- If they were - all one part , where (would) the body (be) ?
- As it is ... , (there are) many parts , but one body.
- The eye vvv cannot say to the hand , “ I do not need you. ” (Nor can) ... the head (say) to the feet , “ I do not need you. ”
On the contrary ... ... , the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable ,
and the - (parts) we consider ... less honorable , - we treat with greater honor. And our - unpresentable (parts) are treated with special modesty ,
whereas our - presentable (parts) have no (such) need. But - God has composed the body (and) has given greater honor to the (parts) that lacked it ,
so that there should be no division in the body , but that (its) members {should have} mutual concern for one another.
- If one part suffers , every - part suffers with (it) ; if one part is honored , every - part rejoices with (it).
Now you are (the) body of Christ , and each of you (is) ... a member (of it).
And - - in the church - God has appointed first of all apostles , second prophets , third teachers , then (workers of) miracles , (and) (those with) gifts of healing , helping , administration , (and) various tongues.
(Are) all apostles ? (Are) all prophets ? (Are) all teachers ? (Do) all (work) miracles ?
(Do) all have gifts of healing ? (Do) all speak in tongues ? (Do) all interpret ?
But eagerly desire the - greater gifts. And now I will show you vvv the most excellent way.
