Biblical Spiritual Gifts

¹ Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant [I have information for you].
² Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto [convinced to believe in] these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
³ Wherefore I give [want] 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 [unless he is speaking by] the Holy Ghost.
⁴ Now there are diversities [different kinds] of gifts, but the same Spirit.
⁵ And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
⁶ And there are diversities of operations [mighty works], but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
⁷ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. [The Holy Spirit reveals Himself freely through these gifts for the benefit of everyone.]
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; [speaking in tongues] to another the interpretation of tongues:
¹¹ But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally [individually] 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.
¹³ For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body [adopted into the same family], whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many.
¹⁵ If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not [part] of the body; is it therefore not [part] of the body?
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?
¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing [how would it hear]? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling [how would it smell]?

¹⁸ But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased Him.
¹⁹ And if they were all one member, where were the body? [If they were all a single part, how could it be a body?]
²⁰ But now are they many members, yet but [still] one body.
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.
²² Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
²³ And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable [or perhaps shameful], upon these we bestow more abundant honour [we adorn them with clothing]; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

²⁴ For our comely [handsome] parts have no need: but God hath tempered [arranged] the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.
²⁵ [So] That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
²⁶ And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
²⁷ Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular [each is a particular part].
²⁸ And God hath set some [to serve] 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 [desire] earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
