| 1st-Corinthians 12:1 | Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. | It is important, brethren, that you should have clear knowledge on the subject of spiritual gifts. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:2 | Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. | You know that when you were heathens you went astray after dumb idols, wherever you happened to be led. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:3 | 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. | For this reason I would have you understand that no one speaking under the influence of The Spirit of God ever says, "Jesus is accursed," and that no one is able to say, "Jesus is Lord," except under the influence of the Holy Spirit. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:4 | Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. | Now there are various kinds of gifts, but there is one and the same Spirit; |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:5 | And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. | various forms of official service, and yet one and the same Lord; |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:6 | And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. | diversities in work, and yet one and the same God He who in each person brings about the whole result. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:7 | But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. | But to each of us a manifestation of the Spirit has been granted for the common good. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:8 | For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; | To one the utterance of wisdom has been granted through the Spirit; to another the utterance of knowledge in accordance with the will of the same Spirit; |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:9 | To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; | to a third man, by means of the same Spirit, special faith; to another various gifts of healing, by means of the one Spirit; |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:10 | 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: | to another the exercise of miraculous powers; to another the gift of prophecy; to another the power of discriminating between prophetic utterances; to another varieties of the gift of `tongues;' to another the interpretation of tongues. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:11 | But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. | But these results are all brought about by one and the same Spirit, who bestows His gifts upon each of us in accordance with His own will. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:12 | 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. | For just as the human body is one and yet has many parts, and all its parts, many as they are, constitute but one body, so it is with the Church of Christ. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:13 | 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. | For, in fact, in one Spirit all of us whether we are Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free men were baptized to form but one body; and we were all nourished by that one Spirit. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:14 | For the body is not one member, but many. | For the human body does not consist of one part, but of many. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:15 | If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? | Were the foot to say, "Because I am not a hand I am not a part of the body," that would not make it any the less a part of the body. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:16 | 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? | Or were the ear to say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," that would not make it any the less a part of the body. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:17 | If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? | If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the nostrils be? |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:18 | But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. | But, as a matter of fact, God has arranged the parts in the body every one of them as He has seen fit. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:19 | And if they were all one member, where were the body? | If they were all one part, where would the body be? |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:20 | But now are they many members, yet but one body. | But, as a matter of fact, there are many parts and but one body. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:21 | 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. | It is also impossible for the eye to say to the hand, "I do not need you;" or again for the head to say to the feet, "I do not need you." |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:22 | Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: | No, it is quite otherwise. Even those parts of the body which are apparently somewhat feeble are yet indispensable; |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:23 | 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. | and those which we deem less honorable we clothe with more abundant honor; and so our ungraceful parts come to have a more abundant grace, while our graceful parts have everything they need. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:24 | For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: | But it was God who built up the body, and bestowed more abundant honor on the part that felt the need, |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:25 | That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. | that there might be no disunion in the body, but that all the members might entertain the same anxious care for one another's welfare. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:26 | And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. | And if one part is suffering, every other part suffers with it; or if one part is receiving special honor, every other part shares in the joy. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:27 | Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. | As for you, you are the body of Christ, and individually you are members of it. |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:28 | 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. | And by God's appointment there are in the Church first Apostles, secondly Prophets, thirdly teachers. Then come miraculous powers, and then ability to cure diseases or render loving service, or powers of organization, or varieties of the gift of `tongues.' |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:29 | Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? | Are all Apostles? Are all Prophets? Are all teachers? |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:30 | Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? | Have all miraculous powers? Have all ability to cure diseases? Do all speak in `tongues'? Do all interpret? |
| 1st-Corinthians 12:31 | But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. | But always seek to excel in the greater gifts. And now I will point out to you a way of life which transcends all others. |
