12:1
de spiritalibus autem nolo vos ignorare fratres

12:2
scitis quoniam cum gentes essetis ad simulacra muta proutducebamini euntes

12:3
ideo notum vobis facio quod nemo in Spiritu Dei loquensdicit anathema Iesu et nemo potest dicere Dominus Iesus nisi inSpiritu Sancto

12:4
divisiones vero gratiarum sunt idem autem Spiritus

12:5
et divisiones ministrationum sunt idem autem Dominus

12:6
et divisiones operationum sunt idem vero Deus qui operaturomnia in omnibus

12:7
unicuique autem datur manifestatio Spiritus ad utilitatem

12:8
alii quidem per Spiritum datur sermo sapientiae alii autemsermo scientiae secundum eundem Spiritum

12:9
alteri fides in eodem Spiritu alii gratia sanitatum in unoSpiritu

12:10
alii operatio virtutum alii prophetatio alii discretiospirituum alii genera linguarum alii interpretatio sermonum

12:11
haec autem omnia operatur unus atque idem Spiritusdividens singulis prout vult

12:12
sicut enim corpus unum est et membra habet multa omniaautem membra corporis cum sint multa unum corpus sunt ita etChristus

12:13
etenim in uno Spiritu omnes nos in unum corpus baptizatisumus sive Iudaei sive gentiles sive servi sive liberi et omnesunum Spiritum potati sumus

12:14
nam et corpus non est unum membrum sed multa

12:15
si dixerit pes quoniam non sum manus non sum de corporenon ideo non est de corpore

12:16
et si dixerit auris quia non sum oculus non sum de corporenon ideo non est de corpore

12:17
si totum corpus oculus ubi auditus si totum auditus ubiodoratus

12:18
nunc autem posuit Deus membra unumquodque eorum in corporesicut voluit

12:19
quod si essent omnia unum membrum ubi corpus

12:20
nunc autem multa quidem membra unum autem corpus

12:21
non potest dicere oculus manui opera tua non indigeo autiterum caput pedibus non estis mihi necessarii

12:22
sed multo magis quae videntur membra corporis infirmioraesse necessariora sunt

12:23
et quae putamus ignobiliora membra esse corporis hishonorem abundantiorem circumdamus et quae inhonesta sunt nostraabundantiorem honestatem habent

12:24
honesta autem nostra nullius egent sed Deus temperavitcorpus ei cui deerat abundantiorem tribuendo honorem

12:25
ut non sit scisma in corpore sed id ipsum pro invicemsollicita sint membra

12:26
et si quid patitur unum membrum conpatiuntur omnia membrasive gloriatur unum membrum congaudent omnia membra

12:27
vos autem estis corpus Christi et membra de membro

012:001
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

012:002
Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

012:003
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.

012:004
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

012:005
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

012:006
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

012:007
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

012:008
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

012:009
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

012:010
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:

012:011
But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

012:012
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.

012:013
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.

012:014
For the body is not one member, but many.

012:015
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

012:016
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?

012:017
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

012:018
But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

012:019
And if they were all one member, where were the body?

012:020
But now are they many members, yet but one body.

012:021
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.

012:022
Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

012:023
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.

012:024
For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.

012:025
That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

012:026
And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

012:027
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

012:028
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.

012:029
Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

012:030
Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

012:031
But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
