Spiritual Gifts: Unity in Diversity

1 Now aconcerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant:  
2 You know athat you were Gentiles, carried away to these bdumb idols, however you were led.  
3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus1 accursed, and ano one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.  
4 aThere are1 diversities of gifts, but bthe same Spirit.  
5 aThere are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.  
6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God awho works all in all.  
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:
8 for to one is given athe word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another bthe word of knowledge through the same Spirit,  
9 ato another faith by the same Spirit, to another bgifts of healings by the same Spirit,  
10 ato another the working of miracles, to another bprophecy, to another cdiscerning of spirits, to another ddifferent kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.  
11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, adistributing to each one individually bas He wills.  

Unity and Diversity in One Body

12 For aas the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, bso also is Christ.  
13 For aby one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—bwhether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and chave all been made to drink into one Spirit.  
14 For in fact the body is not one member but many.
15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body?
16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?
18 But now aGod has set the members, each one of them, in the body bjust as He pleased.  
19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be?
20 But now indeed there are many members, yet one body.
21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
23 And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty,
24 but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it,
25 that there should be no1 schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.  
26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now ayou are the body of Christ, and bmembers individually.  
28 And aGod has appointed these in the church: first bapostles, second cprophets, third teachers, after that dmiracles, then egifts of healings, fhelps, gadministrations, varieties of tongues.  
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?
30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
31 But aearnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.
