1 Corinthians 12:3

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.
