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.
