Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says “Let Jesus be cursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit.(A)

Now there are varieties of gifts but the same Spirit,(B) and there are varieties of services but the same Lord,(C) and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.(D) To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit,(E) to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,(F) 10 to another the working of powerful deeds, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.(G) 11 All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses.(H)

One Body with Many Members

12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.(I) 13 For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.(J)

Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,”(A) and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,”(B) except by the Holy Spirit.(C)

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit(D) distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone(E) it is the same God(F) at work.

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.(G) To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom,(H) to another a message of knowledge(I) by means of the same Spirit, to another faith(J) by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing(K) by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers,(L) to another prophecy,(M) to another distinguishing between spirits,(N) to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a](O) and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit,(P) and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

Unity and Diversity in the Body

12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body,(Q) so it is with Christ.(R) 13 For we were all baptized(S) by[c] one Spirit(T) so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free(U)—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.(V)

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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:

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

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.

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.
