\subsection{I Corinthians 12}
\VS{1} Now concerning spiritual [things], brothers, I do not want you to be being ignorant. 
\VS{2} You know that when you were nations\footnote{i.e. Gentiles} before 
the dumb idols, [you were] being carried off even as you were led. 
\VS{3} Therefore I 
make know to you that no one speaking in [the] spirit of God says: Jesus [is] 
accursed\footnote{i.e. something devoted to evil}, and no one is able to say 
Jesus [is] Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

\VS{4} Now there are differences of gifts, but the same spirit. 
\VS{5} And there are differences of service, and the same Lord. 
\VS{6} And there are differences of effects, but the same God who effects 
everything in everything. 
\VS{7} So to each is given the manifestation of the spirit 
toward the profitable. 
\VS{8} For to one through the spirit is given [the] word 
of wisdom, to another [the] word of knowledge according to the same spirit, 
\VS{9} to another faith by the same spirit, and to another 
gifts\footnote{from GRACE} of healing by the same spirit, 
\VS{10} and to 
another effecting of powers, to another prophecy, to another 
discernment\footnote{or ``recognizing''} of spirits, to another [various] kinds of 
tongues, to another [the] interpretation of tongues. 
\VS{11} But one and the same 
spirit effects all these, distributing to each individual just as he 
intends. 
\VS{12} For just as the body is one and it has many parts, but all 
the parts of the body being many are one body, so also [is] the Christ. 
\VS{13} For by the one spirit we all have been baptized into one body, whether Jew 
or Greek, whether slave or free, and we have all been made to drink one 
spirit. 
\VS{14} For the body is not one member but many. 
\VS{15} If the foot 
say: Because I [am] not [a] hand, I am not of the body, not for this [reason] is it not of 
the body. 
\VS{16} And if the ear say: Because I [am] not [an] eye, I am not of the 
body, not for this [reason] is it not of the body. 
\VS{17} If the whole body is [an] 
eye, where [is] the hearing? If the whole [is] hearing, where is smell? 
\VS{18} But 
now has God placed the members, each one of them in the body, just as he 
wanted. 
\VS{19} But if they were all one [type of] member, where [is] the body? 
\VS{20} 
But now [they are] many members, but one body. 
\VS{21} So the eye is not able to say 
to the hand: I have no need [of you], or again the head to the feet: I have no need 
[of you]. 
\VS{22} But rather more the members of the body seeming weaker are more 
necessary, 
\VS{23} and what we suppose to be less honorable, to this one we 
bestow greater honor, and our improper [members] have greater propriety, 
\VS{24} and 
our proper [members] have no need \footnote{add ``of honor'' D}. But God has blended 
the body, having given greater honor to the [member] that lacked, 
\VS{25} In order 
that there be no division in the body, but [in order that] the members have the same 
concern for one another. 
\VS{26} And if one member suffers, all the members 
suffer, or [one] member is glorified, all the members rejoice. 
\VS{27} So you are 
[the] body of Christ and members in particular. 
\VS{28} And in the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} has God 
placed first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then powers, then 
gifts\footnote{from GRACE} of healing, helps, administrations, [various] kinds of 
tongues. 
\VS{29} [are] all apostles?\footnote{grammer indicates ``no'' answer 
expected or expresses uncertainty} [are] all prophets?\footnote{grammer indicates 
``no'' answer expected or expresses uncertainty} Do all speak in 
tongues?\footnote{grammer indicates ``no'' answer expected or expresses 
uncertainty} Do all interpret?\footnote{grammer indicates ``no'' answer 
expected or expresses uncertainty} 

\VS{31} So, be seeking the greater gifts\footnote{from GRACE}. And yet I 
show you [a] far-better way.
