\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.
