Spiritual Gifts

12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that [fn]when you were pagans you were somehow enticed and led astray to mute idols. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God [fn]calls Jesus accursed, and no one can [fn]call Jesus Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of ministries, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers all of them in everyone. 7 A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person for the benefit of all. 8 To one person there is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the [fn]same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these gifts are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who distributes to each person individually just as he wills.
