12 Now brothers and sisters, I don’t want you all to be ignorant about spiritual matters. 2 You all know that when you were still pagans, you were enticed and led astray in front of idols that can’t even speak. 3 So now I’m informing you all that a person who curses Yeshua, doesn’t speak with the power of God’s spirit. On the other hand, a person who says that Yeshua is master must be speaking with the power of the holy spirit.

4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same spirit,[ref] 5 and there are varieties of ministries, but the same master. 6 There are varieties of activities, but the same God works all things in everyone. 7 Now the display of the spirit’s power is given to each person in order to benefit everyone. 8 One person might be given a wise message through the spirit, and someone else given certain knowledge by the same spirit. 9 Another person might be given faith by the same spirit, and someone else given gifts of healings from that one spirit. 10 Another might be given the ability to do miracles, and someone else given prophecy. Another might be given ability to distinguish spirits, and someone else given the ability to speak other languages, and to yet another the ability to translate languages. 11 However it’s the one and the same spirit behind all those things—distributing them individually to each person as the spirit decides.
