ULT 1COR Chapter 12

12 Now about the spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant. 2 You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the mute idols, in whatever ways you were led. 3 Therefore, I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed,” and no one is able to say, “Jesus is 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 workings, but the same God working all things in everyone. 7 Now to each one is given the outward display of the Spirit for the collective benefit. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit a word of wisdom, and to another, a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9 to another, faith by the same Spirit; and to another, gifts of healing by the one Spirit; 10 and to another, workings of power; to another, prophecy; to another, discernments of spirits; to another, kinds of tongues; and to another, interpretation of tongues. 11 But the one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing them to each one individually just as he desires.

12 For even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. 13 For indeed by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bound or free, and all were made to drink one Spirit. 14 For indeed the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot would say, “Since I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” not for this it is not of the body. 16 And if the ear would say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” not for this it is not of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But now God appointed the members, each one of them, in the body just as he desired. 19 But if they were all one member, where would the body be? 20 But now there are many members, but one body. 21 Now the eye is not able to say to the hand, “I do not have need of you,” or again, the head to the feet, “I do not have need of you.” 22 On the contrary, the members of the body appearing to be weaker are much more essential; 23 and those of the body which we think to be less honorable, we bestow them greater honor; and our unpresentable members have more dignity; 24 but our presentable members do not have need. But God has combined the body together, giving more honor to the one lacking it 25 so that there may be no division within the body, but that the members should care for one another the same. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer together; if a member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. 28 And God has indeed appointed some in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, administration, and various kinds of tongues. 29 Not all are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they? Not all are teachers, are they? Not all do miracles, do they? 30 Not all have gifts of healing, do they? Not all speak in tongues, do they? Not all interpret, do they? 31 But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And now, I show you a more excellent way.
