| 1Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. | 1Now concerning spiritual gifts: brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be unaware. |
| 2You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. | 2You know that when you were pagans, you used to be enticed and led astray by mute idols. |
| 3Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. | 3Therefore I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. |
| 4There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. | 4Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit. |
| 5There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. | 5There are different ministries, but the same Lord. |
| 6There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. | 6And there are different activities, but the same God produces each gift in each person. |
| 7Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. | 7A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person for the common good: |
| 8To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, | 8to one is given a message of wisdom through the Spirit, to another, a message of knowledge by the same Spirit, |
| 9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, | 9to another, faith by the same Spirit, to another, gifts of healing by the one Spirit, |
| 10to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. | 10to another, the performing of miracles, to another, prophecy, to another, distinguishing between spirits, to another, different kinds of tongues, to another, interpretation of tongues. |
| 11All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. | 11One and the same Spirit is active in all these, distributing to each person as he wills. |
| 12Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. | 12For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of that body, though many, are one body--so also is Christ. |
| 13For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body--whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free--and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. | 13For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free--and we were all given one Spirit to drink. |
| 14Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many. | 14Indeed, the body is not one part but many. |
| 15Now if the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. | 15If the foot should say, "Because I'm not a hand, I don't belong to the body," it is not for that reason any less a part of the body. |
| 16And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. | 16And if the ear should say, "Because I'm not an eye, I don't belong to the body," it is not for that reason any less a part of the body. |
| 17If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? | 17If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? |
| 18But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. | 18But as it is, God has arranged each one of the parts in the body just as he wanted. |
| 19If they were all one part, where would the body be? | 19And if they were all the same part, where would the body be? |
| 20As it is, there are many parts, but one body. | 20As it is, there are many parts, but one body. |
| 21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" | 21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" Or again, the head can't say to the feet, "I don't need you!" |
| 22On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, | 22On the contrary, those parts of the body that are weaker are indispensable. |
| 23and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, | 23And those parts of the body that we consider less honorable, we clothe these with greater honor, and our unrespectable parts are treated with greater respect, |
| 24while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, | 24which our respectable parts do not need. Instead, God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the less honorable, |
| 25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. | 25so that there would be no division in the body, but that the members would have the same concern for each other. |
| 26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. | 26So if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. |
| 27Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. | 27Now you are the body of Christ, and individual members of it. |
| 28And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. | 28And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, various kinds of tongues. |
| 29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? | 29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all do miracles? |
| 30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? | 30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in other tongues? Do all interpret? |
| 31Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way. | 31But desire the greater gifts. And I will show you an even better way. |
