Christian Standard Bible

1Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant:

1Now concerning spiritual gifts: brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be unaware.

2You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led.

2You know that when you were pagans, you used to be enticed and led astray by mute idols.

3Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that 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 diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

4Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit.

5There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.

5There are different ministries, but the same Lord.

6And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.

6And there are different activities, but the same God produces each gift in each person.

7But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:

7A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person for the common good:

8for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through 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 healings by the same Spirit,

9to another, faith by the same Spirit, to another, gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

10to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to 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.

11But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

11One and the same Spirit is active in all these, distributing to each person as he wills.

12For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is 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 by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.

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.

14For in fact the body is not one member but many.

14Indeed, the body is not one part but many.

15If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not 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 am not of the body,” is it therefore not 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 be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?

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 now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.

18But as it is, God has arranged each one of the parts in the body just as he wanted.

19And if they were all one member, where would the body be?

19And if they were all the same part, where would the body be?

20But now indeed there are many members, yet one body.

20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

21And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of 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!"

22No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

22On the contrary, those parts of the body that are weaker are indispensable.

23And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater 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,

24but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it,

24which our respectable parts do not need. Instead, God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the less honorable,

25that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

25so that there would be no division in the body, but that the members would have the same concern for each other.

26And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice 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 members individually.

27Now you are the body of Christ, and individual members of it.

28And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties 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? Are all workers of miracles?

29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all do miracles?

30Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in other tongues? Do all interpret?

31But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

31But desire the greater gifts. And I will show you an even better way.
