34IF NOW ANYONE IS HUNGRY, AT HOME HE SHOULD EAT, SO THAT NOT FOR JUDGMENT YOU MAY COME TOGETHER. <THE> AND THE OTHER THINGS AS SOON AS WHEN I MAY COME I WILL SET IN ORDER. 34If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you come together it will not result in judgment. And when I come, I will give instructions about the remaining matters.
1CONCERNING NOW <THE> SPIRITUAL [GIFTS], BROTHERS, NOT I DO WANT YOU TO BE IGNORANT. Spiritual Gifts 1Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.
2YOU KNOW THAT WHEN PAGANS YOU WERE TO <THE> IDOLS <THE> MUTE EVEN AS MAYBE YOU WERE LED BEING CARRIED AWAY. 2You know that when you were pagans, you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.
3THEREFORE I MAKE KNOWN TO YOU THAT NO [ONE] IN [THE] SPIRIT OF GOD SPEAKING SAYS: ACCURSED [IS] JESUS, AND NO [ONE] IS ABLE TO SAY: LORD JESUS [IS], ONLY EXCEPT IN [THE] SPIRIT HOLY. 3Therefore I inform you 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.
4VARIETIES NOW OF GIFTS THERE ARE, <THE> BUT THE SAME SPIRIT; 4There are different gifts, but the same Spirit.
5AND VARIETIES OF SERVICES THERE ARE, BUT THE SAME LORD; 5There are different ministries, but the same Lord.
6AND VARIETIES OF WORKINGS THERE ARE, THE BUT SAME IS GOD WHO IS WORKING THE ALL THINGS IN EVERYONE. 6There are different ways of working, but the same God works all things in all people.
7TO EACH NOW IS GIVEN THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SPIRIT FOR THE COMMON PROFITING. 7Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
8TO ONE INDEED FOR THROUGH THE SPIRIT IS GIVEN A WORD OF WISDOM, TO ANOTHER HOWEVER A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE ACCORDING TO THE SAME SPIRIT, 8To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit,
9TO A DIFFERENT ONE NOW FAITH BY THE SAME SPIRIT, TO ANOTHER NOW GIFTS OF HEALING IN THAT ONE SPIRIT, 9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
10TO ANOTHER NOW WORKING OF MIRACLES, TO ANOTHER NOW PROPHECY, TO ANOTHER NOW DISTINGUISHING OF SPIRITS, TO A DIFFERENT ONE NOW VARIOUS KINDS OF TONGUES, TO ANOTHER NOW INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES; 10to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
11ALL NOW THESE THINGS WORKS THE ONE AND THE SAME SPIRIT APPORTIONING INDIVIDUALLY TO EACH EVEN AS HE WILLS. 11All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, who apportions them to each one as He determines.
12JUST AS FOR THE BODY ONE IS AND MEMBERS MANY HAS ALL NOW THE MEMBERS OF THE BODY OF THE ONE MANY BEING ONE ARE BODY, SO ALSO [IS] <THE> CHRIST. The Body of Christ 12The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.
13ALSO FOR IN ONE SPIRIT WE OURSELVES ALL INTO ONE BODY WERE BAPTIZED, WHETHER JEWS OR GREEKS WHETHER SLAVES OR FREE, AND ALL INTO ONE SPIRIT WE WERE MADE TO DRINK. 13For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free, and we were all given one Spirit to drink.
14ALSO FOR THE BODY NOT IS ONE MEMBER BUT MANY. 14For the body does not consist of one part, but of many.
15IF SHALL SAY THE FOOT; BECAUSE NOT I AM A HAND, NOT I AM OF THE BODY, NOT ON ACCOUNT OF THIS NOT IS IT OF THE BODY? 15If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body, ” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
16AND IF SHALL SAY THE EAR; BECAUSE NOT I AM AN EYE, NOT I AM OF THE BODY, NOT ON ACCOUNT OF THIS NOT IS IT OF THE BODY? 16And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body, ” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
17IF ALL THE BODY [WERE] AN EYE, WHERE [WOULD BE] THE HEARING? IF ALL [WERE] HEARING, WHERE [WOULD BE] THE SENSE OF SMELL? 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?
18NOW HOWEVER <THE> GOD HAS ARRANGED THE MEMBERS, ONE EACH OF THEM IN THE BODY EVEN AS HE DESIRED. 18But in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design.
19IF NOW WERE <THE> ALL ONE MEMBER, WHERE [WOULD BE] THE BODY? 19If they were all one part, where would the body be?
20NOW HOWEVER MANY INDEED [ARE THE] MEMBERS, [THERE IS] ONE HOWEVER BODY. 20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21NOT IS ABLE NOW THE EYE TO SAY TO THE HAND; NEED OF YOU NOT I HAVE, OR AGAIN THE HEAD TO THE FEET; NEED OF YOU NOT I HAVE; 21The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you. ” Nor can the head say to the feet, “I do not need you. ”
22BUT MUCH RATHER THOSE SEEMING MEMBERS OF THE BODY WEAKER TO BE INDISPENSABLE ARE, 22On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
23AND THOSE WHICH WE THINK LESS HONORABLE TO BE OF THE BODY, THESE HONOR MORE EXCESSIVE WE BESTOW, AND THE UNPRESENTABLE [PARTS] OF US DECORUM MORE EXCESSIVE HAVE; 23and the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor. And our unpresentable parts are treated with special modesty,
24<THE> AND THE PRESENTABLE [PARTS] OF US NO NEED HAVE. BUT <THE> GOD [WHO] HAS COMPOSED THE BODY TO THAT WHICH IS BECOME LACKING MORE EXCESSIVE HAVING GIVEN HONOR, 24whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has composed the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
25SO THAT NOT THERE MAY BE DIVISION IN THE BODY, BUT THE SAME FOR ONE ANOTHER MAY HAVE CONCERN THE MEMBERS; 25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its members should have mutual concern for one another.
26AND IF SUFFERS ONE MEMBER, SUFFER WITH [IT] ALL THE MEMBERS; IF IS HONORED ONE MEMBER, REJOICE WITH [IT] ALL THE MEMBERS. 26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27YOU YOURSELVES NOW ARE [THE] BODY OF CHRIST AND MEMBERS IN PARTICULAR. The Greater Gifts 27Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it.
28AND SOME INDEED HAS APPOINTED <THE> GOD IN THE CHURCH FIRST APOSTLES, SECONDLY PROPHETS, THIRD TEACHERS, THEN MIRACLES, THEN GIFTS OF HEALING, HELPING, ADMINISTRATING, VARIOUS KINDS OF TONGUES. 28And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, and those with gifts of healing, helping, administration, and various tongues.
29SURELY NOT ALL [ARE] APOSTLES? SURELY NOT ALL [ARE] PROPHETS? SURELY NOT ALL [ARE] TEACHERS? SURELY NOT ALL [DO] MIRACLES? 29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?
30SURELY NOT ALL GIFTS HAVE OF HEALINGS? SURELY NOT ALL IN TONGUES DO SPEAK? SURELY NOT ALL DO INTERPRET? 30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?
31DO BE DESIROUS OF HOWEVER THE GIFTS <THE> GREATER. AND NOW ACCORDING TO A MORE SURPASSING WAY TO YOU I SHOW. 31But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way.
