1But concerning spiritual [manifestations], brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant.

1And concerning the spiritual things, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant;

1Now concerning spiritualgifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

2Ye know that when ye were [of the] nations [ye were] led away to dumb idols, in whatever way ye might be led.

2ye have known that ye were nations, unto the dumb idols--as ye were led--being carried away;

2Ye know that when ye were Gentiles ye were led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led.

3I give you therefore to know, that no one, speaking in [the power of the] Spirit ofGod, says, Curse [on] Jesus; and no one can say, Lord Jesus, unless in [the power of the] Holy Spirit.

3wherefore, I give you to understand that no one, in the Spirit of God speaking, saith Jesus <FI>is<Fi> anathema, and no one is able to say Jesus <FI>is<Fi> Lord, except in the Holy Spirit.

3Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit.

4But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit;

4And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit;

4Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

5and there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord;

5and there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord;

5And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord.

6and there are distinctions of operations, but the sameGod who operates all things in all.

6and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God--who is working the all in all.

6And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all.

7But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit.

7And to each hath been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit;

7But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.

8For to one, by the Spirit, is given [the] word of wisdom; and to another [the] word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

8for to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

8For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:

9and to a different one faith, in [the power of] the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healing in [the power of] the same Spirit;

9and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit;

9to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;

10and to another operations of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; and to a different one kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues.

10and to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another <FI>divers<Fi> kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues:

10and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another divers kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:

11But all these things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases.

11and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth.

11but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.

12For 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] the Christ.

12For, even as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also <FI>is<Fi> the Christ,

12For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

13For also in [the power of] one Spirit we have all been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or free, and have all been given to drink of one Spirit.

13for also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all into one Spirit were made to drink,

13For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.

14For also the body is not one member but many.

14for also the body is not one member, but many;

14For the body is not one member, but many.

15If the foot say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body?

15if the foot may say, `Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body;

15If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.

16And if the ear say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body?

16and if the ear may say, `Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body?

16And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.

17If the whole body [were] an eye, where the hearing? if all hearing, where the smelling?

17If the whole body <FI>were<Fi> an eye, where the hearing? if the whole hearing, where the smelling?

17If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

18But nowGod has set the members, each one of them in the body, according as it has pleased [him].

18and now, God did set the members each one of them in the body, according as He willed,

18But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.

19But if all were one member, where the body?

19and if all were one member, where the body?

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

20But now the members [are] many, and the body one.

20and now, indeed, <FI>are<Fi> many members, and one body;

20But now they are many members, but one body.

21The eye cannot say to the hand, I have not need of thee; or again, the head to the feet, I have not need of you.

21and an eye is not able to say to the hand, `I have no need of thee;' nor again the head to the feet, `I have no need of you.'

21And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

22But much rather, the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;

22But much more the members of the body which seem to be more infirm are necessary,

22Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:

23and those [parts] of the body which we esteem to be the more void of honour, these we clothe with more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness;

23and those that we think to be less honourable of the body, around these we put more abundant honour, and our unseemly things have seemliness more abundant,

23and those parts of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness;

24but our comely [parts] have not need. ButGod has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to [the part] that lacked;

24and our seemly things have no need; but God did temper the body together, to the lacking part having given more abundant honour,

24whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked;

25that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern one for another.

25that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another,

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

26And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with [it]; and if one member be glorified, all the members rejoice with [it].

26and whether one member doth suffer, suffer with <FI>it<Fi> do all the members, or one member is glorified, rejoice with <FI>it<Fi> do all the members;

26And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

27Now ye are Christ's body, and members in particular.

27and ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

27Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.

28AndGod has set certain in the assembly: first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then miraculous powers; then gifts of healings; helps; governments; kinds of tongues.

28And some, indeed, did God set in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterwards powers, afterwards gifts of healings, helpings, governings, divers kinds of tongues;

28And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues.

29[Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all [in possession of] miraculous powers?

29<FI> are<Fi> all apostles? <FI>are<Fi> all prophets? <FI>are<Fi> all teachers? <FI>are<Fi> all powers?

29Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

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

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

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

31But desire earnestly the greater gifts, and yet shew I unto you a way of more surpassing excellence.

31and desire earnestly the better gifts; and yet a far excelling way do I shew to you:

31But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you.
