1 Now concerning the things of the Spirit, brethren, I do not wish that you be ignorant.2 You know that you were once a people being taken away with yourselves, as you had been taken away to dumb idols.3 Therefore I explain to you that no one speaking in the Spirit of Yahweh says, 'Accursed is Yahshua'; and no one is able to say 'Prince Yahshua' except by the Holy Spirit.4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit;5 and there are diversities of services, and the same Prince;6 and there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God who operates all things in all.7 And to each is given manifestation of the Spirit towards that which is advantageous.8 While to one through the Spirit a word of wisdom is given, then to another a word of knowledge, down through the same Spirit;9 and to another faith, in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of the means of healing, in the same Spirit;10 and to another operations of power, and to another interpretation of prophecy, and to another dissolution of spirits, to another sorts of languages, and to another interpretation of languages.11 But all these things one and the same Spirit operates, dividing personally to each just as He wills.12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also the Anointed.13 For also in one Spirit all we into one body have been immersed, whether Judaeans or Greeks, whether bondmen or freemen, and all one Spirit have been watered.14 For also the body is not one member, but many.15 If perhaps the foot may say, 'Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body', because of this is it not of the body?16 And if perhaps the ear may say, 'Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body', because of this is it not of the body?17 If the whole body were an eye, where is the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where is the sense of smell?18 But now Yahweh places the members, each one of them in the body, just as He wishes.19 But if all would be one member, where is the body?20 And now indeed many are members, yet are one body.21 And the eye is not able to say to the hand, 'I have no need of you'; or again the head to the feet, 'I have no need of you',22 But still much more, those members of the body imagined to be too weak are necessary;23 And those of the body which we imagine to be less valuable, upon these we confer more abundant dignity; and those unseemly of us have more abundant elegance.24 But the elegant of us have no need. Rather Yahweh has tempered the body together, giving more abundant esteem to that which is wanting,25 in order that there would not be division in the body, but the members would have the same concern for one another.26 And if one member is affected, all the members are affected together; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice together.27 So then, you are an anointed body, and members by destiny.28 And while Yahweh places these in the assembly: firstly ambassadors, secondly interpreters of prophecy, thirdly teachers, after that those with abilities, then gifts of the means of healing, supports, guides, sorts of languages.29 Are all ambassadors? Are all interpreters of prophecy? Are all teachers? Are all able?30 Do all have gifts of the means of healing? Do all speak in languages? Do all interpret?31 Now you admire the better gifts, and yet I show to you a way just as excellent.
