| 1 | Now concerning spirituall giftes, brethren, I would not haue you ignorant. |
| 2 | Yee know that yee were Gentiles, caryed away vnto these dumbe idoles, euen as ye were led. |
| 3 | Wherefore I giue you to vnderstand, that no man speaking by the spirit of God, calleth Iesus accursed: and that no man can say that Iesus is the Lord, but by the holy Ghost. |
| 4 | Nowe there are diuersities of gifts, but the same spirit. |
| 5 | And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. |
| 6 | And there are diuersities of operations, but it is the same God, which worketh all in all. |
| 7 | But the manifestation of the spirit, is giuen to euery man to profit withall. |
| 8 | For to one is giuen by the spirit, the word of wisedome, to another the word of knowledge, by the same spirit. |
| 9 | To another faith, by the same spirit: to another the gifts of healing, by the same spirit: |
| 10 | To another the working of miracles, to another prophecie, to another discerning of spirits, to another diuers kindes of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. |
| 11 | But all these worketh that one and the selfe same spirit, diuiding to euery man seuerally as he will. |
| 12 | For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the membrs of that one body, being many, are one bodie: so also is Christ. |
| 13 | For by one spirit are we all baptized into one bodie, whether wee bee Iewes or Gentiles, whether wee bee bond or free: and haue beene all made to drinke into one spirit. |
| 14 | For the body is not one member, but many. |
| 15 | If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body: is it therefore not of the body? |
| 16 | And if the eare shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body: is it therefore not of the body? |
| 17 | If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? |
| 18 | But now hath God set the members, euery one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. |
| 19 | And if they were all one member, where were the body? |
| 20 | But now are they many members, yet but one body. |
| 21 | And the eye cannot say vnto the hand, I haue no need of thee: nor againe, the head to the feete, I haue no neede of you. |
| 22 | Nay, much more those members of the bodie, which seeme to bee more feeble, are necessary. |
| 23 | And those members of the bodie, which wee thinke to bee lesse honourable, vpon these we bestow more abundant honour, and our vncomely parts haue more abundant comelinesse. |
| 24 | For our comely parts haue no need: but God hath tempered the bodie together, hauing giuen more abundant honour to that part which lacked: |
| 25 | That there should be no schisme in the body: but that the members should haue the same care one for another. |
| 26 | And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it: or one member be honoured, all the members reioyce with it. |
| 27 | Now yee are the body of Christ, and members in particular. |
| 28 | And God hath set some in the Church, first Apostles, secondarily Prophets, thirdly Teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helpes in gouernmēts, diuersities of tongues. |
| 29 | Are all Apostles? are all Prophets? are all Teachers? are all workers of miracles? |
| 30 | Haue all the gifts of healing? doe all speake with tongues? doe all interpret? |
| 31 | But couet earnestly the best gifts: And yet shew I vnto you a more excellent way. |
