1 Corinthians 12:7-21

7NowG1161 to each oneG1538 theG3588 manifestationG5321 of theG3588 SpiritG4151 is givenG1325 forG4314 theG3588 common goodG4851. 8To oneG3739 there is givenG1325 throughG1223 theG3588 SpiritG4151 the messageG3056 of wisdomG4678, to anotherG243 the messageG3056 of knowledgeG1108 byG2596 theG3588 sameG846 SpiritG4151, 9to anotherG2087 faithG4102 byG1722 theG3588 sameG846 SpiritG4151, to anotherG243 giftsG5486 of healingG2386 byG1722 thatG3588 oneG1520 SpiritG4151, 10to anotherG243 the workingG1755 of miraclesG1411, to anotherG243 prophecyG4394, to anotherG243 distinguishingG1253 between spiritsG4151, to anotherG2087 speaking in various tonguesG1085G1100, andG1161 to still anotherG243 the interpretationG2058 of tonguesG1100. 11AllG3956 theseG3778 are the workG1754 of oneG1520 andG2532 theG3588 sameG846 SpiritG4151, who apportionsG1244 them to eachG1538 oneG2398 asG2531 He determinesG1014.

TheG3588 bodyG4983 isG1510 a unitG1520, thoughG2532 it is composedG2192 of manyG4183 partsG3196. AndG1161G3588 although its partsG3196 areG1510 manyG4183, they allG3956 formG1510 oneG1520 bodyG4983. SoG3779 it is with ChristG5547. 13ForG1063 inG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 weG1473 were all baptizedG3956G907 intoG1519 oneG1520 bodyG4983, whetherG1535 JewsG2453 orG1535 GreeksG1672, slaveG1401 orG1535 freeG1658, andG2532 we were all givenG3956G4222 oneG1520 Spirit to drinkG4151.

14ForG1063 theG3588 bodyG4983 does not consistG1510G3756 of oneG1520 partG3196, butG235 of manyG4183. 15IfG1437 theG3588 footG4228 should sayG2036, “BecauseG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 a handG5495, I doG1510 notG3756 belongG1537 to theG3588 bodyG4983,” thatG3844G3778 wouldG1510 notG3756 make it any less a part ofG1537 theG3588 bodyG4983. 16AndG2532 ifG1437 theG3588 earG3775 should sayG2036, “BecauseG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 an eyeG3788, I doG1510 notG3756 belongG1537 to theG3588 bodyG4983,” thatG3844G3778 wouldG1510 notG3756 make it any less a part ofG1537 theG3588 bodyG4983. 17IfG1487 theG3588 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 were an eyeG3788, whereG4226 would theG3588 sense of hearingG189 be? IfG1487 the wholeG3650 body were an earG189, whereG4226 would theG3588 sense of smellG3750 be?

18ButG1161 in factG3570, GodG2316 has arrangedG5087 theG3588 membersG3196 ofG1722 theG3588 bodyG4983, everyG1538 oneG1520 of themG846, according toG2531 His designG2309. 19IfG1487 they wereG1510 allG3956 oneG1520 partG3196, whereG4226 would theG3588 bodyG4983 be? 20As it isG3568G3303, there are manyG4183 partsG3196, butG1161 oneG1520 bodyG4983.

TheG3588 eyeG3788 cannotG3756G1410 sayG2036 to theG3588 handG5495, “I doG2192 notG3756 needG5532 youG4771.” Nor can theG3588 headG2776 say to theG3588 feetG4228, “I doG2192 notG3756 needG5532 youG4771.”
