1 Corinthians 12:7-21

7A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person for the common good:

8to one is given a message of wisdom through the Spirit, to another, a message of knowledge by the same Spirit,

9to another, faith by the same Spirit, to another, gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

10to another, the performing of miracles, to another, prophecy, to another, distinguishing between spirits, to another, different kinds of tongues, to another, interpretation of tongues.

11One and the same Spirit is active in all these, distributing to each person as he wills.

12For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of that body, though many, are one body — so also is Christ.

13For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body — whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free — and we were all given one Spirit to drink.

14Indeed, the body is not one part but many.

15If the foot should say, “Because I’m not a hand, I don’t belong to the body,” it is not for that reason any less a part of the body.

16And if the ear should say, “Because I’m not an eye, I don’t belong to the body,” it is not for that reason any less a part of the body.

17If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?

18But as it is, God has arranged each one of the parts in the body just as he wanted.

19And if they were all the same part, where would the body be?

20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

21The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” Or again, the head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”
