1 Corinthians 12:7-21

7But to eachG1538 oneG1538 is givenG1325 the manifestationG5321 of the SpiritG4151 1for the commonG4851 goodG4851. 8For to oneG3739G3303 is givenG1325 the wordG3056 of 2wisdomG4678 throughG1223 the SpiritG4151, and to anotherG243 the wordG3056 of 3knowledgeG1108 accordingG2596 to the sameG846 SpiritG4151; 9to anotherG2087 4faithG4102 5by the sameG846 SpiritG4151, and to anotherG243 6giftsG5486 of 7healingG2386 8by the oneG1520 SpiritG4151, 10and to anotherG243 the 9effectingG1755 of 1011miraclesG1411, and to anotherG243 12prophecyG4394, and to anotherG243 the 1314distinguishingG1253 of spiritsG4151, to anotherG2087 various 15kindsG1085 of tonguesG1100, and to anotherG243 the 16interpretationG2058 of tonguesG1100. 11But oneG1520 and the sameG846 SpiritG4151 worksG1754 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 17distributingG1244 to eachG1538 oneG1538 individuallyG2398 justG2531 asG2531 He 18willsG1014.

12For justG2509 19asG2509 the bodyG4983 is oneG1520 and yet hasG2192 manyG4183 partsG3196, and allG3956 the partsG3196 of the bodyG4983, though they are manyG4183, are oneG1520 bodyG4983, 20soG3779 alsoG2532 is ChristG5547. 13For 2122by oneG1520 SpiritG4151 we were allG3956 baptizedG907 into oneG1520 bodyG4983, whetherG1535 23JewsG2453 orG1535 GreeksG1672, whetherG1535 slavesG1401 orG1535 freeG1658, and we were allG3956 madeG4222 toG4222 24drinkG4222 of oneG1520 SpiritG4151.

14For 25the bodyG4983 is not oneG1520 partG3196, but manyG4183. 15IfG1437 the footG4228 saysG3004, “BecauseG3754 I amG1510 not a handG5495, I amG1510 not a part of the bodyG4983,” it is not for thisG3778 reasonG3844 26anyG3756 lessG3756 a part of the bodyG4983. 16And ifG1437 the earG3775 saysG3004, “BecauseG3754 I amG1510 not an eyeG3788, I amG1510 not a part of the bodyG4983,” it is not for thisG3778 reasonG3844 27anyG3756 lessG3756 a part of the bodyG4983. 17IfG1487 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983 were an eyeG3788, whereG4226 would the hearingG189 be? IfG1487 the wholeG3650 body were hearingG189, whereG4226 would the senseG3750 ofG3750 smellG3750 be? 18But nowG3568 GodG2316 has 28arrangedG5087 the partsG3196, eachG1538 oneG1520 of them in the bodyG4983, 29justG2531 asG2531 He desiredG2309. 19IfG1487 they were allG3956 oneG1520 partG3196, whereG4226 would the bodyG4983 be? 20But nowG3568 30there are manyG4183 partsG3196, but oneG1520 bodyG4983. 21And the eyeG3788 cannotG1410G3756 sayG3004 to the handG5495, “I haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of you”; orG2228 againG3825, the headG2776 to the feetG4228, “I haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of you.”
