1 Corinthians 12 Bible text

ASV: 1ASV

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

ASV: 2ASV

Ye know that when ye were Gentiles ye were led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led.

ASV: 3ASV

Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit.

ASV: 4ASV

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

ASV: 5ASV

And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord.

ASV: 6ASV

And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all.

ASV: 7ASV

But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.

ASV: 8ASV

For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:

ASV: 9ASV

to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;

ASV: 10ASV

and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another divers kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:

ASV: 11ASV

but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.

ASV: 12ASV

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

ASV: 13ASV

For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.

ASV: 14ASV

For the body is not one member, but many.

ASV: 15ASV

If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.

ASV: 16ASV

And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.

ASV: 17ASV

If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

ASV: 18ASV

But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.

ASV: 19ASV

And if they were all one member, where were the body?

ASV: 20ASV

But now they are many members, but one body.

ASV: 21ASV

And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

ASV: 22ASV

Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:

ASV: 23ASV

and those parts of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness;

ASV: 24ASV

whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked;

ASV: 25ASV

that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

ASV: 26ASV

And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

ASV: 27ASV

Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.

ASV: 28ASV

And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues.

ASV: 29ASV

Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

ASV: 30ASV

have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

ASV: 31ASV

But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you.
