1 Corinthians 12
1 Now concerning spiritual things, I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers.
περι δε των πνευματικων αδελφοι ου θελω υμας αγνοειν
2 You know that when you were Gentiles, you approached mute idols, doing what you were led to do.
οιδατε οτι εθνη ητε προς τα ειδωλα τα αφωνα ως αν ηγεσθε απαγομενοι
3 Because of this, I would have you know that no one speaking in the Spirit of God utters a curse against Jesus. And no one is able to say that Jesus is Lord, except in the Holy Spirit.
διο γνωριζω υμιν οτι ουδεις εν πνευματι θεου λαλων λεγει αναθεμα ιησουν και ουδεις δυναται ειπειν κυριον ιησουν ει μη εν πνευματι αγιω
4 Truly, there are diverse graces, but the same Spirit.
διαιρεσεις δε χαρισματων εισιν το δε αυτο πνευμα
5 And there are diverse ministries, but the same Lord.
και διαιρεσεις διακονιων εισιν και ο αυτος κυριος
6 And there are diverse works, but the same God, who works everything in everyone.
και διαιρεσεις ενεργηματων εισιν ο δε αυτος εστιν θεος ο ενεργων τα παντα εν πασιν
7 However, the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one toward what is beneficial.
εκαστω δε διδοται η φανερωσις του πνευματος προς το συμφερον
8 Certainly, to one, through the Spirit, is given words of wisdom; but to another, according to the same Spirit, words of knowledge;
ω μεν γαρ δια του πνευματος διδοται λογος σοφιας αλλω δε λογος γνωσεως κατα το αυτο πνευμα
9 to another, in the same Spirit, faith; to another, in the one Spirit, the gift of healing;
ετερω δε πιστις εν τω αυτω πνευματι αλλω δε χαρισματα ιαματων εν τω αυτω πνευματι
10 to another, miraculous works; to another, prophecy; to another, the discernment of spirits; to another, different kinds of languages; to another, the interpretation of words.
αλλω δε ενεργηματα δυναμεων αλλω δε προφητεια αλλω δε διακρισεις πνευματων ετερω δε γενη γλωσσων αλλω δε ερμηνεια γλωσσων
11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one according to his will.
παντα δε ταυτα ενεργει το εν και το αυτο πνευμα διαιρουν ιδια εκαστω καθως βουλεται
12 For just as the body is one, and yet has many parts, so all the parts of the body, though they are many, are only one body. So also is Christ.
καθαπερ γαρ το σωμα εν εστιν και μελη εχει πολλα παντα δε τα μελη του σωματος του ενος πολλα οντα εν εστιν σωμα ουτως και ο χριστος
13 And indeed, in one Spirit, we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether servant or free. And we all drank in the one Spirit.
και γαρ εν ενι πνευματι ημεις παντες εις εν σωμα εβαπτισθημεν ειτε ιουδαιοι ειτε ελληνες ειτε δουλοι ειτε ελευθεροι και παντες εις εν πνευμα εποτισθημεν
14 For the body, too, is not one part, but many.
και γαρ το σωμα ουκ εστιν εν μελος αλλα πολλα
15 If the foot were to say, “Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body,” would it then not be of the body?
εαν ειπη ο πους οτι ουκ ειμι χειρ ουκ ειμι εκ του σωματος ου παρα τουτο ουκ εστιν εκ του σωματος
16 And if the ear were to say, “Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body,” would it then not be of the body?
και εαν ειπη το ους οτι ουκ ειμι οφθαλμος ουκ ειμι εκ του σωματος ου παρα τουτο ουκ εστιν εκ του σωματος
17 If the whole body were the eye, how would it hear? If the whole were hearing, how would it smell?
ει ολον το σωμα οφθαλμος που η ακοη ει ολον ακοη που η οσφρησις
18 But instead, God has placed the parts, each one of them, in the body, just as it has pleased him.
νυνι δε ο θεος εθετο τα μελη εν εκαστον αυτων εν τω σωματι καθως ηθελησεν
19 So if they were all one part, how would it be a body?
ει δε ην τα παντα εν μελος που το σωμα
20 But instead, there are many parts, indeed, yet one body.
νυν δε πολλα μεν μελη εν δε σωμα
21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need for your works.” And again, the head cannot say to the feet, “You are of no use to me.”
ου δυναται δε οφθαλμος ειπειν τη χειρι χρειαν σου ουκ εχω η παλιν η κεφαλη τοις ποσιν χρειαν υμων ουκ εχω
22 In fact, so much more necessary are those parts of the body which seem to be weaker.
αλλα πολλω μαλλον τα δοκουντα μελη του σωματος ασθενεστερα υπαρχειν αναγκαια εστιν
23 And though we consider certain parts of the body to be less noble, we surround these with more abundant dignity, and so, those parts which are less presentable end up with more abundant respect.
και α δοκουμεν ατιμοτερα ειναι του σωματος τουτοις τιμην περισσοτεραν περιτιθεμεν και τα ασχημονα ημων ευσχημοσυνην περισσοτεραν εχει
24 However, our presentable parts have no such need, since God has tempered the body together, distributing the more abundant honor to that which has the need,
τα δε ευσχημονα ημων ου χρειαν εχει αλλ ο θεος συνεκερασεν το σωμα τω υστερουντι περισσοτεραν δους τιμην
25 so that there might be no schism in the body, but instead the parts themselves might take care of one another.
ινα μη η σχισμα εν τω σωματι αλλα το αυτο υπερ αλληλων μεριμνωσιν τα μελη
26 And so, if one part suffers anything, all the parts suffer with it. Or, if one part finds glory, all the parts rejoice with it.
και ειτε πασχει εν μελος συμπασχει παντα τα μελη ειτε δοξαζεται εν μελος συγχαιρει παντα τα μελη
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and parts like any part.
υμεις δε εστε σωμα χριστου και μελη εκ μερους
28 And indeed, God has established a certain order in the Church: first Apostles, second Prophets, third Teachers, next miracle-workers, and then the grace of healing, of helping others, of governing, of different kinds of languages, and of the interpretation of words.
και ους μεν εθετο ο θεος εν τη εκκλησια πρωτον αποστολους δευτερον προφητας τριτον διδασκαλους επειτα δυναμεις ειτα χαρισματα ιαματων αντιληψεις κυβερνησεις γενη γλωσσων
29 Are all Apostles? Are all Prophets? Are all Teachers?
μη παντες αποστολοι μη παντες προφηται μη παντες διδασκαλοι μη παντες δυναμεις
30 Are all workers of miracles? Do all have the grace of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?
μη παντες χαρισματα εχουσιν ιαματων μη παντες γλωσσαις λαλουσιν μη παντες διερμηνευουσιν
31 But be zealous for the better charisms. And I reveal to you a yet more excellent way.
ζηλουτε δε τα χαρισματα τα κρειττονα και ετι καθ υπερβολην οδον υμιν δεικνυμι
