< 1 Corinthians 12 >

1 Now concerning the spiritual things, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.
περι δε των πνευματικων αδελφοι ου θελω υμας αγνοειν
2 You know that when you were pagans you were always led toward the mute idols, being carried away.
οιδατε οτι οτε εθνη ητε προς τα ειδωλα τα αφωνα ως αν ηγεσθε απαγομενοι
3 Therefore I inform you that no one speaking by God's Spirit calls Jesus accursed, and no one can declare Jesus to be Lord except by 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 Now there are allotments of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit.
διαιρεσεις δε χαρισματων εισιν το δε αυτο πνευμα
5 And there are allotments of ministries, and the same Lord.
και διαιρεσεις διακονιων εισιν και ο αυτος κυριος
6 And there are allotments of activities, but the same God is He who works them all, in all.
και διαιρεσεις ενεργηματων εισιν ο δε αυτος εστιν θεος ο ενεργων τα παντα εν πασιν
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the common good.
εκαστω δε διδοται η φανερωσις του πνευματος προς το συμφερον
8 So to one a word of wisdom is given, by the Spirit; to another a word of knowledge, by the same Spirit;
ω μεν γαρ δια του πνευματος διδοται λογος σοφιας αλλω δε λογος γνωσεως κατα το αυτο πνευμα
9 to a different one faith, by the same Spirit; to another presents of healings, by the same Spirit;
ετερω δε πιστις εν τω αυτω πνευματι αλλω δε χαρισματα ιαματων εν τω αυτω πνευματι
10 to another workings of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discernings of spirits; to a different one kinds of languages, to another interpretation of languages.
αλλω δε ενεργηματα δυναμεων αλλω δε προφητεια αλλω δε διακρισεις πνευματων ετερω δε γενη γλωσσων αλλω δε ερμηνεια γλωσσων
11 However, the one and the same Spirit produces all of these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.
παντα δε ταυτα ενεργει το εν και το αυτο πνευμα διαιρουν ιδια εκαστω καθως βουλεται
12 Now just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, though being many, are one body, so also is the 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 For we also were all baptized into one body by one Spirit—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and were all given to drink into 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 in fact the body is not one part but many.
και γαρ το σωμα ουκ εστιν εν μελος αλλα πολλα
15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” it would not therefore cease to 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 should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” it would not therefore cease to 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 an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?
ει ολον το σωμα οφθαλμος που η ακοη ει ολον ακοη που η οσφρησις
18 But God has really placed the members in the body, each one of them, just as He pleased.
νυνι δε ο θεος εθετο τα μελη εν εκαστον αυτων εν τω σωματι καθως ηθελησεν
19 (If the whole were just one member, where would the body be?
ει δε ην τα παντα εν μελος που το σωμα
20 But in fact the parts are many but the body one.)
νυν δε πολλα μεν μελη εν δε σωμα
21 Further, the eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I do not need you.”
ου δυναται δε οφθαλμος ειπειν τη χειρι χρειαν σου ουκ εχω η παλιν η κεφαλη τοις ποσιν χρειαν υμων ουκ εχω
22 Much to the contrary, those members of the body that seem to be weaker are necessary.
αλλα πολλω μαλλον τα δοκουντα μελη του σωματος ασθενεστερα υπαρχειν αναγκαια εστιν
23 And the parts of the body that we consider to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentables have special modesty,
και α δοκουμεν ατιμοτερα ειναι του σωματος τουτοις τιμην περισσοτεραν περιτιθεμεν και τα ασχημονα ημων ευσχημοσυνην περισσοτεραν εχει
24 while our presentables do not need it. Yes, God has blended the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacks it,
τα δε ευσχημονα ημων ου χρειαν εχει αλλ ο θεος συνεκερασεν το σωμα τω υστερουντι περισσοτεραν δους τιμην
25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another;
ινα μη η σχισμα εν τω σωματι αλλα το αυτο υπερ αλληλων μεριμνωσιν τα μελη
26 and if one member suffers, all the members should suffer along, or if one member is honored, all the members should rejoice along.
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 members individually.
υμεις δε εστε σωμα χριστου και μελη εκ μερους
28 And those whom God has appointed in the Church are: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers; after that miracles, then presents of healings, helps, administrations, kinds of languages.
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 All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not miracle workers, are they?
μη παντες αποστολοι μη παντες προφηται μη παντες διδασκαλοι μη παντες δυναμεις
30 All do not have presents of healings, do they? All do not speak languages, do they? All do not interpret, do they?
μη παντες χαρισματα εχουσιν ιαματων μη παντες γλωσσαις λαλουσιν μη παντες διερμηνευουσιν
31 But earnestly desire the best gifts.
ζηλουτε δε τα χαρισματα τα κρειττονα και ετι καθ υπερβολην οδον υμιν δεικνυμι
