1 Corinthians 12

1 But, concerning the spiritually gifted, brethren, I am not wishing you to be ignorant.

Concerning now spiritual [gifts], brothers, not I do want you to be ignorant.

2 Ye know that, when ye were of the nations, unto the dumb idols, howsoever ye were being led, ye were seduced.

You know that (when *NO) pagans you were to idols mute even as maybe you were led being carried away.

3 Wherefore, I give you to know—that, no one, in God’s Spirit speaking, saith—Accursed Jesus! and, no one, can say—Lord Jesus! save in [the] Holy Spirit.

Therefore I make known to you that no [one] in [the] Spirit of God speaking says: Accursed [is] (Jesus, *N+kO) and no [one] is able to say: (Lord Jesus [is], *N+kO) only except in [the] Spirit Holy.

4 But, distributions of gifts, there are, yet the same Spirit,

Varieties now of gifts there are, but the same Spirit;

5 And, distributions of ministries, there are, and the same Lord,

and varieties of services there are, but the same Lord;

6 And, distributions of energies, there are, and the same God—who energiseth all things in all.

and varieties of workings there are, the (but *NK+o) same (is *k) God who is working the all things in everyone.

7 But, unto each one, is given the manifesting of the Spirit, with a view to that which is profitable;

To each now is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common profiting.

8 For, unto one, indeed, through the Spirit, is given, a word of wisdom, but, unto another, a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; —

To one indeed for through the Spirit is given a word of wisdom, to another however a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

9 Unto a different one, faith, in the same Spirit, and, unto another, gifts of healings, in the one Spirit,

to a different one (now *k) faith by the same Spirit, to another now gifts of healing in that (one *N+KO) Spirit,

10 And, unto another, energies of mighty works, [and], unto another, prophesying, [and], unto another, discriminations of spirits, —unto a different one, kinds of tongues, and, unto another, translation of tongues; —

to another now working of miracles, to another now prophecy, to another now distinguishing of spirits, to a different one (now *k) various kinds of tongues, to another now interpretation of tongues;

11 But, all these, energiseth the one and the same Spirit, distributing unto each one, peculiarly, even as it is disposed.

All now these things works the one and the same Spirit apportioning individually to each even as He wills.

12 For, just as, the body, is one, and yet hath many members, but, all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so, also, the Christ; —

Just as for the body one is and members many has all now the members of the body (of the one *K) many being one are body, so also [is] Christ.

13 For, even to one Spirit, we all, into one body, have been immersed, —whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, —and, all, of one Spirit, have been caused to drink.

Also for in one Spirit we ourselves all into one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks whether slaves or free, and all (into *k) one Spirit we were made to drink.

14 For, the body also, is not one member, but many:

Also for the body not is one member but many.

15 Though the foot should say—Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, Is it, therefore, not, of the body?

If shall say the foot; Because not I am a hand, not I am of the body, not on account of this not is it of the body?

16 And, though the ear should say—Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, Is it, therefore, not, of the body?

And if shall say the ear; Because not I am an eye, not I am of the body, not on account of this not is it of the body?

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

If all the body [were] an eye, where [would be] the hearing? If all [were] hearing, where [would be] the sense of smell?

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

(now *NK+o) however God has arranged the members, one each of them in the body even as He desired.

19 But, if they all had been one member, Where had been, the body?

If now were all one member, where [would be] the body?

20 Now, however there are many members, yet one body;

Now however many indeed [are the] members, [there is] one however body.

21 [And] the eye cannot say unto the hand—I have no need of thee, —nor, again, the head, unto the feet—I have no need of you: —

Not is able now the eye to say to the hand; Need of you not I have, Or again the head to the feet; Need of you not I have;

22 Nay! much more, the members which seem to be weaker are necessary,

But much rather those seeming members of the body weaker to be indispensable are,

23 And, the parts of the body which we deem to be less honourable, on these, more abundant honour, do we bestow, and, our uncomely parts, have, more abundant comeliness,

and those which we think less honorable to be of the body, these honor more excessive we bestow, and the unpresentable [parts] of us decorum more excessive have;

24 Whereas, our comely parts, have, no need. But, God, hath tempered the body together, —unto that which was lacking, giving more abundant honour; —

and the presentable [parts] of us no need have. but God [who] has composed the body to that which (is become lacking *N+kO) more excessive having given honor,

25 That there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have, the same, care, one for another;

so that not there may be (division *N+kO) in the body, but the same for one another may have concern the members;

26 And, whether one member, suffereth, all the members, suffer with it, or, a member is glorified, all the members, rejoice together.

And (if *NK+o) suffers one member, suffer with [it] all the members; if is honored one member, rejoice with [it] all the members.

27 Now, ye, are the body of Christ, and members severally; —

You yourselves now are [the] body of Christ and members in particular.

28 And God hath, indeed, set, certain, in the assembly, —first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that mighty works, then gifts of healings, helps, guidings, kinds of tongues.

And some indeed has appointed God in the church first apostles, secondly prophets, third teachers, then miracles, (then *N+kO) gifts of healing, helping, administrating, various kinds of tongues.

29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all mighty works?

Surely not all [are] apostles? Surely not all [are] prophets? Surely not all [are] teachers? Surely not all [do] miracles?

30 Have, all, gifts of healings? Do, all, with tongues, speak? Do, all, translate?

Surely not all gifts have of healings? Surely not all in tongues do speak? Surely not all do interpret?

31 Be envious, however, of the greater gifts; and, yet, a much more excellent way, unto you, I point out: —

do be desirous of however the gifts (greater. *N+KO) And now according to a more surpassing way to you I show.
