1 Corinthians 12

1 In spirituall thinges brethren I wolde not have you ignoraunt.

Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.

2 Ye knowe that ye were gentyls and went youre wayes vnto domme ydoles even as ye were ledde.

You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.

3 Wherfore I declare vnto you that no man speakynge in the sprete of god defieth Iesus. Also no man can saye that Iesus is the lorde: but by the holy goost.

Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says, “Jesus is accursed.” No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” but by the Holy Spirit.

4 Ther are diversities of gyftes verely yet but one sprete.

Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

5 And ther are differences of administracions and yet but one lorde.

There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.

6 And ther are divers maners of operacions and yet but one God which worketh all thinges that are wrought in all creatures.

There are various kinds of workings, but the same God who works all things in all.

7 The gyftes of ye sprete are geven to every man to proffit ye congregacion.

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

8 To one is geven thorow the spirite the vtteraunce of wisdome? To another is geven the vtteraunce of knowledge by ye same sprete.

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

9 To another is geuen fayth by ye same sprete. To another ye gyftes of healynge by the same sprete.

to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,

10 To another power to do myracles. To another prophesie? To another iudgement of spretes. To another divers tonges. To another the interpretacion of toges.

and to another workings of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of languages, and to another the interpretation of languages.

11 And these all worketh eve ye silfe same sprete devydynge to every man severall gyftes even as he will.

But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.

12 For as the body is one and hath many mebres and all the membres of one body though they be many yet are but one body: even so is Christ.

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

13 For in one sprete are we all baptysed to make one body whether we be Iewes or getyls whether we be bonde or fre: and have all dronke of one sprete.

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

14 For the body is not one member but many.

For the body is not one member, but many.

15 Yf the fote saye: I am not the honde therfore I am not of the body: is he therfore not of ye body:

If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body.

16 And if ye eare saye I am not the eye: therfore I am not of the body: is he therfore not of the body?

If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body.

17 If all the body were an eye where were then the eare? If all were hearynge: where were the smellynge?

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

18 But now hath god disposed the membres every one of them in the body at his awne pleasure.

But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.

19 If they were all one member: where were the body?

If they were all one member, where would the body be?

20 Now are ther many membres yet but one body.

But now they are many members, but one body.

21 And the eye can not saye vnto the honde I have no nede of the: nor ye heed also to the fete. I have no nede of you.

The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.”

22 Ye rather a greate deale those mebres of the body which seme to be most feble are most necessary.

No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

23 And apo those mebres of yt body which we thinke lest honest put we most honestie on. And oure vngodly parties have most beauty on.

Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant modesty,

24 For oure honest members nede it not. But God hath so disposed the body ad hath geven most honoure to that parte which laked

while our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,

25 lest there shuld be eny stryfe in the body: but that the members shuld indifferetly care one for another.

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

26 And yf one member suffer all suffer with him: yf one member be had in honoure all members be glad also.

When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. When one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

27 Ye are the body of Christ and members one of another.

Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

28 And God hath also ordeyned in the congregacion fyrst the Apostels secodarely prophetes thyrdly teachers then the that do miracles: after that the gyftes of healynge helpers governers diversite of tonges.

God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.

29 Are all Apostles? Are all Prophetes? Are all teachers? Are all doars of miracles?

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?

30 Have all the gyftes of healinge? Do all speake wt tonges? Do all interprete?

Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?

31 Covet after ye best giftes. Amd yet shewe I vnto you a moare excellent waye.

But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.
