βFor by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:β
βThen Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.β
βEvery good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.β
βNot of works, lest any man should boast.β
βAnd whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.β
βHaving then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith;β
βAs every man hath received the gift, [even so] minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.β
βSo we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.β
βFor I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.β
βOr ministry, [let us wait] on [our] ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;β
βOr he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, [let him do it] with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.β
βFor as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:β
βΒΆ For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ.β
βFor by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.β
βAnd whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.β
βBut now [are they] many members, yet but one body.β
βFor the body is not one member, but many.β
βΒΆ Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.β
βNay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:β
βAnd those [members] of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness.β
βAnd God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.β
βBut now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.β
βFor our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that [part] which lacked:β
βAnd the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.β
βThat there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.β
βIf the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?β
βAnd if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?β
βIf the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling?β
βAnd if they were all one member, where [were] the body?β
βHave all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?β
βBut the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.β
βFor to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;β
βTo another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;β
βTo another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:β
β[Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all workers of miracles?β
βNow there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.β
βBut all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.β
βBut covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.β
βAnd there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.β
βAnd there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.β
βΒΆ Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant.β
βYe know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.β
βFor the gifts and calling of God [are] without repentance.β
βWherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.β
βThanks [be] unto God for his unspeakable gift.β
