โ"Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you."โ
โHaving gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, if prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;โ
โAs each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.โ
โIf you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!โ
โFor 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.โ
โFor 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.โ
โWhen one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. Or when one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.โ
โBut now they are many members, but one body.โ
โFor the body is not one member, but many.โ
โNow you are the body of Christ, and members individually.โ
โNo, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.โ
โThose 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 propriety;โ
โGod 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.โ

โwhereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,โ
โThe 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."โ
โthat there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.โ
โIf 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.โ
โIf 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.โ
โIf the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?โ
โIf they were all one member, where would the body be?โ
โDo all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?โ
โBut to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.โ
โFor to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;โ
โto another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the same Spirit;โ
โand 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.โ
โAre all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?โ
โNow there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.โ
โBut the one and the same Spirit works all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.โ
โBut earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.โ
โThere are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all.โ
โThere are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.โ
โNow concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don't want you to be ignorant.โ
โYou know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.โ
โFor the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.โ
โTherefore 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.โ
โNow thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!โ
