1 Corinthians 12:1-14:40 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

new⁽ⁱ⁾

1 G1161 Now G4012 concerning G4152 spiritual G80 gifts, brethren, G2309 0 I would G3756 not G2309 [G5719] have G5209 you G50 [G5721] ignorant.

2 G1492 [G5758] Ye know G3754 that G2258 [G5713] ye were G1484 nations, G520 [G5746] carried away G4314 to G3588 the G880 voiceless G1497 idols, G302 even G5613 as G71 [G5712] ye were led.

3 G1352 Therefore G1107 0 I give G5213 you G1107 [G5719] to understand, G3754 that G3762 no man G2980 [G5723] speaking G1722 by G4151 the Spirit G2316 of God G3004 [G5719] calleth G2424 Jesus G331 accursed: G2532 and G3762 that no man G1410 [G5736] can G2036 [G5629] say G2424 that Jesus G2962 is the Lord, G1508 but G1722 by G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit.

4 G1161 Now G1526 [G5748] there are G1243 varieties G5486 of gifts of favour, G1161 but G846 the same G4151 Spirit.

5 G2532 And G1526 [G5748] there are G1243 divisions G1248 of services, G2532 and G846 the same G2962 Lord.

6 G2532 And G1526 [G5748] there are G1243 varieties G1755 of operations, G1161 but G2076 [G5748] it is G846 the same G2316 God G3588 who G1754 [G5723] worketh G3956 all G1722 in G3956 all.

7 G1161 But G5321 the manifestation G4151 of the Spirit G1325 [G5743] is given G1538 to every man G4314 for G4851 [G5723] profit of all.

8 G1063 For G3739 G3303 to one G1325 [G5743] is given G1223 by G4151 the Spirit G3056 the word G4678 of wisdom; G1161 G243 to another G3056 the word G1108 of knowledge G2596 by G846 the same G4151 Spirit;

9 G1161 G2087 To another G4102 faith G1722 by G846 the same G4151 Spirit; G1161 G243 to another G5486 the gifts of favour G2386 of healing G1722 by G846 the same G4151 Spirit;

10 G1161 G243 To another G1755 the working G1411 of powerful works; G1161 G243 to another G4394 prophecy; G1161 G243 to another G1253 discerning G4151 of spirits; G1161 G2087 to another G1085 various kinds G1100 of tongues; G1161 G243 to another G2058 the interpretation G1100 of tongues:

11 G1161 But G3956 all G5023 these G1754 [G5719] worketh G1520 that one G2532 and G846 the very same G4151 Spirit, G1244 [G5723] dividing G1538 to every man G2398 individually G2531 as G1014 [G5736] he will.

12 G1063 For G2509 exactly as G4983 the body G2076 [G5748] is G1520 one, G2532 and G2192 [G5719] hath G4183 many G3196 members, G1161 and G3956 all G3196 the members G1520 of that one G4983 body, G5607 [G5752] being G4183 many, G2076 [G5748] are G1520 one G4983 body: G3779 so G2532 also G5547 is Anointed.

13 G1063 G2532 For G1722 by G1520 one G4151 Spirit G907 0 were G2249 we G3956 all G907 [G5681] baptized G1519 into G1520 one G4983 body, G1535 whether G2453 Judeans G1535 or G1672 Hellenes, G1535 whether G1401 slave G1535 or G1658 free; G2532 and G4222 0 have been G3956 all G4222 [G5681] made to drink G1519 into G1520 one G4151 Spirit.

14 G2532 G1063 For G4983 the body G2076 [G5748] is G3756 not G1520 one G3196 member, G235 but G4183 many.

15 G1437 If G4228 the foot G2036 [G5632] shall say, G3754 Because G1510 [G5748] I am G3756 not G5495 the hand, G1510 [G5748] I am G3756 not G1537 of G4983 the body; G2076 [G5748] is G3756 G3844 G5124 it therefore G3756 not G1537 of G4983 the body?

16 G2532 And G1437 if G3775 the ear G2036 [G5632] shall say, G3754 Because G1510 [G5748] I am G3756 not G3788 the eye, G1510 [G5748] I am G3756 not G1537 of G4983 the body; G2076 [G5748] is G3756 G3844 G5124 it therefore G3756 not G1537 of G4983 the body?

17 G1487 If G3650 the whole G4983 body G3788 were an eye, G4226 where G189 were the hearing? G1487 If G3650 the whole G189 were hearing, G4226 where G3750 were the smelling?

18 G1161 But G3570 now G5087 0 hath G2316 God G5087 [G5639] set G3196 the members G1538 every G1520 one G846 of them G1722 in G4983 the body, G2531 as G2309 [G5656] it hath pleased him.

19 G1161 And G1487 if G2258 [G5713] they were G3956 all G1520 one G3196 member, G4226 where G4983 were the body?

20 G1161 But G3568 G3303 now G4183 are they many G3196 members, G1161 yet but G1520 one G4983 body.

21 G1161 And G3788 the eye G3756 G1410 [G5736] cannot G2036 [G5629] say G5495 to the hand, G2192 [G5719] I have G3756 no G5532 need G4675 of thee: G2228 nor G3825 again G2776 the head G4228 to the feet, G2192 [G5719] I have G3756 no G5532 need G5216 of you.

22 G235 Nay, G4183 much G3123 more G3196 those members G4983 of the body, G1380 [G5723] which seem G5225 [G5721] to be G772 more feeble, G2076 [G5748] are G316 necessary:

23 G2532 And G3739 those G4983 members of the body, G1380 [G5719] which we think G1511 [G5750] to be G820 without honour, G5125 upon these G4060 [G5719] we bestow G4055 more abundant G5092 honour; G2532 and G2257 our G809 uncomely G2192 [G5719] parts have G4055 more abundant G2157 comeliness.

24 G1161 But G2257 our G2158 decorous parts G2192 [G5719] have G3756 no G5532 need: G235 but G2316 God G4786 0 hath mixed G3588 the G4983 body G4786 [G5656] together, G1325 [G5631] having given G4055 more abundant G5092 honour G3588 to that part G5302 [G5746] which lacked:

25 G3363 0 That G5600 [G5753] there should be G3363 no G4978 split G1722 in G4983 the body; G235 but G3196 that the members G3309 0 should have G846 the same G3309 [G5725] care G5228 one for G240 another.

26 G2532 And G1535 if G1520 one G3196 member G3958 [G5719] suffer, G3956 all G3196 the members G4841 [G5719] suffer with it; G1535 or G1520 if one G3196 member G1392 [G5743] is honoured, G3956 all G3196 the members G4796 [G5719] rejoice with it.

27 G1161 Now G5210 ye G2075 [G5748] are G4983 the body G5547 of Anointed, G2532 and G3196 members G1537 in G3313 particular.

28 G2532 G3739 And G2316 God G5087 [G5639] hath set G3303 some G1722 in G1577 the congregation, G4412 first G652 apostles, G1208 second G4396 prophets, G5154 third G1320 teachers, G1899 then G1411 works of power, G1534 then G5486 gifts of favour G2386 of healings, G484 helps, G2941 governments, G1085 various kinds G1100 of tongues.

29 G3361 G3956 Are all G652 apostles? G3361 G3956 are all G4396 prophets? G3361 G3956 are all G1320 teachers? G3361 G3956 are all G1411 workers of powers?

30 G3361 G2192 [G5719] Have G3956 all G5486 the gifts of favour G2386 of healing? G3956 do all G3361 G2980 [G5719] speak G1100 with tongues? G3361 do G3956 all G1329 [G5719] interpret?

31 G1161 But G2206 [G5720] be zealous for G3588 the G2909 best G5486 gifts of favour: G2532 and G2089 yet G1166 [G5719] I show G5213 to you G2596 a more G5236 excellent G3598 way.

¹³

1 G1437 Though G2980 [G5725] I speak G1100 with the tongues G444 of men G2532 and G32 of messengers, G1161 and G2192 [G5725] have G3361 not G26 love, G1096 [G5754] I am become G2278 [G5723] as sounding G5475 brass, G2228 or G214 [G5723] a tinkling G2950 cymbal.

2 G2532 And G1437 though G2192 [G5725] I have G4394 the gift of prophecy, G2532 and G1492 [G5762] understand G3956 all G3466 mysteries, G2532 and G3956 all G1108 knowledge; G2532 and G1437 though G2192 [G5725] I have G3956 all G4102 faith, G5620 so G3179 [G5721] that I could remove G3735 mountains, G1161 and G2192 [G5725] have G3361 not G26 love, G1510 [G5748] I am G3762 nothing.

3 G2532 And G1437 though G5595 0 I bestow G3956 all G3450 my G5224 [G5723] goods G5595 [G5661] to feed G2532 the poor, and G1437 though G3860 [G5632] I give G3450 my G4983 body G2443 to G2545 [G5703] be burned, G1161 and G2192 [G5725] have G3361 not G26 love, G5623 [G5743] it profiteth me G3762 nothing.

4 G26 Love G3114 [G5719] suffereth long, G5541 [G5736] and is kind; G26 love G3756 is not G2206 [G5719] zealous; G26 love G4068 0 vaunteth G3756 not G4068 [G5736] itself, G5448 0 is G3756 not G5448 [G5743] puffed up,

5 G807 0 Doth G3756 not G807 [G5719] behave itself unseemly, G2212 [G5719] seeketh G3756 not G1438 its own, G3947 0 is G3756 not G3947 [G5743] easily provoked, G3756 is not G3049 [G5736] reckoning G3588 the G2556 bad;

6 G5463 [G5719] Rejoiceth G3756 not G1909 in G93 injustice, G1161 but G4796 [G5719] rejoiceth G225 in the truth;

7 G4722 [G5719] Covereth G3956 all things, G4100 [G5719] believeth G3956 all things, G1679 [G5719] expectantly awaiteth G3956 all things, G5278 [G5719] endureth G3956 all things.

8 G26 Love G3763 never G1601 [G5719] falleth out: G1161 but G1535 whether G4394 there are prophecies, G2673 [G5701] they shall be rendered useless; G1535 whether G1100 there are tongues, G3973 [G5695] they shall cease; G1535 whether G1108 there is knowledge, G2673 [G5701] it shall be rendered useless.

9 G1063 For G1097 [G5719] we know G1537 from out of G3313 a part, G2532 and G4395 [G5719] we prophesy G1537 from out of G3313 a part.

10 G1161 But G3752 when G3588 the G5046 perfect G2064 [G5632] should come, G5119 then G3588 the thing G1537 from out of G3313 a part G2673 [G5701] shall be rendered useless.

11 G3753 When G2252 [G5713] I was G3516 an infant, G2980 [G5707] I spoke G5613 as G3516 an infant, G5426 [G5707] I understood G5613 as G3516 an infant, G3049 [G5711] I reckoned G5613 as G3516 an infant: G1161 but G3753 when G1096 [G5754] I became G435 a man, G2673 [G5758] I rendered useless G3588 the things G3588 of the G3516 infant.

12 G1063 For G737 now G991 [G5719] we see G1223 by G2072 a mirror, G1722 in G135 an enigma; G1161 but G5119 then G4383 face G4314 to G4383 face: G737 now G1097 [G5719] I know G1537 from out of G3313 a part; G1161 but G5119 then G1921 [G5695] I shall recognize G2531 just as G2532 also G1921 [G5681] I was recognized.

13 G1161 And G3570 now G3306 [G5719] abideth G4102 faith, G1680 hope, G26 love, G5023 these G5140 three; G1161 but G3187 the greatest G5130 of these G26 is love.

¹⁴

1 G1377 [G5720] Pursue G26 love, G1161 and G2206 [G5720] be zealous G3588 for the G4152 spiritual G1161 gifts, but G3123 rather G2443 that G4395 [G5725] ye may prophesy.

2 G1063 For G2980 [G5723] he that speaketh G1100 in an unknown tongue G2980 [G5719] speaketh G3756 not G444 to men, G235 but G2316 to God: G1063 for G3762 no man G191 [G5719] understandeth G1161 him; yet G4151 in the spirit G2980 [G5719] he speaketh G3466 mysteries.

3 G1161 But G4395 [G5723] he that prophesieth G2980 [G5719] speaketh G444 to men G3619 to edification, G2532 and G3874 exhortation, G2532 and G3889 comfort.

4 G2980 [G5723] He that speaketh G1100 in an unknown tongue G3618 [G5719] edifieth G1438 himself; G1161 but G4395 [G5723] he that prophesieth G3618 [G5719] edifieth G1577 the congregation.

5 G1161 G2309 [G5719] I would G5209 that ye G3956 all G2980 [G5721] spoke G1100 with tongues, G1161 but G3123 rather G2443 that G4395 [G5725] ye prophesied: G1063 for G3187 greater G4395 [G5723] is he that prophesieth G2228 than G2980 [G5723] he that speaketh G1100 with tongues, G1622 G1508 except G1329 [G5725] he interpret, G2443 that G1577 the congregation G2983 [G5632] may receive G3619 edifying.

6 G1161 G3570 Now, G80 brethren, G1437 if G2064 [G5632] I come G4314 to G5209 you G2980 [G5723] speaking G1100 with tongues, G5101 what G5623 [G5692] shall I profit G5209 you, G3362 except G2980 [G5661] I shall speak G5213 to you G2228 either G1722 by G602 revelation, G2228 or G1722 by G1108 knowledge, G2228 or G1722 by G4394 prophesying, G2228 or G1722 by G1322 teaching?

7 G3676 And even G3588 the G895 things without breath G1325 [G5723] giving G5456 sound, G1535 whether G836 pipe G1535 or G2788 harp, G3362 except G1325 [G5632] they give G1293 a distinction G3588 in the G5353 musical notes, G4459 how G1097 [G5701] shall it be known G3588 G832 [G5746] what is piped G2228 or G3588 G2789 [G5746] harped?

8 G1063 G2532 For G1437 if G4536 the trumpet G1325 [G5632] shall give G82 an uncertain G5456 sound, G5101 who G3903 [G5695] shall prepare himself G1519 for G4171 war?

9 G3779 So G2532 likewise G5210 ye, G3362 except G1325 [G5632] ye utter G1223 by G1100 the tongue G3056 words G2154 easy to be understood, G4459 how G1097 [G5701] shall it be known G2980 [G5746] what is spoken? G1063 for G2071 [G5704] ye shall G2980 [G5723] speak G1519 into G109 the air.

10 G1487 G2076 [G5748] There are, G5177 [G5630] it may be, G5118 so many G1085 kinds G5456 of voices G1722 in G2889 the world, G2532 and G3762 none of them G880 G846 [G5625] is voiceless.

11 G3767 Therefore G3362 0 if G1492 [G5762] I know G3362 not G1411 the power G5456 of the voice, G2071 [G5704] I shall be G2980 [G5723] to him that speaketh G915 a barbarian, G2532 and G2980 [G5723] he that speaketh G915 shall be a barbarian G1722 to G1698 me.

12 G2532 Even G3779 so G5210 ye, G1893 forasmuch as G2075 [G5748] ye are G2207 zealous G4151 of spiritual G2212 [G5720] gifts, seek G2443 that G4052 [G5725] ye may excel G4314 to G3588 the G3619 edifying G3588 of the G1577 congregation.

13 G1355 Therefore G2980 [G5723] let him that speaketh G1100 in an unknown tongue G4336 [G5737] pray G2443 that G1329 [G5725] he may interpret.

14 G1063 For G1437 if G4336 [G5741] I pray G1100 in an unknown tongue, G3450 my G4151 spirit G4336 [G5736] prayeth, G1161 but G3450 my G3563 understanding G2076 [G5748] is G175 unfruitful.

15 G5101 What G2076 [G5748] is it G3767 then? G4336 [G5695] I will pray G4151 with the spirit, G1161 and G4336 [G5695] I will pray G3563 with the understanding G2532 also: G5567 [G5692] I will sing G4151 with the spirit, G1161 and G5567 [G5692] I will sing G3563 with the understanding G2532 also.

16 G1893 Else G1437 when G2127 [G5661] thou shalt bless G4151 with the spirit, G4459 how G378 [G5723] shall he that occupieth G5117 the place G2399 of the unlearned G2046 [G5692] say G281 Amen G1909 at G4674 thy G2169 giving of thanks, G1894 seeing G1492 [G5758] he understandeth G3756 not G5101 what G3004 [G5719] thou sayest?

17 G1063 For G4771 thou G3303 verily G2168 [G5719] givest thanks G2573 well, G235 but G2087 the other G3618 0 is G3756 not G3618 [G5743] edified.

18 G2168 [G5719] I thank G3450 my G2316 God, G2980 [G5723] I speak G1100 with tongues G3123 more than G5216 ye G3956 all:

19 G235 Yet G1722 in G1577 the congregation G2309 [G5719] I had rather G2980 [G5658] speak G4002 five G3056 words G1223 with G3450 my G3563 understanding, G2443 that G2727 [G5661] by my voice I may teach G243 others G2532 also, G2228 than G3463 ten thousand G3056 words G1722 in G1100 an unknown tongue.

20 G80 Brethren, G1096 [G5737] be G3361 not G3813 children G5424 in understanding: G235 yet G2549 in malice G3515 [G5720] be ye infants, G1161 but G5424 in understanding G1096 [G5737] be G5046 complete.

21 G1722 In G3551 the law G1125 [G5769] it is written, G3754 G1722 With G2084 men of other tongues G2532 and G1722 G2087 other G5491 lips G2980 [G5692] will I speak G5129 to this G2992 people; G2532 and G3779 yet for all G1522 0 that will they G3761 not G1522 [G5695] hear G3450 me, G3004 [G5719] saith G2962 the Lord.

22 G5620 Therefore G1100 tongues G1526 [G5748] are G1519 for G4592 a sign, G3756 not G3588 to the ones G4100 [G5723] believing, G235 but G3588 to the G571 unbelievers: G1161 but G4394 prophesying G3756 is not G3588 to the G571 unbelievers, G235 but G3588 to the ones G4100 [G5723] believing.

23 G1437 If G3767 therefore G3650 the whole G1577 congregation G4905 [G5632] should come together G1909 in G846 one place, G2532 and G3956 all G2980 [G5725] speak G1100 with tongues, G1161 and G1525 [G5632] there come in G2399 those that are unlearned, G2228 or G571 unbelievers, G2046 0 will they G3756 not G2046 [G5692] say G3754 that G3105 [G5736] ye are mad?

24 G1161 But G1437 if G3956 all G4395 [G5725] prophesy, G1161 and G1525 [G5632] there come in G5100 one G571 that believeth not, G2228 or G2399 one unlearned, G1651 [G5743] he is convicted G5259 by G3956 all, G350 [G5743] he is judged G5259 by G3956 all:

25 G2532 And G3779 thus G1096 0 are G2927 the secrets G846 of his G2588 heart G1096 [G5736] made G5318 known; G2532 and G3779 so G4098 [G5631] falling down G1909 on G4383 his face G4352 [G5692] he will worship G2316 God, G518 [G5723] and report G3754 that G2316 God G3689 really G2076 [G5748] is G1722 among G5213 you.

26 G5101 How G2076 [G5748] is it G3767 then, G80 brethren? G3752 when G4905 [G5741] ye are assembled, G1538 each one G5216 of you G2192 [G5719] hath G5568 a psalm, G2192 [G5719] hath G1322 a teaching, G2192 [G5719] hath G1100 a tongue, G2192 [G5719] hath G602 a revelation, G2192 [G5719] hath G2058 an interpretation. G1096 0 Let G3956 all things G1096 [G5634] be done G4314 for G3619 edification.

27 G1535 If G5100 any man G2980 [G5719] speaketh G1100 in an unknown tongue, G2596 let it be by G1417 two, G2228 or G3588 at the G4118 most G5140 by three, G2532 and G303 that by G3313 part; G2532 and G1329 0 let G1520 one G1329 [G5720] interpret.

28 G1161 But G3362 0 if G5600 [G5753] there may be G3362 no G1328 interpreter, G4601 [G5720] let him keep silence G1722 in G1577 the congregation; G1161 and G2980 [G5720] let him speak G1438 to himself, G2532 and G2316 to God.

29 G1161 G2980 0 Let G4396 the prophets G2980 [G5720] speak G1417 two G2228 or G5140 three, G2532 and G1252 0 let G243 the others G1252 [G5720] judge.

30 G1161 G1437 If G601 [G5686] any thing is revealed G243 to another G2521 [G5740] that sitteth by, G4601 0 let G4413 the first G4601 [G5720] hold his peace.

31 G1063 For G1410 [G5736] ye may G3956 all G4395 [G5721] prophesy G2596 G1520 one by one, G2443 that G3956 all G3129 [G5725] may learn, G2532 and G3956 all G3870 [G5747] may be comforted.

32 G2532 And G4151 the spirits G4396 of the prophets G5293 [G5743] are subject G4396 to the prophets.

33 G1063 For G2316 God G2076 [G5748] is G3756 not G181 the author of instability, G235 but G1515 of peace, G5613 as G1722 in G3956 all G1577 congregations G40 of the holy ones.

34 G4601 0 Let G5216 your G1135 women G4601 [G5720] keep silence G1722 in G1577 the congregations: G1063 for G2010 0 it is G3756 not G2010 [G5769] permitted G846 to them G2980 [G5721] to speak; G235 but G5293 [G5733] they are commanded to be under subjection, G2531 as G2532 also G3004 [G5719] saith G3551 the law.

35 G1161 And G1487 if G2309 [G5719] they will G3129 [G5629] learn G5100 any thing, G1905 [G5720] let them ask G2398 their G435 husbands G1722 at G3624 home: G1063 for G2076 [G5748] it is G149 a shame G1135 for women G2980 [G5721] to speak G1722 in G1577 the congregation.

36 G2228 What? G1831 0 came G3056 the word G2316 of God G1831 [G5627] out G575 from G5216 you? G2228 or G2658 [G5656] came it G1519 to G5209 you G3441 only?

37 G1536 If any man G1380 [G5719] thinketh himself G1511 [G5750] to be G4396 a prophet, G2228 or G4152 spiritual, G1921 [G5720] let him acknowledge G3754 that G3739 the things G1125 [G5719] that I write G5213 to you G1526 [G5748] are G1785 the commandments G2962 of the Lord.

38 G1161 But G1536 if any man G50 [G5719] is ignorant, G50 [G5720] let him be ignorant.

39 G5620 Therefore, G80 brethren, G2206 [G5720] be zealous G4395 [G5721] to prophesy, G2532 and G2967 [G5720] forbid G3361 not G2980 [G5721] to speak G1100 with tongues.

40 G1096 0 Let G3956 all things G1096 [G5737] be done G2156 decorously G2532 and G2596 in G5010 order.
