Qorintiyim Aleph (1 Corinthians) 12
12
1And concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant.
2You know that you were nations,#See also Eph. 2:11; Eph. 4:17; 1Pe. 4:3; 1Thes. 4:5 led away to the dumb idols, even as you might be led.
3Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of Elohim says יהושע is a curse, and no one is able to say that יהושע is Master except by the Set-apart Spirit.
4And there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5There are different kinds of services, but the same Master.
6And there are different kinds of workings, but it is the same Elohim who is working all in all.
7And to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profiting,
8for to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
9and to another belief by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit,
10and to another operations of powers, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, and to another kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues.
11But one and the same Spirit works all these, distributing to each one individually as He intends.
12For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is the Messiah.
13For indeed by one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Yehuḏim or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink into one Spirit.
14For indeed the body is not one member but many.
15If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” does it therefore not belong to the body?
16And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” does it therefore not belong to the body?
17If all the body was an eye, where would be the hearing? If all hearing, where would be the smelling?
18But now Elohim has set the members, each one of them, in the body, even as He pleased.
19And if they all had been one member, where would the body be?
20And now, there are indeed many members, but one body.
21And an eye is unable to say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
22But much rather, those members of the body which are thought to be weaker are necessary.
23And to those of the body which we think to be less respected, these we present greater respect. And our unseemly members have greater seemliness,
24whereas our seemly members have no need. But Elohim blended together the body, having given greater respect to that member which lacks it,
25that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same concern one for another.
26And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is esteemed, all the members rejoice with it.
27And you are a body of Messiah, and members individually.
28And Elohim has appointed these in the assembly: firstly emissaries, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, ministrations, kinds of tongues.
29Are all emissaries? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?
30Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
31But earnestly seek the better gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

Spiritual Gifts
1Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed. 2You know that when you were pagans, you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. 3Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
4There are different gifts, but the same Spirit. 5There are different ministries, but the same Lord. 6There are different ways of working, but the same God works all things in all people.
7Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit, 9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, who apportions them to each one as He determines.
The Body of Christ
12The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ. 13For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free, and we were all given one Spirit to drink.
14For the body does not consist of one part, but of many. 15If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 16And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 17If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
18But in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design. 19If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you.” Nor can the head say to the feet, “I do not need you.” 22On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23and the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor. And our unpresentable parts are treated with special modesty, 24whereas our presentable parts have no such need.
But God has composed the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its members should have mutual concern for one another. 26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
The Greater Gifts
27Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it. 28And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, and those with gifts of healing, helping, administration, and various tongues. 29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 31But eagerly desire the greater gifts.
And now I will show you the most excellent way.
