Now concerning ^(C1)spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, ^(C2)I do not want you to be unaware.

^(C1)You know that when you were ^(F1)pagans, you were ^(C2)led ^(F2)astray to the ^(C3)mute idols, however you were led.

Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking ^(F1)(C1)by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is ^(F2)(C2)accursed"; and no one can say, "Jesus is ^(C3)Lord," except ^(F1)(C1)by the Holy Spirit.

Now there are ^(C1)varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.

And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord.

There are varieties of effects, but the same ^(C1)God who works all things in all persons.

But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit ^(C1)for the common good.

For to one is given the word of ^(C1)wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of ^(C2)knowledge according to the same Spirit;

to another ^(C1)faith ^(F1)by the same Spirit, and to another ^(C2)gifts of ^(F2)healing ^(F1)by the one Spirit,

and to another the ^(F1)effecting of ^(F2)(C1)miracles, and to another ^(C2)prophecy, and to another the ^(F3)(C3)distinguishing of spirits, to another various ^(C4)kinds of tongues, and to another the ^(C5)interpretation of tongues.

But one and the same Spirit works all these things, ^(C1)distributing to each one individually just as He ^(F1)wills.

For just ^(C1)as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though they are many, are one body, ^(C2)so also is Christ.

For ^(F1)(C1)by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether ^(C2)Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to ^(C3)drink of one Spirit.

For ^(C1)the body is not one part, but many.
