The Darby Bible
1 Corinthians, Chapter 12

   1: But concerning spiritual [manifestations], brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant.
   2: Ye know that when ye were [of the] nations [ye were] led away to dumb idols, in whatever way ye might be led.
   3: I give you therefore to know, that no one, speaking in [the power of the] Spirit of God, says, Curse [on] Jesus; and no one can say, Lord Jesus, unless in [the power of the] Holy Spirit.
   4: But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit;
   5: and there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord;
   6: and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all.
   7: But to each the manifestation of the Spirit is given for profit.
   8: For to one, by the Spirit, is given [the] word of wisdom; and to another [the] word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
   9: and to a different one faith, in [the power of] the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healing in [the power of] the same Spirit;
   10: and to another operations of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; and to a different one kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues.
   11: But all these things operates the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each in particular according as he pleases.
   12: For even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also [is] the Christ.
   13: For also in [the power of] one Spirit we have all been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or free, and have all been given to drink of one Spirit.
   14: For also the body is not one member but many.
   15: If the foot say, Because I am not a hand I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body?
   16: And if the ear say, Because I am not an eye I am not of the body, is it on account of this not indeed of the body?
   17: If the whole body [were] an eye, where the hearing? if all hearing, where the smelling?
   18: But now God has set the members, each one of them in the body, according as it has pleased [him].
   19: But if all were one member, where the body?
   20: But now the members [are] many, and the body one.
   21: The eye cannot say to the hand, I have not need of thee; or again, the head to the feet, I have not need of you.
   22: But much rather, the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;
   23: and those [parts] of the body which we esteem to be the more void of honour, these we clothe with more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness;
   24: but our comely [parts] have not need. But God has tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to [the part] that lacked;
   25: that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern one for another.
   26: And if one member suffer, all the members suffer with [it]; and if one member be glorified, all the members rejoice with [it].
   27: Now ye are Christ's body, and members in particular.
   28: And God has set certain in the assembly: first, apostles; secondly, prophets; thirdly, teachers; then miraculous powers; then gifts of healings; helps; governments; kinds of tongues.
   29: [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all [in possession of] miraculous powers?
   30: have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
   31: But desire earnestly the greater gifts, and yet shew I unto you a way of more surpassing excellence.
