1 Corinthians 12

Spiritual Gifts

Therefore, I want you to know that no one speaking by God's Spirit says, “Jesus is accursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

There are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; there are varieties of ministries, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but the same God activates all of them in everyone. A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, and to another a message of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit; to another workings of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues. One and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each person individually just as the Spirit wills.

One Body with Many Members

For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the body's members, though many, are one body, so also is Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, enslaved or free—and we were all given one Spirit to drink.
