Gifts From the Holy Spirit12 1Now, brothers and sisters, I want you to understand about spiritual gifts. 2You remember the lives you lived before you were believers. You let yourselves be influenced and led away to worship idolsa - things that have no life. 3So I tell you that no one who is speaking with the help of God's Spirit says, "Jesus be cursed." And no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," without the help of the Holy Spiritb.
4There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but they are all from the same Spirit. 5There are different ways to serve, but we serve the same Lord. 6And there are different ways that God works in people, but it is the same God who works in all of us to do everything.
7Something from the Spirit can be seen in each person. The Spirit gives this to each one to help others. 8The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak with wisdom. And the same Spirit gives another person the ability to speak with knowledge. 9The same Spirit gives faith to one person and to another he gives gifts of healing. 10The Spirit gives to one person the power to do miraclesc, to another the ability to prophesyd, and to another the ability to judge what is from the Spirit and what is not. The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak in different kinds of languages, and to another the ability to interpret those languages. 11One Spirit, the same Spirit, does all these things. The Spirit decides what to give each one.
The Body of Christ 12A person has only one body, but it has many parts. Yes, there are many parts, but all those parts are still just one body. Christ is like that too. 13Some of us are Jews and some of us are not; some of us are slaves and some of us are free. But we were all baptizede to become one body through one Spiritf. And we were all giveng the one Spirit.
14And a person's body has more than one part. It has many parts. 15The foot might say, "I am not a hand, so I don't belong to the body." But saying this would not stop the foot from being a part of the body. 16The ear might say, "I am not an eye, so I don't belong to the body." But saying this would not make the ear stop being a part of the body. 17If the whole body were an eye, it would not be able to hear. If the whole body were an ear, it would not be able to smell anything. 18-19If each part of the body were the same part, there would be no body. But as it is, God put the parts in the body as he wanted them. He made a place for each one. 20So there are many parts, but only one body.
21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the foot, "I don't need you!" 22No, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are actually very important. 23And the parts that we think are not worth very much are the parts we give the most care to. And we give special care to the parts of the body that we don't want to show. 24The more beautiful parts don't need this special care. But God put the body together and gave more honor to the parts that need it. 25God did this so that our body would not be divided. God wanted the different parts to care the same for each other. 26If one part of the body suffers, then all the other parts suffer with it. Or if one part is honored, then all the other parts share its honor.
27All of you together are the body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of that body. 28And in the churchh God has given a place first to apostlesi, second to prophetsj, and third to teachers. Then God has given a place to those who do miraclesc, those who have gifts of healing, those who can help others, those who are able to lead, and those who can speak in different kinds of languages. 29Not all are apostles. Not all are prophets. Not all are teachers. Not all do miracles. 30Not all have gifts of healing. Not all speak in different kinds of languages. Not all interpret those languages. 31Continue to give your attention to the spiritual gifts you consider to be the greatest. But now I want to point out a way of life that is even greater.

hchurch Literally, “assembly” or “community,” the people who have been brought together as God’s family through their common faith in Jesus Christ. The word often refers to a group of believers who meet together or who live in the same area, but it is also used to mean the worldwide community of all believers in Christ.
iapostle A follower of Jesus chosen to represent him in a special way. During his earthly ministry, Jesus named twelve men as apostles. They had the specific responsibility and authority to represent him and proclaim his message throughout the world. Later, he appeared to Paul and gave him a similar commission, especially to non-Jewish people. Barnabas, Paul’s missionary companion, and James, the brother of Jesus, are also called apostles, as well as several others in the New Testament. Some of these occurrences of the word, however, have the more general sense of “messenger” or “representative.”
jprophet A person who speaks a message from God. Many of the books in the Old Testament are messages spoken or written by “the prophets,” who were some of those God chose to speak for him. God often used dreams or visions to tell or show his prophets what they should say.
