1 Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.

1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

1 Now concerning (A)spiritual gifts, brethren, (B)I do not want you to be unaware.

1 Now concerning what comes from the Spirit:(a) brothers, I do not want you to be unaware.

1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I don't want you to be ignorant.

2 You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.

2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

2 (C)You know that when you were pagans, you were (D)led astray to the (E)mute idols, however you were led.

2 You know that when you were pagans, you used to be led off to the idols(A) that could not speak.(B)

2 You know that when you were unbelievers, you were enticed and led astray to worship idols that couldn't even speak.

3 Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God's Spirit says, "Jesus is accursed." No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," but by the Holy Spirit.

3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking (a)(F)by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is (b)(G)accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is (H)Lord,” except (c)(I)by the Holy Spirit.

3 Therefore I am informing you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

3 For this reason I want you to be aware that no one who is speaking by God's Spirit can say, "Jesus is cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.

7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

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

7 A demonstration of the Spirit is given to each person(D) to produce what is beneficial:

8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

8 For to one is given the word of (M)wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of (N)knowledge according to the same Spirit;

Unity In The Midst Of Diversity

12 For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

12 For even (W)as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, (X)so also is Christ.

12 For as the body is one(K) and has many parts, and all the parts of that body, though many, are one body—so also is Christ.(L)

12 For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, form a single body, so it is with the Messiah.

13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink of one Spirit.

13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

13 For (j)(Y)by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether (Z)Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to (AA)drink of one Spirit.

13 For we were all baptized by(c) one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.(M)

13 For by one Spirit all of us Jews and Greeks, slaves and free were baptized into one body and were all privileged to drink from one Spirit.

14 For the body is not one member, but many.

14 For the body is not one member, but many.

14 For (AB)the body is not one member, but many.

14 So the body is not one part but many.

14 For the body does not consist of only one part, but of many.

15 If the foot would say, "Because I'm not the hand, I'm not part of the body," it is not therefore not part of the body.

15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

15 If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason (k)any the less a part of the body.

15 If the foot should say, “Because I’m not a hand, I don’t belong to the body,” in spite of this it still belongs to the body.

15 If the foot says, "Since I'm not a hand, I'm not part of the body," that does not make it any less a part of the body, does it?

16 If the ear would say, "Because I'm not the eye, I'm not part of the body," it's not therefore not part of the body.

16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

16 And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason (l)any the less a part of the body.

16 And if the ear should say, “Because I’m not an eye, I don’t belong to the body,” in spite of this it still belongs to the body.

16 And if the ear says, "Since I'm not an eye, I'm not part of the body," that does not make it any less a part of the body, does it?

17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?

17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?

17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?

17 If 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?

18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.

18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

18 But now God has (AC)placed the members, each one of them, in the body, (AD)just as He desired.

18 But now God has placed each one of the parts in one body just as He wanted.(N)

18 But now God has arranged the parts, every one of them, in the body according to his plan.

19 If they were all one member, where would the body be?

19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?

19 If they were all one member, where would the body be?

19 And if they were all the same part, where would the body be?

19 Now if all of it were one part, there wouldn't be a body, would there?

20 But now they are many members, but one body.

20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.

20 But now (AE)there are many members, but one body.

20 Now there are many parts, yet one body.

20 So there are many parts, but one body.

21 The eye cannot tell the hand, "I have no need for you," or again the head to the feet, "I have no need for you."

21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”

21 So the eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” Or again, the head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”

21 The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you," or the head to the feet, "I don't need you."

22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

22 On the contrary, (m)it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;

22 But even more, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are necessary.

22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are in fact indispensable,

23 Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety;

23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

23 and those members of the body which we (n)deem less honorable, (o)on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable,

23 And those parts of the body that we think to be less honorable,(O) we clothe these with greater honor, and our unpresentable parts have a better presentation.

23 and the parts of the body that we think are less honorable are treated with special honor, and we make our less attractive parts more attractive.

24 whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,

24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

24 whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked,

24 But our presentable parts have no need of clothing. Instead, God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the less honorable,

24 However, our attractive parts don't need this. But God has put the body together and has given special honor to the parts that lack it,

25 that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

25 so that there may be no (p)division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.

25 so that there would be no division(P) in the body, but that the members would have the same concern for each other.

25 so that there might be no disharmony in the body, but that its parts should have the same concern for each other.

26 When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. Or when one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is (q)honored, all the members rejoice with it.

26 So if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it. If one part is praised, every part rejoices with it.

27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

27 Now you are (AF)Christ’s body, and (AG)individually members of it.

27 Now you are the body of Christ,(Q) and individual members of it.

27 Now you are the Messiah's body and individual parts of it.

28 God has set some in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.

28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

28 And God has (r)(AH)appointed in (AI)the church, first (AJ)apostles, second (AK)prophets, third (AL)teachers, then (s)(AM)miracles, then (AN)gifts of healings, helps, (AO)administrations, various (AP)kinds of tongues.

28 God has appointed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then those who perform miracles, those who have gifts of healing, those who help others, administrators, and those who speak various kinds of languages.

29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?

29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

29 All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of (t)miracles, are they?

29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets?Are all teachers? Do all do miracles?

29 Not all are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they? Not all are teachers, are they? Not all perform miracles, do they?

30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?

30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

30 All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not (AQ)interpret, do they?

30 Do all have gifts of healing?Do all speak in other languages?Do all interpret?(V)

30 Not all have the gift of healing, do they? Not all speak in foreign languages, do they? Not all interpret, do they?

31 But earnestly desire the greater gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.

31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

31 But (AR)earnestly desire the greater gifts.And I show you a still more excellent way.

31 But desire(W) the greater gifts. And I will show you an even better way.

31 Keep on desiring the better gifts. And now I will show you the best way of all.
