Then

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself, and to Apollos, for your sakes; that ye may learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you on account of one, may be puffed up against another.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

Differing according

For through the grace given to me, I say, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Whether

Wherefore behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and some of them ye will kill and crucify, and some of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will slay and persecute:

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch.

Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.

And the same man had four daughters, virgins, who prophesied.

To another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, discerning of spirits; to another, divers kinds of languages; to another, the interpretation of languages:

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

Which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

Despise not prophesyings.

According to the proportion

And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what a man hath, and not according to what he hath not.

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye are otherwise minded, God will reveal even this to you.
