1 Corinthians 12:1-11 - Varieties Of Spiritual Gifts

1 In the next place, Brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant about spiritual gifts. 2 You know that there was a time when you were Gentiles, going astray after idols that could not speak, just as you happened to be led. 3 Therefore I tell you plainly that no one who speaks under the influence of the Spirit of God says 'JESUS IS ACCURSED,' and that no one can say 'JESUS IS LORD,' except under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

4 Gifts differ, but the Spirit is the same; 5 Ways of serving differ, yet the Master is the same; 6 Results differ, yet the God who brings about every result is in every case the same. 7 To each man there is given spiritual illumination for the general good.

8 To one is given the power to speak with wisdom through the Spirit; to another the power to speak with knowledge, due to the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another power to cure diseases by the one Spirit; to another supernatural powers; 10 To another the gift of preaching; to another the gift of distinguishing between true and false inspiration; to another varieties of the gift of 'tongues'; to another the power to interpret 'tongues.'

11 All these result from one and the same Spirit, who distributes his gifts to each individually as he wills.
