Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are diversities of ministries, and the same Lord. And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, Who worketh all things in all. And to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profiting. For to one, indeed, is given through the Spirit a word of wisdom; and to another, a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; to another, faith, in the same Spirit; and to another, gifts of healings, in the one Spirit; and to another, workings of mighty deeds; and to another, prophecy; and to another, discerning of spirits; to another, various kinds of tongues; and to another, interpretation of tongues. But all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, distributing to each one, severally, even as He willeth.
