1 Corinthians 12:1-11

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do

not want you to be ignorant. You know that when you were

gentiles you were enticed and led astray to idols that could

not speak. Therefore I want you to understand that no one

speaking by the Spirit of God ever says “Let Jesus be

cursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the

Holy Spirit.

Now there are varieties of gifts but the same Spirit, and

there are varieties of services but the same Lord, and there

are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who

activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the

manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one

is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom and to

another the utterance of knowledge according to the same

Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts

of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of

powerful deeds, to another prophecy, to another the

discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues,

to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are

activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each

one individually just as the Spirit chooses.
