1 Corinthians 12:4-12 New International Reader's Version
There are different kinds of gifts, but they are all given to believers by
the same Spirit. There are different ways to serve, but they all come
from the same Lord. There are different ways the Spirit works, but
the same God is working in all these ways and in all people. The Holy
Spirit is given to each of us in a special way, for the good of all.
To some people the Spirit gives a message of wisdom. To others the
same Spirit gives a message of knowledge. To others the same Spirit
gives faith. To others that one Spirit gives gifts of healing. To
others, the power to do miracles. To others, the
ability to prophesy. To others, the ability to tell the
spirits apart. To others, the ability to speak in different
kinds of languages they had not known before. And to still others are
given the ability to explain what was said in those languages. All
the gifts are produced by one and the same Spirit. The Holy Spirit
gives gifts to each person, just as the Spirit decides. There is one
body, but it has many parts. But all its many parts make up one body.
