12:1 But about the things of the spirit, my brothers, it is not right for you to be without teaching.
12:2 You are conscious that when you were Gentiles, in whatever way you were guided, you went after images without voice or power.
12:3 So it is my desire for you to be clear about this; that no one is able to say by the Spirit of God that Jesus is cursed; and no one is able to say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.
12:4 Now there are different qualities given to men, but the same Spirit.
12:5 And there are different sorts of servants, but the same Lord.
12:6 And there are different operations, but the same God, who is working all things in all.
12:7 But to every man some form of the Spirit's working is given for the common good.
12:8 For to one are given words of wisdom through the Spirit; and to another words of knowledge through the same Spirit:
12:9 To another faith in the same Spirit; and to another the power of taking away disease, by the one Spirit;
12:10 And to another the power of working wonders; and to another the prophet's word; and to another the power of testing spirits; to another different sorts of tongues; and to another the power of making clear the sense of the tongues:
12:11 But all these are the operations of the one and the same Spirit, giving to every man separately as his pleasure is.
