12:1

Περι δε των πνευματικων αδελφοι ου θελω υμας αγνοειν

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

12:2

Οιδατε οτι οτε εθνη ητε προς τα ειδωλα τα αφωνα ως αν ηγεσθε απαγομενοι

Ye know that when ye were Gentiles ye were led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led.

12:3

διο γνωριζω υμιν οτι ουδεις εν Πνευματι Θεου λαλων λεγει Αναθεμα ΙΗΣΟΥΣ και ουδεις δυναται ειπειν Κυριος ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ει μη εν Πνευματι Αγιω

Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit.

12:4

Διαιρεσεις δε χαρισματων εισιν το δε αυτο Πνευμα

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

12:5

και διαιρεσεις διακονιων εισιν και ο αυτος Κυριος

And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord.

12:6

και διαιρεσεις ενεργηματων εισιν ο δε αυτος Θεος ο ενεργων τα παντα εν πασιν

And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all.

12:7

Εκαστω δε διδοται η φανερωσις του Πνευματος προς το συμφερον

But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.

12:8

ω μεν γαρ δια του Πνευματος διδοται λογος σοφιας αλλω δε λογος γνωσεως κατα το αυτο Πνευμα

For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:

12:9

ετερω πιστις εν τω αυτω Πνευματι αλλω δε χαρισματα ιαματων εν τω ενι Πνευματι

to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;

12:10

αλλω δε ενεργηματα δυναμεων αλλω δε προφητεια αλλω δε διακρισεις πνευματων ετερω γενη γλωσσων αλλω δε ερμηνεια γλωσσων

and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another divers kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:

12:11

παντα δε ταυτα ενεργει το εν και το αυτο Πνευμα διαιρουν ιδια εκαστω καθως βουλεται

but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.

12:12

Καθαπερ γαρ το σωμα εν εστιν και μελη πολλα εχει παντα δε τα μελη του σωματος πολλα οντα εν εστιν σωμα ουτως και ο Χριστος

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

¹

12:13

και γαρ εν ενι Πνευματι ημεις παντες εις εν σωμα εβαπτισθημεν ειτε Ιουδαιοι ειτε Ελληνες ειτε δουλοι ειτε ελευθεροι και παντες εν Πνευμα εποτισθημεν

For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.

12:14

Και γαρ το σωμα ουκ εστιν εν μελος αλλα πολλα

For the body is not one member, but many.

12:15

εαν ειπη ο πους Οτι ουκ ειμι χειρ ουκ ειμι εκ του σωματος ου παρα τουτο ουκ εστιν εκ του σωματος

If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.

12:16

και εαν ειπη το ους Οτι ουκ ειμι οφθαλμος ουκ ειμι εκ του σωματος ου παρα τουτο ουκ εστιν εκ του σωματος

And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.

12:17

ει ολον το σωμα οφθαλμος που η ακοη ει ολον ακοη που η οσφρησις

If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

12:18

Νυνι δε ο Θεος εθετο τα μελη εν εκαστον αυτων εν τω σωματι καθως ηθελησεν

But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.

12:19

ει δε ην τα παντα εν μελος που το σωμα

And if they were all one member, where were the body?

12:20

νυν δε πολλα μεν μελη εν δε σωμα

But now they are many members, but one body.

12:21

Ου δυναται δε ο οφθαλμος ειπειν τη χειρι Χρειαν σου ουκ εχω η παλιν η κεφαλη τοις ποσιν Χρειαν υμων ουκ εχω

And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

12:22

αλλα πολλω μαλλον τα δοκουντα μελη του σωματος ασθενεστερα υπαρχειν αναγκαια εστιν

Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:

12:23

και α δοκουμεν ατιμοτερα ειναι του σωματος τουτοις τιμην περισσοτεραν περιτιθεμεν και τα ασχημονα ημων ευσχημοσυνην περισσοτεραν εχει

and those parts of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness;

12:24

τα δε ευσχημονα ημων ου χρειαν εχει Αλλα ο θεος συνεκερασεν το σωμα τω υστερουμενω περισσοτεραν δους τιμην

whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked;

12:25

ινα μη η σχισμα εν τω σωματι αλλα το αυτο υπερ αλληλων μεριμνωσιν τα μελη

that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

12:26

και ειτε πασχει εν μελος συμπασχει παντα τα μελη ειτε δοξαζεται εν μελος συνχαιρει παντα τα μελη

And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

12:27

Υμεις δε εστε σωμα Χριστου και μελη εκ μερους

Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof.

12:28

Και ους μεν εθετο ο Θεος εν τη εκκλησια πρωτον αποστολους δευτερον προφητας τριτον διδασκαλους επειτα δυναμεις επειτα χαρισματα ιαματων αντιλημψεις κυβερνησεις γενη γλωσσων

And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues.

12:29

μη παντες αποστολοι μη παντες προφηται μη παντες διδασκαλοι μη παντες δυναμεις

Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

12:30

μη παντες χαρισματα εχουσιν ιαματων μη παντες γλωσσαις λαλουσιν μη παντες διερμηνευουσιν

have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

12:31

ζηλουτε δε τα χαρισματα τα μειζονα Και ετι καθ υπερβολην οδον υμιν δεικνυμι

But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you.
