1 Corinthians 12 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 Now, brothers and sisters, I want you to understand about spiritual gifts.
2 You remember the lives you lived before you were believers. You let yourselves be influenced and led away to worship idols —things that have no life.
3 So I tell you that no one who is speaking with the help of God's Spirit says, "Jesus be cursed." And no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," without the help of the Holy Spirit.
4 There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but they are all from the same Spirit.
5 There are different ways to serve, but we serve the same Lord.
6 And there are different ways that God works in people, but it is the same God who works in all of us to do everything.
7 Something from the Spirit can be seen in each person. The Spirit gives this to each one to help others.
8 The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak with wisdom. And the same Spirit gives another person the ability to speak with knowledge.
9 The same Spirit gives faith to one person and to another he gives gifts of healing.
10 The Spirit gives to one person the power to do miracles, to another the ability to prophesy, and to another the ability to know the difference between good and evil spirits. The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak in different kinds of languages, and to another the ability to interpret those languages.
11 One Spirit, the same Spirit, does all these things. The Spirit decides what to give each one.
12 A person has only one body, but it has many parts. Yes, there are many parts, but all those parts are still just one body. Christ is like that too.
13 Some of us are Jews and some of us are not; some of us are slaves and some of us are free. But we were all baptized to become one body through one Spirit. And we were all given the one Spirit.
14 And a person's body has more than one part. It has many parts.
15 The foot might say, "I am not a hand, so I don't belong to the body." But saying this would not stop the foot from being a part of the body.
16 The ear might say, "I am not an eye, so I don't belong to the body." But saying this would not make the ear stop being a part of the body.
17 If the whole body were an eye, it would not be able to hear. If the whole body were an ear, it would not be able to smell anything.
18 If each part of the body were the same part, there would be no body. But as it is, God put the parts in the body as he wanted them. He made a place for each one.
19 vnumber="19">
20 So there are many parts, but only one body.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the foot, "I don't need you!"
22 No, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are really very important.
23 And the parts that we think are not worth very much are the parts we give the most care to. And we give special care to the parts of the body that we don't want to show.
24 The more beautiful parts don't need this special care. But God put the body together and gave more honor to the parts that need it.
25 God did this so that our body would not be divided. God wanted the different parts to care the same for each other.
26 If one part of the body suffers, then all the other parts suffer with it. Or if one part is honored, then all the other parts share its honor.
27 All of you together are the body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of that body.
28 And in the church God has given a place first to apostles, second to prophets, and third to teachers. Then God has given a place to those who do miracles, those who have gifts of healing, those who can help others, those who are able to lead, and those who can speak in different kinds of languages.
29 Not all are apostles. Not all are prophets. Not all are teachers. Not all do miracles.
30 Not all have gifts of healing. Not all speak in different kinds of languages. Not all interpret those languages.
31 Continue to give your attention to the spiritual gifts you consider to be the greatest. But I want to point out a way of life that is even greater. And now I will show you the best way of all.
1 Now G1161 CONJ concerning G4012 PREP spiritual G4152 A-GPN gifts , brethren G80 N-VPM , I would G2309 V-PAI-1S not G3756 PRT-N have you G5209 P-2AP ignorant G50 V-PAN .
2 Ye know G1492 V-RAI-2P that G3754 CONJ ye were G2258 V-IXI-2P Gentiles G1484 N-NPN , carried away G520 V-PPP-NPM unto G4314 PREP these G3588 T-APN dumb G880 A-APN idols G1497 N-APN , even as G5613 ADV ye were led G71 V-IPI-2P .

8 For G1063 CONJ to one G3739 R-DSM is given G1325 V-PPI-3S by G1223 PREP the G3588 T-GSN Spirit G4151 N-GSN the word G3056 N-NSM of wisdom G4678 N-GSF ; to G1161 CONJ another G243 A-DSM the word G3056 N-NSM of knowledge G1108 N-GSF by G2596 PREP the G3588 T-ASN same G846 P-ASN Spirit G4151 N-ASN ;

12 For G1063 CONJ as G2509 ADV the G3588 T-NSN body G4983 N-NSN is G2076 V-PXI-3S one G1520 A-NSN , and G2532 CONJ hath G2192 V-PAI-3S many G4183 A-APN members G3196 N-APN , and G1161 CONJ all G3956 A-NPN the G3588 T-NPN members G3196 N-NPN of G3588 T-GSN that G3588 T-GSN one G1520 A-GSN body G4983 N-GSN , being G5607 V-PXP-NPN many G4183 A-NPN , are G2076 V-PXI-3S one G1520 A-NSN body G4983 N-NSN : so G3779 ADV also G2532 CONJ is Christ G5547 N-NSM .
13 For G1063 CONJ by G1722 PREP one G1520 A-DSN Spirit G4151 N-DSN are we G2249 P-1NP all G3956 A-NPM baptized G907 V-API-1P into G1519 PREP one G1520 A-ASN body G4983 N-ASN , whether G1535 CONJ we be Jews G2453 A-NPM or G1535 CONJ Gentiles G1672 N-NPM , whether G1535 CONJ we be bond G1401 N-NPM or G1535 CONJ free G1658 A-NPM ; and G2532 CONJ have been all G3956 A-NPM made to drink G4222 V-API-1P into G1519 PREP one G1520 A-ASN Spirit G4151 N-ASN .
14 For G1063 CONJ the G3588 T-NSN body G4983 N-NSN is G2076 V-PXI-3S not G3756 PRT-N one G1520 A-NSN member G3196 N-NSN , but G235 CONJ many G4183 A-NPN .
15 If G1437 COND the G3588 T-NSM foot G4228 N-NSM shall say G2036 V-2AAS-3S , Because I am G1510 V-PXI-1S not G3756 PRT-N the hand G5495 N-NSF , I am G1510 V-PXI-1S not G3756 PRT-N of G1537 PREP the G3588 T-GSN body G4983 N-GSN ; is G2076 V-PXI-3S it G3756 PRT-N therefore G3844 PREP not G3756 PRT-N of G1537 PREP the G3588 T-GSN body G4983 N-GSN ?
16 And G2532 CONJ if G1437 COND the G3588 T-NSN ear G3775 N-NSN shall say G2036 V-2AAS-3S , Because G3754 CONJ I am G1510 V-PXI-1S not G3756 PRT-N the eye G3788 N-NSM , I am G1510 V-PXI-1S not G3756 PRT-N of G1537 PREP the G3588 T-GSN body G4983 N-GSN ; is G2076 V-PXI-3S it G3756 PRT-N therefore G3844 PREP not G3756 PRT-N of G1537 PREP the G3588 T-GSN body G4983 N-GSN ?
17 If G1487 COND the G3588 T-NSN whole G3650 A-NSN body G4983 N-NSN were an eye G3788 N-NSM , where G4226 PRT-I were the G3588 T-NSF hearing G189 N-NSF ? If G1487 COND the whole G3650 A-NSN were hearing G189 N-NSF , where G4226 PRT-I were the G3588 T-NSF smelling G3750 N-NSF ?

24 For G1161 CONJ our G2257 P-1GP comely G2158 A-NPN parts have G2192 V-PAI-3S no G3756 PRT-N need G5532 N-ASF : but G235 CONJ God G2316 N-NSM hath tempered the body together G4786 V-AAI-3S , having given G1325 V-2AAP-NSM more abundant G4055 honor G5092 N-ASF to that G3588 T-DSM part G3588 T-DSM which lacked G5302 V-PPP-DSM :

27 Now G1161 CONJ ye G5210 P-2NP are G2075 V-PXI-2P the body G4983 N-NSN of Christ G5547 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ members G3196 N-NPN in G1537 PREP particular G3313 N-GSN .
28 And G2532 CONJ God G2316 N-NSM hath set G5087 V-2AMI-3S some G3739 R-APM in G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSF church G1577 N-DSF , first G4412 ADV apostles G652 N-APM , secondarily G1208 ADV prophets G4396 N-APM , thirdly G5154 ADV teachers G1320 N-APM , after that G1899 ADV miracles G1411 N-APF , then G1534 ADV gifts G5486 N-APN of healings G2386 N-GPN , helps G484 N-APF , governments G2941 N-APF , diversities G1085 N-APN of tongues G1100 N-GPF .
