1 Corinthians 12 — Context

8

For to one are given words of wisdom through the Spirit; and to another words of knowledge through the same Spirit:

9

To another faith in the same Spirit; and to another the power of taking away disease, by the one Spirit;

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:

11

But all these are the operations of the one and the same Spirit, giving to every man separately as his pleasure is.

12

For as the body is one, and has a number of parts, and all the parts make one body, so is Christ.

13

For through the baptism of the one Spirit we were all formed into one body, Jews or Greeks, servants or free men, and were all made full of the same Spirit.

14

For the body is not one part, but a number of parts.
