哥林多前書 12

屬靈的恩賜

1 弟兄們，關於屬靈的恩賜t，我不願意你們不明白。 2 你們知道，你們作外邦人的時候，隨事被引誘，受了迷惑去拜不會出聲的偶像。 3 所以，我要你們知道，被上帝的靈感動的，沒有人會說「耶穌該受詛咒」；若不是被聖靈感動的，也沒有人能說「耶穌是主」。

4 恩賜有許多種，卻是同一位聖靈所賜。 5 事奉有許多種，卻是事奉同一位主。 6 工作有許多種，卻是同一位上帝在萬人中運行萬事。 7 聖靈彰顯在各人身上，是要使人得益處。 8 有人藉著聖靈領受智慧的言語；有人也靠著同一位聖靈領受知識的言語； 9 又有人由同一位聖靈領受信心；還有人由同一位聖靈領受醫病的恩賜； 10 又有人能行異能，又有人能作先知，又有人能辨別諸靈，又有人能說方言t，又有人能翻方言。 11 這一切都是由惟一的、同一位聖靈所運行，隨著自己的旨意分給各人的。

一個身體有許多肢體

12 就如身體是一個，卻有許多肢體，身體的肢體雖多，仍是一個身體；基督也是這樣。 13 我們無論是猶太人是希臘人，是為奴的是自主的，都從一位聖靈受洗成了一個身體，並且共享這位聖靈。

14 身體原不只是一個肢體，而是許多肢體。 15 假如腳說：「我不是手，所以不屬於身體」，它不能因此就不屬於身體。 16 假如耳朵說：「我不是眼睛，所以不屬於身體」，它也不能因此就不屬於身體。 17 假如全身是眼睛，聽覺在哪裏呢？假如全身是耳朵，嗅覺在哪裏呢？ 18 但現在上帝隨自己的意思把肢體一一安置在身體上了。 19 假如全都是一個肢體，身體在哪裏呢？ 20 但現在肢體雖多，身體還是一個。 21 眼睛不能對手說：「我用不著你。」頭也不能對腳說：「我用不著你。」 22 不但如此，身上的肢體，人以為軟弱的，更是不可缺少的； 23 身上的肢體，我們認為不體面的，越發給它加上體面；我們不雅觀的，越發裝飾得雅觀。 24 我們雅觀的肢體自然用不著裝飾；但上帝配搭這身子，把加倍的體面給那有缺欠的肢體， 25 免得身體不協調，總要肢體彼此照顧。 26 假如一個肢體受苦，所有的肢體就一同受苦；假如一個肢體得光榮，所有的肢體就一同快樂。

27 你們是基督的身體，並且各自都是肢體。 28 上帝在教會所設立的：第一是使徒；第二是先知；第三是教師；其次是行異能的；再次是醫病的恩賜，幫助人的，治理事的，說方言的。 29 難道個個都是使徒嗎？難道個個都是先知嗎？難道個個都是教師嗎？難道個個都是行異能的嗎？ 30 難道個個都是有醫病的恩賜嗎？難道個個都是說方言的嗎？難道個個都是翻方言的嗎？ 31 你們要追求那更大的恩賜。

愛

我現今把最妙的道指示你們。

1 CORINTHIANS 12

Spiritual Gifts

1 My friends, you asked me about spiritual gifts. 2 I want you to remember that before you became followers of the Lord, you were led in all the wrong ways by idols that cannot even talk.

3 Now I want you to know that if you are led by God's Spirit, you will say that Jesus is Lord, and you will never curse Jesus.
4  t There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but they all come from the same Spirit. 5 There are different ways to serve the same Lord,

6 and we can each do different things. Yet the same God works in all of us and helps us in everything we do.
7 The Spirit has given each of us a special way of serving others. 8 Some of us can speak with wisdom, while others can speak with knowledge, but these gifts come from the same Spirit. 9 To others the Spirit has given great faith or the power to heal the sick 10 or the power to work mighty miracles. Some of us are prophets, and some of us recognize when God's Spirit is present.t Others can speak different kinds of languages, and still others can tell what these languages mean.

11 But it is the Spirit who does all this and decides which gifts to give to each of us.

One Body with Many Parts

12  t The body of Christ has many different parts, just as any other body does.

13 Some of us are Jews, and others are Gentiles. Some of us are slaves, and others are free. But God's Spirit baptized each of us and made us part of the body of Christ. Now we each drink from that same Spirit.t
14 Our bodies don't have just one part. They have many parts. 15 Suppose a foot says, “I'm not a hand, and so I'm not part of the body.” Wouldn't the foot still belong to the body? 16 Or suppose an ear says, “I'm not an eye, and so I'm not part of the body.” Wouldn't the ear still belong to the body? 17 If our bodies were only an eye, we couldn't hear a thing. And if they were only an ear, we couldn't smell a thing.

18 But God has put all parts of our body together in the way that he decided is best.
19 A body isn't really a body, unless there is more than one part. 20 It takes many parts to make a single body. 21 That's why the eyes cannot say they don't need the hands. That's also why the head cannot say it doesn't need the feet. 22 In fact, we cannot get along without the parts of the body that seem to be the weakest. 23 We take special care to dress up some parts of our bodies. We are modest about our personal parts,

24 but we don't have to be modest about other parts.
God put our bodies together in such a way that even the parts that seem the least important are valuable. 25 He did this to make all parts of the body work together smoothly, with each part caring about the others.

26 If one part of our body hurts, we hurt all over. If one part of our body is honored, the whole body will be happy.
27 Together you are the body of Christ. Each one of you is part of his body. 28 t First, God chose some people to be apostles and prophets and teachers for the church. But he also chose some to work miracles or heal the sick or help others or be leaders or speak different kinds of languages. 29 Not everyone is an apostle. Not everyone is a prophet. Not everyone is a teacher. Not everyone can work miracles. 30 Not everyone can heal the sick. Not everyone can speak different kinds of languages. Not everyone can tell what these languages mean. 31 I want you to desire the best gifts.t So I will show you a much better way.
