1. Korinťanom 12

1 A nechcem bratia, aby ste nevedeli o duchovných daroch.2 Viete, že keď ste boli pohanmi, ťahalo vás to a chodili ste za nemými modlami.3 Preto vám vyhlasujem, že nik, kto hovorí v Božom Duchu, nepovie: „Prekliaty Ježiš!“, a nik nemôže povedať: „Ježiš je Pán“, iba ak v Duchu Svätom.4 Dary milosti sú rozličné, ale Duch je ten istý.5 Aj služby sú rozličné, ale Pán je ten istý.6 A rozličné sú aj účinky, ale Boh, ktorý pôsobí všetko vo všetkých, je ten istý.7 Každý však dostáva prejavy Ducha na všeobecný úžitok.8 Jeden dostáva skrze Ducha slovo múdrosti, iný podľa toho istého Ducha slovo poznania,9 iný vieru v tom istom Duchu a iný v tom istom Duchu dar uzdravovať,10 iný schopnosť robiť zázraky, iný prorokovať, iný rozlišovať duchov, iný dar rozličných jazykov a iný vysvetľovať jazyky.11 Ale toto všetko pôsobí jeden a ten istý Duch, ktorý rozdeľuje každému, ako chce.12 Lebo ako je jedno telo a má mnoho údov, ale všetky údy tela sú jedno telo, hoci je ich mnoho, tak aj Kristus.13 Veď my všetci, či Židia alebo Gréci, či otroci alebo slobodní, boli sme v jednom Duchu pokrstení v jedno telo. A všetci sme boli napojení jedným Duchom.14 Telo nie je jeden úd, ale mnoho údov.15 A keby noha povedala: „Nie som ruka, nepatrím k telu,“ tým ešte neprestáva patriť k telu.16 A keby povedalo ucho: „Nie som oko, nepatrím k telu,“ tým ešte neprestáva patriť k telu.17 Keby bolo celé telo okom, kde by bol sluch? A keby bolo celé sluchom, kde by bol čuch?18 Ale Boh rozložil údy, každý jeden z nich, v tele, ako chcel.19 Keby boli všetky jedným údom, kde by bolo telo?20 No takto je mnoho údov, ale iba jedno telo.21 A oko nemôže povedať ruke: „Nepotrebujem ťa!“ ani hlava nohám: „Nepotrebujem vás!“22 Ba čo viac, údy tela, ktoré sa zdajú slabšie, sú nevyhnutne potrebné.23 A údy tela, ktoré pokladáme za menej ušľachtilé, zaodievame s väčšou úctou a naše nečestné údy majú tým väčšiu česť,24 kým naše čestné nič také nepotrebujú. Boh telo vyvážil tak, že slabšiemu údu dal väčšiu česť,25 aby nebola v tele roztržka, ale aby sa údy rovnako starali jeden o druhý.26 Ak teda trpí jeden úd, trpia spolu s ním všetky údy, a ak vychvaľujú jeden úd, radujú sa s ním všetky údy.27 Vy ste Kristovo telo a jednotlivo ste údy.28 A v Cirkvi Boh niektorých ustanovil po prvé za apoštolov, po druhé za prorokov, po tretie za učiteľov, potom sú zázraky, ďalej dary uzdravovať, pomáhať, viesť, dar rozličných jazykov.29 Sú vari všetci apoštolmi? Sú všetci prorokmi? Všetci učiteľmi? Robia všetci zázraky?30 Majú všetci dar uzdravovať? Hovoria všetci jazykmi? Vari všetci vysvetľujú?31 Ale usilujte sa o vyššie dary milosti. A ešte vznešenejšiu cestu vám ukážem.

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.
