Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant. 1Co 12:4-11Eph 4:111Co 14:1-181Co 14:372Pe 3:81Co 10:11Th 4:132Co 1:8 You know that when you were heathen, 1 you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led. 1Pe 4:31Th 1:9Psa 115:5Gal 4:8Eph 2:11-121Co 6:11Hab 2:18-19Jer 10:5 Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says, “Jesus is accursed.” No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” but by the Holy Spirit. 1Jn 4:2-3Mat 16:16-17Rom 10:92Co 3:5Jhn 13:131Co 8:6Jhn 15:26Mat 22:43
Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. 1Pe 4:101Co 12:28Rom 12:4-61Co 12:8-11Heb 2:4Eph 4:4-6Eph 4:11 There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord. Eph 4:11-12Rom 12:6-8Rom 14:8-91Co 8:6Mat 23:101Co 12:28-29Act 10:36Php 2:11 There are various kinds of workings, but the same God who works all things in all. 1Co 3:71Co 12:11Heb 13:21Jhn 5:17Col 1:29Col 3:11Eph 4:6Php 2:13 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all. 1Pe 4:10-11Rom 12:6-81Co 14:191Co 14:121Co 14:171Co 14:22-26Eph 4:7-121Co 14:5 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit, Pro 2:61Co 2:6-10Eph 1:17-181Co 1:52Co 8:7Psa 143:101Co 1:30Gen 41:38-39 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, Jas 5:14-152Co 4:13Eph 2:8Heb 11:331Co 13:2Mat 17:19-201Co 12:28Mat 21:21 and to another workings of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of languages, and to another the interpretation of languages. 1Co 14:391Jn 4:1Mrk 16:171Co 12:28-301Co 14:31-32Jol 2:281Co 14:26-29Gal 3:5 But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires. 1Co 12:4Heb 2:42Co 10:131Co 12:6Eph 4:71Co 7:171Co 7:7Dan 4:35
For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. Rom 12:4-5Col 3:151Co 12:27Eph 4:15-16Col 2:19Eph 5:301Co 10:17Eph 4:4 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit. Eph 4:5Col 3:11Gal 3:28Jhn 7:37-391Pe 3:21Rom 6:3-6Act 1:5Eph 2:11-22
For the body is not one member, but many. 1Co 12:27-281Co 12:121Co 12:19Eph 4:25 If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body. Jdg 9:8-152Ki 14:9 If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body. Rom 12:31Co 12:22Php 2:3Rom 12:10 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be? Psa 139:13-161Co 12:21Pro 20:12Psa 94:91Co 12:291Sa 9:9 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired. 1Co 12:28Rom 12:31Co 12:111Co 3:5Luk 12:321Co 12:24Luk 10:21Psa 135:6 If they were all one member, where would the body be? But now they are many members, but one body. 1Co 12:141Co 12:12 The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.” Ezr 10:1-5Neh 4:16-21Job 29:111Sa 25:32Num 10:31-32 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. Pro 14:28Ecc 9:14-15Ecc 4:9-122Co 1:11Ecc 5:9Tit 2:9-10 Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant modesty, Gen 3:21Gen 3:7 while our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part, Gen 2:25Gen 3:11 that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 2Co 13:111Co 1:10-12Jhn 17:21-262Co 8:161Co 3:32Co 7:12 When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. When one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Rom 12:15Gal 6:2Heb 13:31Pe 3:82Co 11:28-29
Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. Eph 4:12Eph 5:30Col 1:24Rom 12:51Co 12:121Co 12:14-20Eph 1:23Eph 5:23 God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages. Eph 4:11-13Rom 12:6-81Co 12:181Co 12:7-111Ti 5:17Eph 2:20Eph 3:5Heb 13:24 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers? 1Co 12:4-111Co 12:14-20 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret? 1Co 12:10 But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you. 1Co 13:11Co 14:39Mat 5:6Php 3:81Co 8:1Luk 10:42Heb 11:4
