But about the things of the spirit, my brothers, it is not right for you to be without teaching.

2

You are conscious that when you were Gentiles, in whatever way you were guided, you went after images without voice or power.

3

So it is my desire for you to be clear about this that no one is able to say by the Spirit of God that Jesus is cursed and no one is able to say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

Now there are different qualities given to men, but the same Spirit.

5

And there are different sorts of servants, but the same Lord.

6

And there are different operations, but the same God, who is working all things in all.

7

But to every man some form of the Spirit's working is given for the common good.

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.
