1 Corinthians 12

DOUAI-RHEIMS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Now concerning spiritual things, my brethren, I would not have you ignorant.	1 Now concerning spiritual things, I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers.
2 You know that when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were led.	2 You know that when you were Gentiles, you approached mute idols, doing what you were led to do.
3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say the Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.	3 Because of this, I would have you know that no one speaking in the Spirit of God utters a curse against Jesus. And no one is able to say that Jesus is Lord, except in the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit;	4 Truly, there are diverse graces, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord;	5 And there are diverse ministries, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all.	6 And there are diverse works, but the same God, who works everything in everyone.
7 And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit.	7 However, the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one toward what is beneficial.
8 To one indeed, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom: and to another, the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;	8 Certainly, to one, through the Spirit, is given words of wisdom; but to another, according to the same Spirit, words of knowledge;
9 To another, faith in the same spirit; to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit;	9 to another, in the same Spirit, faith; to another, in the one Spirit, the gift of healing;
10 To another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, the discerning of spirits; to another, diverse kinds of tongues; to another, interpretation of speeches.	10 to another, miraculous works; to another, prophecy; to another, the discernment of spirits; to another, different kinds of languages; to another, the interpretation of words.
11 But all these things one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will.	11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one according to his will.
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body, so also is Christ.	12 For just as the body is one, and yet has many parts, so all the parts of the body, though they are many, are only one body. So also is Christ.
13 For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink.	13 And indeed, in one Spirit, we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether servant or free. And we all drank in the one Spirit.
14 For the body also is not one member, but many.	14 For the body, too, is not one part, but many.
15 If the foot should say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body ?	15 If the foot were to say, “Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body,” would it then not be of the body?
16 And if the ear should say, because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body ?	16 And if the ear were to say, “Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body,” would it then not be of the body?
17 If the whole body were the eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?	17 If the whole body were the eye, how would it hear? If the whole were hearing, how would it smell?
18 But now God hath set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased him.	18 But instead, God has placed the parts, each one of them, in the body, just as it has pleased him.
19 And if they all were one member, where would be the body?	19 So if they were all one part, how would it be a body?
20 But now there are many members indeed, yet one body.	20 But instead, there are many parts, indeed, yet one body.
21 And the eye cannot say to the hand: I need not thy help; nor again the head to the feet: I have no need of you.	21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need for your works.” And again, the head cannot say to the feet, “You are of no use to me.”
22 Yea, much more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body, are more necessary.	22 In fact, so much more necessary are those parts of the body which seem to be weaker.
23 And such as we think to be the less honourable members of the body, about these we put more abundant honour; and those that are our uncomely parts, have more abundant comeliness.	23 And though we consider certain parts of the body to be less noble, we surround these with more abundant dignity, and so, those parts which are less presentable end up with more abundant respect.
24 But our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour,	24 However, our presentable parts have no such need, since God has tempered the body together, distributing the more abundant honor to that which has the need,
25 That there might be no schism in the body; but the members might be mutually careful one for another.	25 so that there might be no schism in the body, but instead the parts themselves might take care of one another.
26 And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it; or if one member glory, all the members rejoice with it.	26 And so, if one part suffers anything, all the parts suffer with it. Or, if one part finds glory, all the parts rejoice with it.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members of member.	27 Now you are the body of Christ, and parts like any part.
28 And God indeed hath set some in the church; first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors; after that miracles; then the graces of healing, helps, governments, kinds of tongues, interpretations of speeches.	28 And indeed, God has established a certain order in the Church: first Apostles, second Prophets, third Teachers, next miracle-workers, and then the grace of healing, of helping others, of governing, of different kinds of languages, and of the interpretation of words.
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all doctors?	29 Are all Apostles? Are all Prophets? Are all Teachers?
30 Are all workers of miracles? Have all the grace of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?	30 Are all workers of miracles? Do all have the grace of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?
31 But be zealous for the better gifts. And I shew unto you yet a more excellent way.	31 But be zealous for the better charisms. And I reveal to you a yet more excellent way.
