1 Corinthians 12

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 About the gifts of the Spirit, brothers, I want you to be quite certain.	1 Περι δε των πνευματικων, αδελφοι, δεν θελω να αγνοητε.
2 You remember that, when you were pagans, you were irresistibly drawn to inarticulate heathen gods.	2 Εξευρετε οτι ησθε εθνικοι, συρομενοι οπως εσυρεσθε προς τα ειδωλα τα αφωνα.
3 Because of that, I want to make it quite clear to you that no one who says 'A curse on Jesus' can bespeaking in the Spirit of God, and nobody is able to say, 'Jesus is Lord' except in the Holy Spirit.	3 Δια τουτο σας γνωστοποιω οτι ουδεις λαλων δια Πνευματος Θεου λεγει αναθεμα τον Ιησουν, και ουδεις δυναται να ειπη Κυριον Ιησουν, ειμη δια Πνευματος Αγιου.
4 There are many different gifts, but it is always the same Spirit;	4 Ειναι δε διαιρεσεις χαρισματων, το Πνευμα ομως το αυτο?
5 there are many different ways of serving, but it is always the same Lord.	5 ειναι και διαιρεσεις διακονιων, ο Κυριος ομως ο αυτος?
6 There are many different forms of activity, but in everybody it is the same God who is at work in themal .	6 ειναι και διαιρεσεις ενεργηματων, ο Θεος ομως ειναι ο αυτος, ο ενεργων τα παντα εν πασι.
7 The particular manifestation of the Spirit granted to each one is to be used for the general good.	7 Διδεται δε εις εκαστον η φανερωσις του Πνευματος προς το συμφερον.
8 To one is given from the Spirit the gift of utterance expressing wisdom; to another the gift of utteranceexpressing knowledge, in accordance with the same Spirit;	8 Διοτι εις αλλον μεν διδεται δια του Πνευματος λογος σοφιας, εις αλλον δε λογος γνωσεως κατα το αυτο Πνευμα,
9 to another, faith, from the same Spirit; and to another, the gifts of healing, through this one Spirit;	9 εις αλλον δε πιστις δια του αυτου Πνευματος, εις αλλον δε χαρισματα ιαματων δια του αυτου Πνευματος,
10 to another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, the power of distinguishingspirits; to one, the gift of different tongues and to another, the interpretation of tongues.	10 εις αλλον δε ενεργειαι θαυματων, εις αλλον δε προφητεια, εις αλλον δε διακρισεις πνευματων, εις αλλον δε ειδη γλωσσων, εις αλλον δε ερμηνεια γλωσσων.
11 But at work in al these is one and the same Spirit, distributing them at wil to each individual.	11 Παντα δε ταυτα ενεργει το εν και το αυτο Πνευμα, διανεμον ιδια εις εκαστον καθως θελει.
12 For as with the human body which is a unity although it has many parts -- al the parts of the body,though many, stil making up one single body -- so it is with Christ.	12 Διοτι καθως το σωμα ειναι εν και εχει μελη πολλα, παντα δε τα μελη του σωματος του ενος, πολλα οντα, ειναι εν σωμα, ουτω και ο Χριστος?
13 We were baptised into one body in a single Spirit, Jews as wel as Greeks, slaves as wel as freemen, and we were all given the same Spirit to drink.	13 διοτι ημεις παντες δια του ενος Πνευματος εβαπτισθημεν εις εν σωμα, ειτε Ιουδαιοι ειτε Ελληνες, ειτε δουλοι ειτε ελευθεροι, και παντες εις εν Πνευμα εποτισθημεν.
14 And indeed the body consists not of one member but of many.	14 Διοτι το σωμα δεν ειναι εν μελος, αλλα πολλα.
15 If the foot were to say, 'I am not a hand and so I do not belong to the body,' it does not belong to thebody any the less for that.	15 Εαν ειπη ο πους, Επειδη δεν ειμαι χειρ, δεν ειμαι εκ του σωματος, δια τουτο ταχα δεν ειναι εκ του σωματος;
16 Or if the ear were to say, 'I am not an eye, and so I do not belong to the body,' that would not stop itsbelonging to the body.	16 Και εαν ειπη το ωτιον, Επειδη δεν ειμαι οφθαλμος, δεν ειμαι εκ του σωματος, δια τουτο δεν ειναι ταχα εκ του σωματος;
17 If the whole body were just an eye, how would there be any hearing? If the whole body were hearing,how would there be any smel ing?	17 Εαν ολον το σωμα ηναι οφθαλμος, που η ακοη; Εαν ολον ακοη, που η οσφρησις;
18 As it is, God has put al the separate parts into the body as he chose.	18 Αλλα τωρα ο Θεος εθεσε τα μελη εν εκαστον αυτων εις το σωμα καθως ηθελησεν.
19 If they were al the same part, how could it be a body?	19 Εαν ομως παντα ησαν εν μελος, που το σωμα;
20 As it is, the parts are many but the body is one.	20 Αλλα τωρα ειναι μεν πολλα μελη, εν ομως σωμα.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, 'I have no need of you,' and nor can the head say to the feet, 'I haveno need of you.'	21 Και δεν δυναται ο οφθαλμος να ειπη προς την χειρα? Δεν εχω χρειαν σου? η παλιν η κεφαλη προς τους ποδας? Δεν εχω χρειαν υμων.
22 What is more, it is precisely the parts of the body that seem to be the weakest which are theindispensable ones.	22 Αλλα πολυ περισσοτερον τα μελη του σωματος, τα οποια φαινονται οτι ειναι ασθενεστερα, ταυτα ειναι αναγκαια,
23 It is the parts of the body which we consider least dignified that we surround with the greatest dignity;and our less presentable parts are given greater presentability	23 και εκεινα τα οποια νομιζομεν οτι ειναι τα ατιμοτερα του σωματος, εις ταυτα αποδιδομεν τιμην περισσοτεραν, και τα ασχημα ημων εχουσι περισσοτεραν ευσχημοσυνην?
24 which our presentable parts do not need. God has composed the body so that greater dignity isgiven to the parts which were without it,	24 τα δε ευσχημονα ημων δεν εχουσι χρειαν. Αλλ' ο Θεος συνεκερασε το σωμα, δωσας περισσοτεραν τιμην εις το ευτελεστερον,
25 and so that there may not be disagreements inside the body but each part may be equal y concernedfor all the others.	25 δια να μη ηναι σχισμα εν τω σωματι, αλλα να φροντιζωσι τα μελη το αυτο υπερ αλληλων.
26 If one part is hurt, al the parts share its pain. And if one part is honoured, all the parts share its joy.	26 Και ειτε πασχει εν μελος, παντα τα μελη συμπασχουσιν? ειτε τιμαται εν μελος, παντα τα μελη συγχαιρουσι.
27 Now Christ's body is yourselves, each of you with a part to play in the whole.	27 Και σεις εισθε σωμα Χριστου και μελη κατα μερος.
28 And those whom God has appointed in the Church are, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdlyteachers; after them, miraculous powers, then gifts of healing, helpful acts, guidance, various kinds of tongues.	28 Και αλλους μεν εθεσεν ο Θεος εν τη εκκλησια πρωτον αποστολους, δευτερον προφητας, τριτον διδασκαλους, επειτα θαυματα, επειτα χαρισματα ιαματων, βοηθειας, κυβερνησεις, ειδη γλωσσων.
29 Are al of them apostles? Or all prophets? Or all teachers? Or al miracle-workers?	29 Μη παντες ειναι αποστολοι; μη παντες προφηται; μη παντες διδασκαλοι; μη παντες ενεργουσι θαυματα;
30 Do al have the gifts of healing? Do al of them speak in tongues and al interpret them?	30 μη παντες εχουσι χαρισματα ιαματων; μη παντες λαλουσι γλωσσας; μη παντες διερμηνευουσι;
31 Set your mind on the higher gifts. And now I am going to put before you the best way of all.	31 Ζητειτε δε μετα ζηλου τα καλητερα χαρισματα. Και ετι πολυ υπερεχουσαν οδον σας δεικνυω.
