12

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
