7. A demonstration of the Spirit is given to each person to produce what is beneficial:
8. to one is given a message of wisdom through the Spirit,to another, a message of knowledgeby the same Spirit,
9. to another, faith by the same Spirit,to another, gifts of healing by the one Spirit,
10. to another, the performing of miracles, to another, prophecy, to another, distinguishing between spirits, to another, different kinds of languages,to another, interpretation of languages.
11. But one and the same Spirit is active in all these, distributing to each person as He wills.
12. For as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of that body, though many, are one body — so also is Christ.
13. For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body — whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free — and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
14. So the body is not one part but many.
15. If the foot should say, “Because I’m not a hand, I don’t belong to the body,” in spite of this it still belongs to the body.
16. And if the ear should say, “Because I’m not an eye, I don’t belong to the body,” in spite of this it still belongs to the body.
17. If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
18. But now God has placed each one of the parts in one body just as He wanted.
