1. Brothers and sisters, I want you to know about the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
2. You know that at one time you were unbelievers. You were somehow drawn away to worship statues of gods that couldn't even speak.
3. So I tell you that no one who is speaking with the help of God's Spirit says, "May Jesus be cursed." And without the help of the Holy Spirit no one can say, "Jesus is Lord."
4. There are different kinds of gifts. But they are all given by the same Spirit.
5. There are different ways to serve. But they all come from the same Lord.
6. There are different ways to work. But the same God makes it possible for all of us to have all those different things.
7. The Holy Spirit is given to each of us in a special way. That is for the good of all.
8. To some people the Spirit gives the message of wisdom. To others the same Spirit gives the message of knowledge.
9. To others the same Spirit gives faith. To others that one Spirit gives gifts of healing.
