1 Corinthians 12
Spiritual Gifts
1Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be
ignorant. 2You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you
were influenced and led astray to mute idols. 3Therefore I tell you
that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be
cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy
Spirit.
4There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5There
are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6There are
different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in
all men.
7Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the
common good. 8To one there is given through the Spirit the message
of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same
Spirit, 9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of
healing by that one Spirit, 10to another miraculous powers, to
another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to
another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still
another the interpretation of tongues. 11All these are the work of
one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he
determines.
12The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and
though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with
Christ. 13For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one
bodywhether Jews or Greeks, slave or freeand we were all given
the one Spirit to drink.
14Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. 15If the
foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the
body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body.
16And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not
belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part
of the body. 17If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense
of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense
of smell be? 18But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body,
every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19If they were all
one part, where would the body be? 20As it is, there are many
parts, but one body.
21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head
cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" 22On the contrary,
those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
23and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with
special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated
with special modesty, 24while our presentable parts need no special
treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has
given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25so that there
should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have
equal concern for each other. 26If one part suffers, every part
suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with
it.
27Now you are the
body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 28And in the
church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets,
third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts
of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of
administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues.
29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work
miracles? 30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in
tongues[d]? Do all interpret? 31But eagerly
desire[e] the greater gifts.
And now I will show you the most excellent way.
I saw too many people speaking in tongues, or faking it in
CHC.

1 Corinthians 14
Gifts of Prophecy and Tongues
1Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts,
especially the gift of prophecy. 2For anyone who speaks in a tongue
does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him;
he utters mysteries with his spirit. 3But everyone who prophesies
speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.
4He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies
edifies the church. 5I would like every one of you to speak in
tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is
greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so
that the church may be edified.
6Now, brothers,
if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you,
unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word
of instruction? 7Even in the case of lifeless
things that make sounds, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone
know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the
notes? 8Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will
get ready for battle? 9So it is with you. Unless you speak
intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you
are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. 10Undoubtedly
there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is
without meaning. 11If then I do not grasp the meaning of what
someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a
foreigner to me. 12So it is with you. Since you are eager to have
spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the
church.
13For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he
may interpret what he says. 14For if I pray in a tongue, my
spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. 15So what
shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with
my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my
mind. 16If you are praising God with your spirit, how can one who
finds himself among those who do not understand[e] say "Amen" to
your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?
17You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other man is not
edified.
18I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19But
in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to
instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
20Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be
infants, but in your thinking be adults. 21In the Law it is
written:
"Through men of strange tongues
and through the lips of foreigners
I will speak to this people,
but even then they will not listen to me,"[f] says the Lord.
22Tongues, then,
are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy,
however, is for believers, not for unbelievers. 23So if the whole
church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who
do not understand[g] or some unbelievers come in, will they not say
that you are out of your mind? 24But if an
unbeliever or someone who does not understand[h]comes in while
everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a
sinner and will be judged by all, 25and the secrets of his heart
will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God,
exclaiming, "God is really among you!"
