For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be strengthened;

that you were enriched in everything in Him in all utterance and all knowledge,

so that you are not lacking in any gift, patiently waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up one over the other.

For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

There are different distributions of gifts, but the same Spirit.

And there are different distributions of works, but it is the same God who works each and every work.

for to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another a word of knowledge through the same Spirit,

to another works of power, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another tongues of nationalities, to another the interpretation of tongues.

And God has placed some in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that works of power, then gifts of healing, helps, governings, tongues of nationalities.

Not everyone has gifts of healing? Not everyone speaks with tongues? Not everyone interprets?

And if I were to have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I were to have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

If anyone speaks, let him speak as the words of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and might forever and ever. Amen.

Therefore, behold, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,

Therefore also the wisdom of God said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,

And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out from My Spirit upon all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams.

And in these days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.

Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and gave a sign through the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius Caesar.

Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

And Judas and Silas, themselves being prophets also, exhorted and strengthened the brethren with many words.

Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

to another works of power, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another tongues of nationalities, to another the interpretation of tongues.

And God has placed some in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that works of power, then gifts of healing, helps, governings, tongues of nationalities.

And if I were to have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I were to have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

Pursue love, and be zealous over spiritual matters, but rather that you may prophesy.

But he who prophesies speaks to men for building up and exhortation and comfort.

I wish you all spoke with tongues, but rather that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive building up.

which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets:

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

Do not despise prophecies.

For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to understand with a sound mind, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

Now a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.

So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, showing through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.

For if something is presented eagerly, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have.

Therefore let us, as many as are complete, be of this mind; and if in anything you think differently, God will reveal even this to you.
