For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established --

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

so that you come short in no gift, eagerly 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 on behalf of one against 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 diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.

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

to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another [different] kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.

Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I 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 oracles of God. If anyone ministers, [let him do it] as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

"Therefore, indeed, 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 the wisdom of God also 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 of My Spirit on 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 showed by 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.

Now 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 the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another [different] kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.

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

Pursue love, and desire spiritual [gifts,] but especially that you may prophesy.

But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.

I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies [is] greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.

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 think soberly, 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 from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.

For if there is first a willing mind, [it is] accepted according to what one has, [and] not according to what he does not have.

Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.
