고린도전서: 고린도교회의 문제점들에 대한 사도적 권면

^12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. ^12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. ^12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. ^12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. ^12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. ^12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. ^12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. ^12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; ^12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; ^12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: ^12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. ^12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. ^12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. ^12:14 For the body is not one member, but many. ^12:15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? ^12:16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? ^12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? ^12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. ^12:19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? ^12:20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. ^12:21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. ^12:22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: ^12:23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. ^12:24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: ^12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. ^12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. ^12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. ^12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. ^12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? ^12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? ^12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. ^13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. ^13:2 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, and have not charity, I am nothing. ^13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. ^13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, ^13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; ^13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; ^13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. ^13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. ^13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. ^13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. ^13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. ^13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. ^13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. ^14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. ^14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. ^14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. ^14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. ^14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. ^14:6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? ^14:7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? ^14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? ^14:9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. ^14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. ^14:11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. ^14:12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. ^14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. ^14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. ^14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. ^14:16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
