Chapter 12

¹Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I do not want you to be unaware.

¹弟兄們，論到屬靈的恩賜，我不願意你們不明白。

²You know that when you were pagans, [you were] led astray to the mute idols, however you were led.

²你們作外邦人的時候，隨事被牽引，受迷惑，去服事那啞吧偶像，這是你們知道的。

³Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, 'Jesus is accursed'; and no one can say, 'Jesus is Lord,' except by the Holy Spirit.

³所以我告訴你們，被神的靈感動的，沒有說耶穌是可咒詛的；若不是被聖靈感動的，也沒有能說耶穌是主的。

⁴Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.

⁴恩賜原有分別，聖靈卻是一位。

⁵And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord.

⁵職事也有分別，主卻是一位。

⁶There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all [persons].

⁶功用也有分別，神卻是一位，在眾人裡面運行一切的事。

⁷But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

⁷聖靈顯在各人身上，是叫人得益處。

⁸For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;

⁸這人蒙聖靈賜他智慧的言語，那人也蒙這位聖靈賜他知識的言語，

⁹to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

⁹又有一人蒙這位聖靈賜他信心，還有一人蒙這位聖靈賜他醫病的恩賜，

¹⁰and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another [various] kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues.

¹⁰又叫一人能行異能，又叫一人能作先知，又叫一人能辨別諸靈，又叫一人能說方言，又叫一人能繙方言。

¹¹But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

¹¹這一切都是這位聖靈所運行、隨己意分給各人的。

¹²For even as the body is one and [yet] has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.

¹²就如身子是一個，卻有許多肢體；而且肢體雖多，仍是一個身子；基督也是這樣。

¹³For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

¹³我們不拘是猶太人，是希利尼人，是為奴的，是自主的，都從一位聖靈受洗，成了一個身體，飲於一位聖靈。

¹⁴For the body is not one member, but many.

¹⁴身子原不是一個肢體，乃是許多肢體。

¹⁵If the foot says, 'Because I am not a hand, I am not [a part] of the body,' it is not for this reason any the less [a part] of the body.

¹⁵設若腳說：我不是手，所以不屬乎身子；他不能因此就不屬乎身子。

¹⁶And if the ear says, 'Because I am not an eye, I am not [a part] of the body,' it is not for this reason any the less [a part] of the body.

¹⁶設若耳說：我不是眼，所以不屬乎身子；他也不能因此就不屬乎身子。

¹⁷If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?

¹⁷若全身是眼，從那裡聽聲呢？若全身是耳，從那裡聞味呢？

¹⁸But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.

¹⁸但如今，神隨自己的意思把肢體俱各安排在身上了。

¹⁹If they were all one member, where would the body be?

¹⁹若都是一個肢體，身子在那裡呢？

²⁰But now there are many members, but one body.

²⁰但如今肢體是多的，身子卻是一個。

²¹And the eye cannot say to the hand, 'I have no need of you'; or again the head to the feet, 'I have no need of you.'

²¹眼不能對手說：我用不著你；頭也不能對腳說：我用不著你。

²²On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;

²²不但如此，身上肢體人以為軟弱的，更是不可少的。

²³and those [members] of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable,

²³身上肢體，我們看為不體面的，越發給他加上體面；不俊美的，越發得著俊美。

²⁴whereas our more presentable members have no need [of it]. But God has [so] composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that [member] which lacked,

²⁴我們俊美的肢體，自然用不著裝飾；但神配搭這身子，把加倍的體面給那有缺欠的肢體，

²⁵so that there may be no division in the body, but [that] the members may have the same care for one another.

²⁵免得身上分門別類，總要肢體彼此相顧。

²⁶And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if [one] member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

²⁶若一個肢體受苦，所有的肢體就一同受苦；若一個肢體得榮耀，所有的肢體就一同快樂。

²⁷Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it.

²⁷你們就是基督的身子，並且各自作肢體。

²⁸And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, [various] kinds of tongues.

²⁸神在教會所設立的：第一是使徒，第二是先知，第三是教師，其次是行異能的，再次是得恩賜醫病的，幫助人的，治理事的，說方言的。

²⁹All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not [workers of] miracles, are they?

²⁹豈都是使徒麼？豈都是先知麼？豈都是教師麼？豈都是行異能的麼？

³⁰All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they?

³⁰豈都是得恩賜醫病的麼？豈都是說方言的麼？豈都是繙方言的麼？

³¹But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I show you a still more excellent way.

³¹你們要切切的求那更大的恩賜。我現今把最妙的道指示你們。
