12  Aman nocnihuan, nicnequi para xcajsicamatican ica on tetlayocoliltin yejhuan on Espíritu Santo mechmaca yejhuan mechhueliltia nenquichihuaj on tlen aman hueli nenquichihuaj.

Nemejhuamej nenquimatztoquej ica ijcuac xe nenquineltocayaj Cristo, mechcajcayahuayaj para nenquihueyilisquej on tlamachijchihualtin intajtzitzihuan yejhuan xhuelij quijtohuaj nion se tlajtojli. Yejhua ica nicnequi para cuajli xmatican ica yejhuan tlajtohua ican ipoder on Espíritu Santo xhuelis quijtos: “¡Jesús yejhua xcuajli tlacatl!” Niman no on yejhuan xtlajtohua ican ipoder on Espíritu Santo, xhuelis quijtos: “¡Jesús yejhua toTeco!”

Oncaj sesetlamantic tetlayocoliltin yejhuan se tlacatl huelis quiselis, pero san se Espíritu Santo quintemaca. Oncaj miyec sesetlamantic tlinon ica quitequipanohuaj toTeco, pero san se toTeco tinochimej tictequipanohuaj. Niman oncaj miyec sesetlamantic tequitl yejhuan Dios quichihua ipan tonemilis, pero san se Dios quichihua on tequitl. Ipan cada se on Espíritu Santo quipantlantia ipoder para quimpalehuiya nochimej. In se ejemplo. On Espíritu Santo sequimej quinmaca on tetlayocolijli yejhuan quinhueliltia para tlajtosquej ican tlamatquilistli, niman ocsequimej sa no yejhua on Espíritu quinmaca on tetlayocolijli yejhuan quinhueliltia para tlajtosquej ican tlaixmatquilistli. Itech sa no yejhua on Espíritu sequimej quiseliaj cojtic tlaneltoctli, niman ocsequimej quiseliaj poder para huelij quimpajtiaj on cocoxquej. 10 Sequimej itech sa no yejhua on Espíritu quiseliaj on tetlayocolijli yejhuan quinhueliltia quichihuaj milagros, niman ocsequimej quiseliaj on tetlayocolijli yejhuan quinhueliltia quiteijliaj on tiotlajtojli yejhuan quiseliaj itech Dios. On Espíritu sequimej quinmaca on tetlayocolijli yejhuan quinhueliltia para quitaj catlejhua tetlayocolijli quisa itech on Espíritu Santo niman catlejhua quisa itech on xcuajcualtin espíritus. Sequimej quiseliaj on tetlayocolijli yejhuan quinhueliltia tlajtlajtohuaj ocsequi yencuic tlajtoltin. Niman sequimej quiseliaj on tetlayocolijli yejhuan quinhueliltia para huelij cajsicamati niman quiteijlia on tlen nijtohua ican on yencuic tlajtoltin. 11 Nochi yejhua in tlajtlamach san se Espíritu quichihua. Niman sa no quen yejhua quinequi, ijqui quinmaca itlayocolilhuan cada se tlacatl.

Tinochimej titochihuaj san se tlalnacayotl

12 Itlalnacayo se tlacatl miyec partes quipia. Pero masqui miyec on tlajtlamach, san se tlalnacayotl nochihuaj. No ijqui, tej, tejhuamej titochihuaj itlalnacayo Cristo. Masqui timiyequej yejhuan ticneltocaj Cristo, tinemij san secan quen itlalnacayo. 13 Tinochimej oticselijquej san se Espíritu Santo. Ijcuac oticselijquej, san se tlalnacayotl otitochijquej masqui tihebreos noso xtihebreos, masqui titlanamactin noso titlamacahualtin. Tinochimej, tej, oticselijquej san se Espíritu.

14 Sen tlalnacayotl xnochijchihua san ica se parte, yej ican miyec partes. 15 Tla on icxitl quijtosquia: “Nejhua xnimatli niman yejhua ica xnitlapohuajli ipan on tlalnacayotl”, xsan yejhua ica on xoc tlapohuajli yes ipan on tlalnacayotl. 16 Noso tla on nacastli quijtosquia: “Nejhua xnixtololojtli niman yejhua ica xnitlapohuajli ipan on tlalnacayotl”, xsan yejhua ica on xoc tlapohuajli yes ipan on tlalnacayotl. 17 Tla on tlalnacayotl nochi ixtololojtli yesquia, ¿quen ijqui, tej, huelisquia tlacaquisquia? Noso tla on tlalnacayotl nochi nacastli yesquia, ¿quen ijqui, tej, huelisquia tlajnecuisquiaj? 18 Pero Dios oquitlalij cada parte ipan totlalnacayo quen yejhua oquinec. 19 Tla se tlacatl tlachijchiutli yesquia san ica se parte, ¿canon onyasquia itlalnacayo? 20 Niman masqui aman oncaj miyec partes ipan totlalnacayo, nochi on partes san se tlalnacayotl nochihuaj.

21 Yejhua ica, tixtololoj xhueli quijlia on toma: “Xtinechpolohua.” Nion totzontecon hueli quimijlia tocxihuan: “Xnennechpolohuaj.” 22 Ca, yej ocse tlamantic. Ipartes totlalnacayo yejhuan nesi quen xmás huejhueyixtoquej, más nonequij sanoyej. 23 Niman ipartes totlalnacayo yejhuan nesi quen xipan cuenta tictlaliaj, nonequij cuajli tictlapachosquej. No ijqui ipartes totlalnacayo yejhuan xmás ticpanextiaj, más cuajli tictlapachosquej. 24 Ipartes totlalnacayo yejhuan más ticpanextiaj xmás polihui notlapachos cuajli. Dios, tej, oquichijchiu on totlalnacayo para ma quiselij más tetlacaitalistli on parte yejhuan xmás cualtzin. 25 Ijcon oquichijchiu para ma ca xexelijtiasquej on partes ipan totlalnacayo, yej cada parte ma quinnequi on ocsequimej partes. 26 Ijcon, tej, tla se iparte totlalnacayo tlajyohuiya, nochimej on ocsequimej no tlajyohuiyaj; niman ijcuac se parte quiselia tetlacaitalistli, nochimej on ocsequimej no paquij.

27 Nemochimej nemochihuaj itlalnacayo Cristo, niman cada se de nemejhuamej se parte ipan on itlalnacayo. 28 Ijcon, tej, intzajlan on yejhuan tlaneltocaquej, Dios oquincalactij miyequej ipan intequiu. Achtoj ocalactij apóstoles, ica ome tiotlajtojquej, ica yeyi temachtijquej, ica nahui on yejhuan quichihua milagros, quemaj on yejhuan huelij tepajtiaj, quemaj on yejhuan tepalehuiyaj, quemaj on yejhuan teyecanaj, niman quemaj on yejhuan tlajtlajtohuaj ican ocsequi yencuic tlajtoltin. 29 Tiquitaj, tej, ica xnochimej apóstoles, nion nochimej tiotlajtojquej. Xnochimej temachtijquej nion nochimej quichihuaj milagros. 30 Xnochimej quipiaj poder para tepajtiaj. No xnochimej, tej, tlajtlajtohuaj ican ocsequi yencuic tlajtoltin noso hueli cajsicamati niman quiteijlia on tlen nijtohua ica on ocsequi yencuic tlajtoltin. 31 Pero nemejhuamej más xtejtemocan nenquiselisquej itech Dios on tetlayocoliltin yejhuan más quimpalehuis on yejhuan tlaneltocaquej.

Niman aman nejhua nemechititis se ojtli yejhuan más sanoyej cuajli.

Concerning Spiritual Gifts

12 Now about the gifts of the Spirit,(A) brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.(B) You know that when you were pagans,(C) somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.(D) Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,”(E) and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,”(F) except by the Holy Spirit.(G)

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit(H) distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone(I) it is the same God(J) at work.

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.(K) To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom,(L) to another a message of knowledge(M) by means of the same Spirit, to another faith(N) by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing(O) by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers,(P) to another prophecy,(Q) to another distinguishing between spirits,(R) to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a](S) and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit,(T) and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

Unity and Diversity in the Body

12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body,(U) so it is with Christ.(V) 13 For we were all baptized(W) by[c] one Spirit(X) so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free(Y)—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.(Z) 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.(AA)

15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17 If 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? 18 But in fact God has placed(AB) the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.(AC) 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.(AD)

21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

27 Now you are the body of Christ,(AE) and each one of you is a part of it.(AF) 28 And God has placed in the church(AG) first of all apostles,(AH) second prophets,(AI) third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing,(AJ) of helping, of guidance,(AK) and of different kinds of tongues.(AL) 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues[d]?(AM) Do all interpret? 31 Now eagerly desire(AN) the greater gifts.

Love Is Indispensable

And yet I will show you the most excellent way.
