1 Corinthians 12:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 Therefore, I wish you to understand that no one speaking under the influence of the Spirit of God says, “May Jesus be cursed.”[a] Likewise, no one can say “Jesus is Lord,” except under the influence of the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit Distributes the Gifts for the Common Good.[b] 4 There are different varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.
