2 (A)You know that when you were [a]pagans, you were (B)led [b]astray to the (C)mute idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking [c](D)by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is [d](E)accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is (F)Lord,” except [e](G)by the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there are (H)varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12:2-4
New International Version
2 You know that when you were pagans,(A) somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.(B) 3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,”(C) and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,”(D) except by the Holy Spirit.(E)
4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit(F) distributes them.

2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
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.
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
