Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.

Brothers and sisters, I want you to know about the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.

Now, dear brothers and sisters, regarding your question about the special abilities the Spirit gives us. I don’t want you to misunderstand this.

Now concerning spiritual gifts: brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be unaware.

With regard to spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.

Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord.There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons.But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,and 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.But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

If anyone thinks that he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord’s commandment.

Pursue love, yet earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.For the one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people, but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.But the one who prophesies speaks to people for edification, exhortation, and consolation.The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but the one who prophesies edifies the church.Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but rather that you would prophesy; and greater is the one who prophesies than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edification.But now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophecy, or of teaching?Yet even lifeless instruments, whether flute or harp, in producing a sound, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp?For if the trumpet produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?So you too, unless you produce intelligible speech by the tongue, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will just be talking to the air.There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and none is incapable of meaning.So if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be unintelligible to the one who speaks, and the one who speaks will be unintelligible to me.So you too, since you are eager to possess spiritual gifts, strive to excel for the edification of the church.Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue is to pray that he may interpret.For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unproductive.What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit, but I will sing with the mind also.For otherwise, if you bless God in the spirit only, how will the one who occupies the place of the outsider know to say the“ Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you are saying?For you are giving thanks well enough, but the other person is not edified.I thank God, I speak in tongues more than you all;

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as indeed the rest of mankind do, who have no hope.

And He gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, some as pastors and teachers,

For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, of our affliction which occurred in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.

But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.

For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our fathers were all under the cloud and they all passed through the sea;
