Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same spirit, and there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord, and there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom, to another the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit,to another faith by the same Spirit to another the gift of healing,by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits; to another diverse kinds of tongues; (languages)to another the interpretation of tongues:: but all these worketh that one and the selfsame spirit,dividing to every man severally as He will. For the body is one, and hath many members of that one body, being many, are one body: So also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we are Jews or Gentiles; whether we be bond or free; and have been made to drink into one spirit. For the body is not one member, but many."(KJV)
