WEB·1 Corinthians 12

¹Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.

KJVNow^G1161 concerning^G4012 spiritual^G4152 gifts, brethren^G80, I would^G2309 not^G3756 have^G2309^(G5719) you^G5209 ignorant^G50^(G5721).

² You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.

KJVYe know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 ye were^G2258^(G5713) Gentiles^G1484, carried away^G520^(G5746) unto^G4314 these dumb^G880 idols^G1497, even as^G5613^G302 ye were led^G71^(G5712).

³ Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says, “Jesus is accursed.” No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” but by the Holy Spirit.

KJVWherefore^G1352 I give^G1107 you^G5213 to understand^G1107^(G5719), that^G3754 no man^G3762 speaking^G2980^(G5723) by^G1722 the Spirit^G4151 of God^G2316 calleth^G3004^(G5719) Jesus^G2424 accursed^G331: and^G2532 that no man^G3762 can^G1410^(G5736) say^G2036^(G5629) that Jesus^G2424 is the Lord^G2962, but^G1508 by^G1722 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151.

⁴ Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

KJVNow^G1161 there are^G1526^(G5748) diversities^G1243 of gifts^G5486, but^G1161 the same^G846 Spirit^G4151.

⁵ There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.

KJVAnd^G2532 there are^G1526^(G5748) differences^G1243 of administrations^G1248, but^G2532 the same^G846 Lord^G2962.

⁶ There are various kinds of workings, but the same God who works all things in all.

KJVAnd^G2532 there are^G1526^(G5748) diversities^G1243 of operations^G1755, but^G1161 it is^G2076^(G5748) the same^G846 God^G2316 which^G3588 worketh^G1754^(G5723) all^G3956 in^G1722 all^G3956.

⁷ But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.

KJVBut^G1161 the manifestation^G5321 of the Spirit^G4151 is given^G1325^(G5743) to every man^G1538 to^G4314 profit withal^G4851^(G5723).

⁸ For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

KJVFor^G1063 to one^G3739^G3303 is given^G1325^(G5743) by^G1223 the Spirit^G4151 the word^G3056 of wisdom^G4678;^G1161 to another^G243 the word^G3056 of knowledge^G1108 by^G2596 the same^G846 Spirit^G4151;

⁹ to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,

KJV^G1161 To another^G2087 faith^G4102 by^G1722 the same^G846 Spirit^G4151;^G1161 to another^G243 the gifts^G5486 of healing^G2386 by^G1722 the same^G846 Spirit^G4151;

¹⁰ and to another workings of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of languages, and to another the interpretation of languages.

KJV^G1161 To another^G243 the working^G1755 of miracles^G1411;^G1161 to another^G243 prophecy^G4394;^G1161 to another^G243 discerning^G1253 of spirits^G4151;^G1161 to another^G2087 divers kinds^G1085 of tongues^G1100;^G1161 to another^G243 the interpretation^G2058 of tongues^G1100:

¹¹ But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.

KJVBut^G1161 all^G3956 these^G5023 worketh^G1754^(G5719) that one^G1520 and^G2532 the selfsame^G846 Spirit^G4151, dividing^G1244^(G5723) to every man^G1538 severally^G2398 as^G2531 he will^G1014^(G5736).

¹² For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

KJVFor^G1063 as^G2509 the body^G4983 is^G2076^(G5748) one^G1520, and^G2532 hath^G2192^(G5719) many^G4183 members^G3196, and^G1161 all^G3956 the members^G3196 of that one^G1520 body^G4983, being^G5607^(G5752) many^G4183, are^G2076^(G5748) one^G1520 body^G4983: so^G3779 also^G2532 is Christ^G5547.

¹³ For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.

KJVFor^G1063^G2532 by^G1722 one^G1520 Spirit^G4151 are^G907 we^G2249 all^G3956 baptized^G907^(G5681) into^G1519 one^G1520 body^G4983, whether^G1535 we be Jews^G2453 or^G1535 Gentiles^G1672, whether^G1535 we be bond^G1401 or^G1535 free^G1658; and^G2532 have been^G4222 all^G3956 made to drink^G4222^(G5681) into^G1519 one^G1520 Spirit^G4151.

¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many.

KJV^G2532 For^G1063 the body^G4983 is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 one^G1520 member^G3196, but^G235 many^G4183.

¹⁵ If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body.

KJVIf^G1437 the foot^G4228 shall say^G2036^(G5632), Because^G3754 I am^G1510^(G5748) not^G3756 the hand^G5495, I am^G1510^(G5748) not^G3756 of^G1537 the body^G4983; is^G2076^(G5748) it therefore^G3756^G3844^G5124 not^G3756 of^G1537 the body^G4983?

¹⁶ If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body.

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1437 the ear^G3775 shall say^G2036^(G5632), Because^G3754 I am^G1510^(G5748) not^G3756 the eye^G3788, I am^G1510^(G5748) not^G3756 of^G1537 the body^G4983; is^G2076^(G5748) it therefore^G3756^G3844^G5124 not^G3756 of^G1537 the body^G4983?

¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?

KJVIf^G1487 the whole^G3650 body^G4983 were an eye^G3788, where^G4226 were the hearing^G189? If^G1487 the whole^G3650 were hearing^G189, where^G4226 were the smelling^G3750?

¹⁸ But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.

KJVBut^G1161 now^G3570 hath^G5087 God^G2316 set^G5087^(G5639) the members^G3196 every^G1538 one^G1520 of them^G846 in^G1722 the body^G4983, as^G2531 it hath pleased him^G2309^(G5656).

¹⁹ If they were all one member, where would the body be?

KJVAnd^G1161 if^G1487 they were^G2258^(G5713) all^G3956 one^G1520 member^G3196, where^G4226 were the body^G4983?

²⁰ But now they are many members, but one body.

KJVBut^G1161 now^G3568^G3303 are they many^G4183 members^G3196, yet but^G1161 one^G1520 body^G4983.

²¹ The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.”

KJVAnd^G1161 the eye^G3788 cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) say^G2036^(G5629) unto the hand^G5495, I have^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 need^G5532 of thee^G4675: nor^G2228 again^G3825 the head^G2776 to the feet^G4228, I have^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 need^G5532 of you^G5216.

²² No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

KJVNay^G235, much^G4183 more^G3123 those members^G3196 of the body^G4983, which seem^G1380^(G5723) to be^G5225^(G5721) more feeble^G772, are^G2076^(G5748) necessary^G316:

²³ Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant modesty,

KJVAnd^G2532 those^G3739 members of the body^G4983, which we think^G1380^(G5719) to be^G1511^(G5750) less honourable^G820, upon these^G5125 we bestow^G4060^(G5719) more abundant^G4055 honour^G5092; and^G2532 our^G2257 uncomely^G809 parts have^G2192^(G5719) more abundant^G4055 comeliness^G2157.

²⁴ while our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,

KJVFor^G1161 our^G2257 comely^G2158 parts have^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 need^G5532: but^G235 God^G2316 hath tempered^G4786 the body^G4983 together^G4786^(G5656), having given^G1325^(G5631) more abundant^G4055 honour^G5092 to that part which lacked^G5302^(G5746):

²⁵ that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

KJVThat^G3363 there should be^G5600^(G5753) no^G3363 schism^G4978 in^G1722 the body^G4983; but^G235 that the members^G3196 should have^G3309 the same^G846 care^G3309^(G5725) one for^G5228 another^G240.

²⁶ When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. When one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

KJVAnd^G2532 whether^G1535 one^G1520 member^G3196 suffer^G3958^(G5719), all^G3956 the members^G3196 suffer with it^G4841^(G5719); or^G1535 one^G1520 member^G3196 be honoured^G1392^(G5743), all^G3956 the members^G3196 rejoice with it^G4796^(G5719).

²⁷ Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

KJVNow^G1161 ye^G5210 are^G2075^(G5748) the body^G4983 of Christ^G5547, and^G2532 members^G3196 in^G1537 particular^G3313.

²⁸ God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.

KJVAnd^G2532^G3739 God^G2316 hath set^G5087^(G5639) some^G3303 in^G1722 the church^G1577, first^G4412 apostles^G652, secondarily^G1208 prophets^G4396, thirdly^G5154 teachers^G1320, after that^G1899 miracles^G1411, then^G1534 gifts^G5486 of healings^G2386, helps^G484, governments^G2941, diversities^G1085 of tongues^G1100.

²⁹ Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?

KJVAre all^G3361^G3956 apostles^G652? are all^G3361^G3956 prophets^G4396? are all^G3361^G3956 teachers^G1320? are all^G3361^G3956 workers of miracles^G1411?

³⁰ Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?

KJVHave^G3361^G2192^(G5719) all^G3956 the gifts^G5486 of healing^G2386? do all^G3956 speak^G3361^G2980^(G5719) with tongues^G1100? do^G3361 all^G3956 interpret^G1329^(G5719)?

³¹ But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.

KJVBut^G1161 covet earnestly^G2206^(G5720) the best^G2909 gifts^G5486: and^G2532 yet^G2089 shew I^G1166^(G5719) unto you^G5213 a more^G2596 excellent^G5236 way^G3598.

WEB·1 Corinthians 11

¹Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.

KJVBe^G1096^(G5737) ye followers^G3402 of me^G3450, even as^G2531 I also^G2504 am of Christ^G5547.

² Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.

KJVNow^G1161 I praise^G1867^(G5719) you^G5209, brethren^G80, that^G3754 ye remember^G3415^(G5769) me^G3450 in all things^G3956, and^G2532 keep^G2722^(G5719) the ordinances^G3862, as^G2531 I delivered^G3860^(G5656) them to you^G5213.

³ But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

KJVBut^G1161 I would have^G2309^(G5719) you^G5209 know^G1492^(G5760), that^G3754 the head^G2776 of every^G3956 man^G435 is^G2076^(G5748) Christ^G5547; and^G1161 the head^G2776 of the woman^G1135 is the man^G435; and^G1161 the head^G2776 of Christ^G5547 is God^G2316.

⁴ Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

KJVEvery^G3956 man^G435 praying^G4336^(G5740) or^G2228 prophesying^G4395^(G5723), having^G2192^(G5723) his head^G2776 covered^G2596, dishonoureth^G2617^(G5719) his^G846 head^G2776.

⁵ But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.

KJVBut^G1161 every^G3956 woman^G1135 that prayeth^G4336^(G5740) or^G2228 prophesieth^G4395^(G5723) with her head^G2776 uncovered^G177 dishonoureth^G2617^(G5719) her^G1438 head^G2776: for^G1063 that is^G2076^(G5748) even^G2532 all one^G1520 as if^G846 she were shaven^G3587^(G5772).

⁶ For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or be shaved, let her be covered.

KJVFor^G1063 if^G1487 the woman^G1135 be^G2619 not^G3756 covered^G2619^(G5743), let her^G2751 also^G2532 be shorn^G2751^(G5669): but^G1161 if^G1487 it be a shame^G149 for a woman^G1135 to be shorn^G2751^(G5670) or^G2228 shaven^G3587^(G5745), let her be covered^G2619^(G5744).

⁷ For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

KJVFor^G1063 a man^G435 indeed^G3303 ought^G3784^(G5719) not^G3756 to cover^G2619^(G5745) his head^G2776, forasmuch as he is^G5225^(G5723) the image^G1504 and^G2532 glory^G1391 of God^G2316: but^G1161 the woman^G1135 is^G2076^(G5748) the glory^G1391 of the man^G435.

⁸ For man is not from woman, but woman from man;

KJVFor^G1063 the man^G435 is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 of^G1537 the woman^G1135; but^G235 the woman^G1135 of^G1537 the man^G435.

⁹ for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man.

KJV^G1063^G2532 Neither^G3756 was^G2936 the man^G435 created^G2936^(G5681) for^G1223 the woman^G1135; but^G235 the woman^G1135 for^G1223 the man^G435.

¹⁰ For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.

KJVFor this^G5124 cause^G1223 ought^G3784^(G5719) the woman^G1135 to have^G2192^(G5721) power^G1849 on^G1909 her head^G2776 because^G1223 of the angels^G32.

¹¹ Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.

KJVNevertheless^G4133 neither^G3777 is the man^G435 without^G5565 the woman^G1135, neither^G3777 the woman^G1135 without^G5565 the man^G435, in^G1722 the Lord^G2962.

¹² For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.

KJVFor^G1063 as^G5618 the woman^G1135 is of^G1537 the man^G435, even so^G3779 is the man^G435 also^G2532 by^G1223 the woman^G1135; but^G1161 all things^G3956 of^G1537 God^G2316.

¹³ Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?

KJVJudge^G2919^(G5657) in^G1722 yourselves^G5213^G846: is it^G2076^(G5748) comely^G4241^(G5723) that a woman^G1135 pray^G4336^(G5738) unto God^G2316 uncovered^G177?

¹⁴ Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

KJVDoth^G2228 not even^G3761 nature^G5449 itself^G846 teach^G1321^(G5719) you^G5209, that^G3754, if^G1437^G3303 a man^G435 have long hair^G2863^(G5725), it is^G2076^(G5748) a shame^G819 unto him^G846?

¹⁵ But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.

KJVBut^G1161 if^G1437 a woman^G1135 have long hair^G2863^(G5725), it is^G2076^(G5748) a glory^G1391 to her^G846: for^G3754 her hair^G2864 is given^G1325^(G5769) her^G846 for^G473 a covering^G4018.

¹⁶ But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do God’s assemblies.

KJVBut^G1161 if any man^G1536 seem^G1380^(G5719) to be^G1511^(G5750) contentious^G5380, we^G2249 have^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 such^G5108 custom^G4914, neither^G3761 the churches^G1577 of God^G2316.

¹⁷ But in giving you this command I don’t praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

KJVNow^G1161 in this^G5124 that I declare^G3853^(G5723) unto you I praise^G1867^(G5719) you not^G3756, that^G3754 ye come together^G4905^(G5736) not^G3756 for^G1519 the better^G2909, but^G235 for^G1519 the worse^G2276.

¹⁸ For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.

KJVFor^G1063^G3303 first of all^G4412, when ye^G5216 come together^G4905^(G5740) in^G1722 the church^G1577, I hear^G191^(G5719) that there be^G5225^(G5721) divisions^G4978 among^G1722 you^G5213; and^G2532 I partly^G3313 believe^G4100^(G5719) it^G5100.

¹⁹ For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.

KJVFor^G1063 there must^G1163^(G5748) be^G1511^(G5750) also^G2532 heresies^G139 among^G1722 you^G5213, that^G2443 they which are approved^G1384 may be made^G1096^(G5638) manifest^G5318 among^G1722 you^G5213.

²⁰ When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat.

KJVWhen ye^G5216 come together^G4905^(G5740) therefore^G3767 into^G1909 one place^G846, this is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 to eat^G5315^(G5629) the Lord's^G2960 supper^G1173.

²¹ For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.

KJVFor^G1063 in^G1722 eating^G5315^(G5629) every one^G1538 taketh before^G4301^(G5719) other his own^G2398 supper^G1173: and^G2532 one^G3739^G3303 is hungry^G3983^(G5719), and^G1161 another^G3739 is drunken^G3184^(G5719).

²² What, don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God’s assembly and put them to shame who don’t have enough? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don’t praise you.

KJVWhat^G1063? have ye^G2192^(G5719) not^G3378 houses^G3614 to eat^G2068^(G5721) and^G2532 to drink^G4095^(G5721) in^G1519? or^G2228 despise ye^G2706^(G5719) the church^G1577 of God^G2316, and^G2532 shame^G2617^(G5719) them that have^G2192^(G5723) not^G3361? What^G5101 shall I say^G2036^(G5632) to you^G5213? shall I praise^G1867^(G5661) you^G5209 in^G1722 this^G5129? I praise^G1867^(G5719) you not^G3756.

²³ For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.

KJVFor^G1063 I^G1473 have received^G3880^(G5627) of^G575 the Lord^G2962 that which^G3739 also^G2532 I delivered^G3860^(G5656) unto you^G5213, That^G3754 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 the same night^G3571 in^G1722 which^G3739 he was betrayed^G3860^(G5712) took^G2983^(G5627) bread^G740:

²⁴ When he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me.”

KJVAnd^G2532 when he had given thanks^G2168^(G5660), he brake^G2806^(G5656) it, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), Take^G2983^(G5628), eat^G5315^(G5628): this^G5124 is^G2076^(G5748) my^G3450 body^G4983, which^G3588 is broken^G2806^(G5746) for^G5228 you^G5216: this^G5124 do^G4160^(G5720) in^G1519 remembrance^G364 of me^G1699.

²⁵ In the same way he also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me.”

KJVAfter the same manner^G5615 also^G2532 he took the cup^G4221, when^G3326 he had supped^G1172^(G5658), saying^G3004^(G5723), This^G5124 cup^G4221 is^G2076^(G5748) the new^G2537 testament^G1242 in^G1722 my^G1699 blood^G129: this^G5124 do ye^G4160^(G5720), as oft as^G3740^G302 ye drink^G4095^(G5725) it, in^G1519 remembrance^G364 of me^G1699.

²⁶ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

KJVFor^G1063 as often as^G302^G3740 ye eat^G2068^(G5725) this^G5126 bread^G740, and^G2532 drink^G4095^(G5725) this^G5124 cup^G4221, ye do shew^G2605^(G5719) the Lord's^G2962 death^G2288 till^G891^G302 he^G3739 come^G2064^(G5632).

²⁷ Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in a way unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

KJVWherefore^G5620 whosoever^G3739^G302 shall eat^G2068^(G5725) this^G5126 bread^G740, and^G2228 drink^G4095^(G5725) this cup^G4221 of the Lord^G2962, unworthily^G371, shall be^G2071^(G5704) guilty^G1777 of the body^G4983 and^G2532 blood^G129 of the Lord^G2962.

²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

KJVBut^G1161 let^G1381 a man^G444 examine^G1381^(G5720) himself^G1438, and^G2532 so^G3779 let him eat^G2068^(G5720) of^G1537 that bread^G740, and^G2532 drink^G4095^(G5720) of^G1537 that cup^G4221.

²⁹ For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body.

KJVFor^G1063 he that eateth^G2068^(G5723) and^G2532 drinketh^G4095^(G5723) unworthily^G371, eateth^G2068^(G5719) and^G2532 drinketh^G4095^(G5719) damnation^G2917 to himself^G1438, not^G3361 discerning^G1252^(G5723) the Lord's^G2962 body^G4983.

³⁰ For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

KJVFor^G1223 this^G5124 cause^G1223 many^G4183 are weak^G772 and^G2532 sickly^G732 among^G1722 you^G5213, and^G2532 many^G2425 sleep^G2837^(G5743).

³¹ For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged.

KJVFor^G1063 if^G1487 we would judge^G1252^(G5707) ourselves^G1438, we should^G302 not^G3756 be judged^G2919^(G5712).

³² But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

KJVBut^G1161 when we are judged^G2919^(G5746), we are chastened^G3811^(G5743) of^G5259 the Lord^G2962, that^G3363 we should^G2632 not^G3363 be condemned^G2632^(G5686) with^G4862 the world^G2889.

³³ Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

KJVWherefore^G5620, my^G3450 brethren^G80, when ye come together^G4905^(G5740) to^G1519 eat^G5315^(G5629), tarry^G1551^(G5737) one for another^G240.

³⁴ But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

KJVAnd^G1161 if any man^G1536 hunger^G3983^(G5719), let him eat^G2068^(G5720) at^G1722 home^G3624; that^G3363 ye come^G4905 not^G3363 together^G4905^(G5741) unto^G1519 condemnation^G2917. And^G1161 the rest^G3062 will I set in order^G1299^(G5695) when^G5613^G302 I come^G2064^(G5632).
