Most Relevant Verses
Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; there are various forms of service, and the same Lord; and varieties of work, and the same God, who works in all.
But we have gifts differing according to the grace which was given to us. He that has the gift of prophecy, let him prophesy according to the proportion of his faith. If it is the gift of administration, let us give ourselves to our service. Let the teacher give himself to his teaching; and he who exhorts others to his exhortation. He who gives, let him do it in singleness of mind. He who rules, let him rule with diligence; and he who shows mercy must be cheerful.
I would that every one lived as I do; but each man has his own special gift from God, one this, another that. But to the unmarried, and the widows, I say that it is well for them to remain as I am. If, however, they are not exercising self-control, by all means let them marry; for marriage is better than the fever of passion.read more.
But to those already married my commandment is??nd not mine, but the Lord's??hat a wife is not to leave her husband; (or if she has already left him let her either remain as she is, or be reconciled to him), and also that a husband is not to put away his wife. To the rest it is I who am speaking, not the Lord. If any brother has a wife who is not a believer, if he is willing to live with her, let him not send her away. And a woman whose husband is not a believer, if he is willing to live with her, let her not separate from him. For the unbelieving husband is consecrated through union with his believing wife; and the unbelieving wife, through union with her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unholy, but now they are consecrated to God. But if the unbelieving partner be determined to leave, separation let it be. In such cases the believing husband or wife is not under bondage. But it is into peace that God has called us. For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? Only whatever be the lot in life to which God has assigned each one??nd whatever the condition in which he was living when God called him??n that let him continue. Such is the rule I give in all the churches.
For to one man by the Spirit has been given a word of wisdom, to another a word of insight by the same Spirit; to one man by the same Spirit is given faith, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit; to another the powers which work miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits; to another varieties of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.read more.
But the one and the same Spirit gives power to all, distributing his gifts to each as he wills.
It is he who made some men apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
God himself corroborating their testimony by signs and wonders and a variety of miraculous powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit imparted in accordance with his own will.
Whatever the gifts which each has received, use them for one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any one preaches, let him always preach as one who utters God's truth; if any one serves another, let it be with the strength which God supplies; so that in every way God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory and dominion for ever and ever, Amen.
