1 Corinthians 12:10

Read in context

1 Corinthians 12:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit,

9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,

10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.

11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, who apportions them to each one as He determines.

12 The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.
