¶ The .xij. Chapter.
¶ The diuersite of the gyftes of the holy goost,
geuen to the c&obar;fort and edifyinge of one another,
as the members of a mans body serue one another.
A Concernynge spirituall thinges
(brethren) I wolde not haue
you ignoraunt. &cross2; Ye knowe þt;
ye were gentyls, ∧ went youre
wayes vnto domme ymages,
-- --
euen as ye were led. Wherfore I declare vnto
you, that note no man speakyng by the sprete
of God, defyeth Iesus. Also no man can
saye that Iesus is the Lorde, but by the holy
ghost. noteTher are diuersites of gyftes, yet
but one sprete. And ther are differ&ebar;ces of administracyons,
and yet but one Lorde. And
ther are dyuers maners of operacyons, and
yet but one God &rhand; whych worcketh all in
all. noteThe gyfte of the sprete is geuen to euery
man, to edifye withall, For to one is geuen
thorow the spirite the vttera&ubar;ce of wisdome.
To another is geuen the vttraunce of
knowledge by the same sprete. To another
is geuen fayth, by the same sprete. To another
the gyftes of healinge by the same sprete.
B To another power to do miracles. To another
prophesye. To another note iudgement
to discerne spretes. To another diuers tonges.
To another the interpretacyon of tonges:
But these all worketh euen the selfe same
sprete, diuidynge to euery man a seuerall
gyfte, euen as he wyll. &cross3;
noteFor as the body is one, and hath many
membres, and all the membres of one body
though they be many, yet are but one bodye,
euen so is Christ. For by one sprete are we
all baptysed to make one body, whether we
be Iewes or Gentyls, whether we be bonde
or fre, and haue note all droncke of one sprete.
For the body is not one member, but many.
If the fote saye: I am not the hande, I am
not of the body: is he therfore not of the body?
C And yf the eare saye, I am not the eye, I
am not of the body: is he therfore not of the
body? If all the body were an eye, where were
then the eare? If all were hearynge: where
were the smellynge? But nowe hath God set
the membres euery one seuerally in the body
as it hath pleased him. If they were all one
m&ebar;ber: where were þe; bodye? Nowe are there
many m&ebar;bres, yet but one body. And the
eye can not saye vnto the h&abar;de: I haue no nede
of the. Agayne, the heed can not saye to the
fete: I haue no nede of you. Yee rather a great
deale those membres of the body which seme
to be more feble, are necessary. And vpon
those membres of the body which we thinke
leest honest, put we more honestye on. And
oure vngoodlye partes haue more beautye
on. For oure honest membres nede it not:
But God hath so disposed the body,
D ∧ hath
geuen the more honoure to that parte whych
lacked, lest there shulde be eny stryfe in the
body: but that the membres shuld indiffer&ebar;tly
care one for another. And yf one member
suffer, all suffer with him. yf one member be
had in honour, all membres be glad also.
Ye are the body of Christ, and membres
one of another. And God hath also ordeyned
in the congregacyon, fyrst note Apostles, secondarely
prophetes, thrydly teachers, then
them that do myracles: after that, the gyftes
of healyng, helpers, gouerners, diuersitye
of tonges.
Are all Apostles? Are all Prophetes?
Are all teachers? Are all doars of miracles?
Haue all þe; gyftes of healinge? Do all speake
with tonges? Do all interprete? Couet after
the best gyftes. And yet shewe I vnto you a
more excellent waye.
