Chap. XII. noteThey must not make their diuersitie of Giftes an occasion of Schisme, considering that al are of one Holy Ghost, and for the profit of the one body of Christ vvhich is the Church: 12 Vvhich also could not be a body, vvithout such varietie of members. 12 Therfore neither they that haue the inferiour giftes, must be discontent, seing it is Gods distribution: nor they that haue the greater, contemne the other, considering they are no lesse necessarie: 25 but al in al ioyne together, 28. and euery one knovv his ovvne place.

1    noteAnd concerning spiritual things, I vvil not haue you ignor&abar;t, brethren.

2   You know that vvhen you vvere heathen, you vvent to dumme Idols according as you vvere ledde.

3   Therfore I doe you to vnderstand that no m&abar; speaking in the Spirit of God, faith anĂ¡thema to Iesvs. And no man can say, Our Lord Iesvs: but in the holy Ghost.

-- --

4   And there are diuisions of graces, but one Spirit.

5   And there are diuisions of ministrations: but one Lord.

6   And there are diuisions of operations, but one God, vvhich vvorketh al in al.

7   And the manifestation of the Spirit is giuen vnto euery one to profit.

8   To one certes by the Spirit is giuen note the vvord of vvisedom: and to an other, the vvord of knovvledge according to the same Spirit:

9   to an other, 09Q1130faith in the same Spirit: to an other, the grace of doing cures in one Spirit:

10   to an other, the vvorking of miracles: to an other, prophecie: to an other, discerning of spirites: to an other, kindes of tonges: to an other, interpretation of languages.

11   And al these things vvorketh one and the same Spirit, diuiding to euery one according as he vvil. &cross4;

12   For note as the body is one, and hath many members, and al the members of the body vvhereas they be many, yet are note one body: so also Christ.

13   For in one Spirit vvere vve al baptized into note one, vvhether Ievves, or Gentiles, or bondmen, or free: and in one Spirit vve vvere al made to drinke.

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

15   09Q1131If the foote should say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body: is it therfore not of the body?

16   And if the eare should say, because I am not the eie, I am not of the body: is he therfore not of the body?

17   If the vvhole body vvere the eie: vvhere is the hearing? If the vvhole vvere the hearing: vvhere is the smelling?

18   But novv God hath set the members, euery one of them in the body as he vvould.

19   And if al vvere one member, vvhere vvere the body?

20   But novv there are many members in deede, yet one body. And the eie can not say to the hand: I neede not thy helpe. or againe the head to the feete, You are not necessarie for me.

21   But much more those that seeme to be the more vveake members of the body, are more necessarie:

22   and such as vve thinke to be the baser members of the body, vpon them vve put more aboundant honour: and those that are our vnhonest partes, haue more aboundant honestie.

23   And our honest partes neede nothing: but God hath tempered the body, giuing to it that vvanted, the more aboundant honour,

24   that there might be no09Q1132schisme in the body, but the members together might be careful one for an other.

25   And if one member suffer any thing, al the members suffer vvith it. or if one member do glorie, al the members reioyce vvith it.

-- --

26   And you are the body of Christ, and members of member.

27   And note some verily God hath set in the Church first Apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors, next miracles, th&ebar; the graces of doing cures, helpes, gouernements, kindes of tonges.

28   Are al Apostles? are al prophets? are al doctors?

29    noteare al miracles? haue al the grace of doing cures? do al speake vvith tonges? do al interpret?

30   But pursue the better giftes. And yet I shevv you a more excellent vvay.
