"There
are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are
different
kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds
of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. Not
to teach
one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom,
to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,
to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing
by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another
speaking
in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation
of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit,
and
he gives them to each one, just as he determines. The body is a
unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its
parts
are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. For we were
all baptized by one Spirit into one body--whether Jews or Greeks,
slave or free--and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
Now
the body is not made up of one part but of many. If the foot should
say, 'Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,'
it
would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. And if
the ear should say, 'Because I am not an eye, I do not belong
to the
body,' it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body.
If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing
be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell
be? But in fact God has arranged the parts in one body, every
one
of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part,
where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but
one
body. The eye cannot say to the hand, 'I don't need you!' 1Corinthians
