7 The Spirit has given each of us a special way of serving others.
8 Some of us can speak with wisdom, while others can speak with knowledge, but these gifts come from the same Spirit.
9 To others the Spirit has given great faith or the power to heal the sick
10 or the power to perform mighty miracles. Some of us are prophets, and some of us recognize when God's Spirit is present. Others can speak different kinds of languages, and still others can tell what these languages mean.
11 But it is the Spirit who does all this and decides which gifts to give to each of us.
12 The body of Christ has many different parts, just as any other body does.
13 Some of us are Jews, and others are Gentiles. Some of us are slaves, and others are free. But God's Spirit baptized each of us and made us part of the body of Christ. Now we each drink from that same Spirit.
