8 The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak with wisdom. And the same Spirit gives another the ability to speak with knowledge.
9 The same Spirit gives faith to one person. And that one Spirit gives another gifts of healing.
10 The Spirit gives to another person the power to do miracles, to another the ability to prophesy. And he gives to another the ability to know the difference between good and evil spirits. The Spirit gives one person the ability to speak in different kinds of languages and to another the ability to interpret those languages.
11 One Spirit, the same Spirit, does all these things. The Spirit decides what to give each person.
12 A person’s body is one thing, but it has many parts. Yes, there are many parts to a body, but all those parts make only one body. Christ is like that too.
13 Some of us are Jews, and some of us are Greeks. Some of us are slaves, and some of us are free. But we were all baptized into one body through one Spirit. And we were all made to share in the one Spirit.
14 And a person’s body has more than one part. It has many parts.
