NOW concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

Περὶ δὲ τῶν πνευματικῶν, ἀδελφοί, οὐ θέλω ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν.

Ѡ҆ дꙋхо́вныхъ же, бра́тїе, не хощꙋ̀ ва́съ не вѣ́дѣти.

2

Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

οἴδατε ὅτι, ὅτε ἔθνη ἦτε, πρὸς τὰ εἴδωλα τὰ ἄφωνα ὡς ἂν ἤγεσθε ἀπαγόμενοι.

Вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆гда̀ невѣ́рни бѣ́сте, ко і҆́дѡлѡмъ безгла̑снымъ ꙗ҆́кѡ ведо́ми ведо́стесѧ.

3

Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

διὸ γνωρίζω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἐν Πνεύματι Θεοῦ λαλῶν λέγει ἀνάθεμα Ἰησοῦν, καὶ οὐδεὶς δύναται εἰπεῖν Κύριον Ἰησοῦν εἰ μὴ ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ.

Тѣ́мже сказꙋ́ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ никто́же, дх҃омъ бж҃їимъ глаго́лѧй, рече́тъ а҆на́ѳема і҆и҃са, и҆ никто́же мо́жетъ рещѝ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са, то́чїю дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ.

4

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

διαιρέσεις δὲ χαρισμάτων εἰσί, τὸ δὲ αὐτὸ Πνεῦμα·

Раздѣлє́нїѧ же дарова́нїй сꙋ́ть, а҆ то́йжде дх҃ъ:

5

And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

καὶ διαιρέσεις διακονιῶν εἰσι, καὶ ὁ αὐτὸς Κύριος·

и҆ раздѣлє́нїѧ слꙋже́нїй сꙋ́ть, а҆ то́йжде гдⷭ҇ь:

6

And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

καὶ διαιρέσεις ἐνεργημάτων εἰσίν, ὁ δὲ αὐτός ἐστι Θεός, ὁ ἐνεργῶν τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν.

и҆ раздѣлє́нїѧ дѣ́йствъ сꙋ́ть, а҆ то́йжде є҆́сть бг҃ъ, дѣ́йствꙋѧй всѧ̑ во всѣ́хъ.

7

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

ἑκάστῳ δὲ δίδοται ἡ φανέρωσις τοῦ Πνεύματος πρὸς τὸ συμφέρον.

[Заⷱ҇ 151] Комꙋ́ждо же дае́тсѧ ꙗ҆вле́нїе дх҃а на по́льзꙋ:

8

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

ᾧ μὲν γὰρ διὰ τοῦ Πνεύματος δίδοται λόγος σοφίας, ἄλλῳ δὲ λόγος γνώσεως κατὰ τὸ αὐτὸ Πνεῦμα,

ѻ҆́вомꙋ бо дх҃омъ дае́тсѧ сло́во премⷣрости, и҆но́мꙋ же сло́во ра́зꙋма, ѡ҆ то́мже дс҃ѣ:

9

To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

ἑτέρῳ δὲ πίστις ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ Πνεύματι, ἄλλῳ δὲ χαρίσματα ἰαμάτων ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ Πνεύματι,

дрꙋго́мꙋ же вѣ́ра, тѣ́мже дх҃омъ: и҆но́мꙋ же дарова̑нїѧ и҆сцѣле́нїй, ѡ҆ то́мже дс҃ѣ:

10

To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

ἄλλῳ δὲ ἐνεργήματα δυνάμεων, ἄλλῳ δὲ προφητεία, ἄλλῳ δὲ διακρίσεις πνευμάτων, ἑτέρῳ δὲ γένη γλωσσῶν, ἄλλῳ δὲ ἑρμηνεία γλωσσῶν·

дрꙋго́мꙋ же дѣ̑йствїѧ си́лъ, и҆но́мꙋ же прⷪ҇ро́чество, дрꙋго́мꙋ же разсꙋждє́нїѧ дꙋховѡ́мъ, и҆но́мꙋ же ро́ди ѧ҆зы́кѡвъ, дрꙋго́мꙋ же сказа̑нїѧ ѧ҆зы́кѡвъ.

11

But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

πάντα δὲ ταῦτα ἐνεργεῖ τὸ ἓν καὶ τὸ αὐτὸ Πνεῦμα, διαιροῦν ἰδίᾳ ἑκάστῳ καθὼς βούλεται.

Всѧ̑ же сїѧ̑ дѣ́йствꙋетъ є҆ди́нъ и҆ то́йжде дх҃ъ, раздѣлѧ́ѧ вла́стїю коемꙋ́ждо ꙗ҆́коже хо́щетъ.

12

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

Καθάπερ γὰρ τὸ σῶμα ἕν ἐστι καὶ μέλη ἔχει πολλά, πάντα δὲ τὰ μέλη τοῦ σώματος τοῦ ἑνός, πολλὰ ὄντα, ἕν ἐστι σῶμα, οὕτω καὶ ὁ Χριστός·

[Заⷱ҇ 152] Ꙗ҆́коже бо тѣ́ло є҆ди́но є҆́сть и҆ ᲂу҆́ды и҆́мать мнѡ́ги, вси́ же ᲂу҆́ди є҆ди́нагѡ тѣ́ла, мно́зи сꙋ́ще, є҆ди́но сꙋ́ть тѣ́ло: та́кѡ и҆ хрⷭ҇то́съ.

13

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

καὶ γὰρ ἐν ἑνὶ Πνεύματι ἡμεῖς πάντες εἰς ἓν σῶμα ἐβαπτίσθημεν, εἴτε Ἰουδαῖοι εἴτε ῞Ελληνες, εἴτε δοῦλοι εἴτε ἐλεύθεροι, καὶ πάντες εἰς ἓν Πνεῦμα ἐποτίσθημεν.

И҆́бо є҆ди́нѣмъ дх҃омъ мы̀ всѝ во є҆ди́но тѣ́ло крести́хомсѧ, а҆́ще і҆ꙋде́є, а҆́ще є҆́ллини, и҆лѝ рабѝ, и҆лѝ свобо́дни: и҆ всѝ є҆ди́нѣмъ дх҃омъ напои́хомсѧ.

14

For the body is not one member, but many.

καὶ γὰρ τὸ σῶμα οὐκ ἔστιν ἓν μέλος, ἀλλὰ πολλά.

И҆́бо тѣ́ло нѣ́сть є҆ди́нъ ᲂу҆́дъ, но мно́зи.

15

If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὁ πούς, ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ χείρ, οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ σώματος, οὐ παρὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ σώματος;

А҆́ще рече́тъ нога̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́смь рꙋка̀, нѣ́смь ѿ тѣ́ла: є҆да̀ сегѡ̀ ра́ди нѣ́сть ѿ тѣ́ла;

16

And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

καὶ ἐὰν εἴπῃ τὸ οὖς, ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ ὀφθαλμός, οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ σώματος, οὐ παρὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ σώματος;

И҆ а҆́ще рече́тъ ᲂу҆́хо, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́смь ѻ҆́ко, нѣ́смь ѿ тѣ́ла: є҆да̀ сегѡ̀ ра́ди нѣ́сть ѿ тѣ́ла;

17

If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

εἰ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα ὀφθαλμός, ποῦ ἡ ἀκοή; εἰ ὅλον ἀκοή, ποῦ ἡ ὄσφρησις;

А҆́ще всѐ тѣ́ло ѻ҆́ко, гдѣ̀ слꙋ́хъ; а҆́ще (же) всѐ слꙋ́хъ, гдѣ̀ ᲂу҆ха́нїе;

18

But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

νυνὶ δὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἔθετο τὰ μέλη ἓν ἕκαστον αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ σώματι καθὼς ἠθέλησεν.

Нн҃ѣ же положѝ бг҃ъ ᲂу҆́ды, є҆ди́наго коего́ждо и҆́хъ въ тѣлесѝ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆зво́ли.

19

And if they were all one member, where were the body?

εἰ δὲ ἦν τὰ πάντα ἓν μέλος, ποῦ τὸ σῶμα;

А҆́ще ли бы́ша всѝ є҆ди́нъ ᲂу҆́дъ, гдѣ̀ тѣ́ло;

20

But now are they many members, yet but one body.

νῦν δὲ πολλὰ μὲν μέλη, ἓν δὲ σῶμα.

Нн҃ѣ же мно́зи ᲂу҆́бѡ ᲂу҆́дове, є҆ди́но же тѣ́ло.

21

And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

οὐ δύναται δὲ ὀφθαλμὸς εἰπεῖν τῇ χειρί· χρείαν σου οὐκ ἔχω· ἢ πάλιν ἡ κεφαλὴ τοῖς ποσί· χρείαν ὑμῶν οὐκ ἔχω·

Не мо́жетъ же ѻ҆́ко рещѝ рꙋцѣ̀: не тре́бѣ мѝ є҆сѝ: и҆лѝ па́ки глава̀ нога́ма: не тре́бѣ мѝ є҆стѐ.

22

Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

ἀλλὰ πολλῷ μᾶλλον τὰ δοκοῦντα μέλη τοῦ σώματος ἀσθενέστερα ὑπάρχειν ἀναγκαῖά ἐστι,

Но мно́гѡ па́че, мнѧ́щїисѧ ᲂу҆́ди тѣ́ла немощнѣ́йши бы́ти, нꙋ́жнѣйши сꙋ́ть,

23

And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

καὶ ἃ δοκοῦμεν ἀτιμότερα εἶναι τοῦ σώματος, τούτοις τιμὴν περισσοτέραν περιτίθεμεν, καὶ τὰ ἀσχήμονα ἡμῶν εὐσχημοσύνην περισσοτέραν ἔχει.

и҆ и҆̀хже мни́мъ безче́стнѣйшихъ бы́ти тѣ́ла, си̑мъ че́сть мно́жайшꙋю прилага́емъ:

24

For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.

τὰ δὲ εὐσχήμονα ἡμῶν οὐ χρείαν ἔχει. ἀλλ᾿ ὁ Θεὸς συνεκέρασε τὸ σῶμα, τῷ ὑστεροῦντι περισσοτέραν δοὺς τιμήν,

и҆ неблагоѡбра́знїи на́ши благоѡбра́зїе мно́жайше и҆́мꙋтъ, а҆ благоѡбра́знїи на́ши не тре́бѣ и҆́мꙋтъ. Но бг҃ъ растворѝ тѣ́ло, хꙋдѣ́йшемꙋ бо́льшꙋ да́въ че́сть,

25

That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

ἵνα μὴ ᾖ σχίσμα ἐν τῷ σώματι, ἀλλὰ τὸ αὐτὸ ὑπὲρ ἀλλήλων μεριμνῶσι τὰ μέλη·

да не бꙋ́детъ ра́спри въ тѣлесѝ, но да то́жде въ себѣ̀ {да ра́внѡ є҆ди́нъ ѡ҆ дрꙋзѣ́мъ} пекꙋ́тсѧ ᲂу҆́ди.

26

And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

καὶ εἴτε πάσχει ἓν μέλος, συμπάσχει πάντα τὰ μέλη, εἴτε δοξάζεται ἓν μέλος, συγχαίρει πάντα τὰ μέλη.

И҆ а҆́ще стра́ждетъ є҆ди́нъ ᲂу҆́дъ, съ ни́мъ стра́ждꙋтъ всѝ ᲂу҆́ди: а҆́ще ли же сла́витсѧ є҆ди́нъ ᲂу҆́дъ, съ ни́мъ ра́дꙋютсѧ всѝ ᲂу҆́ди.

27

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

ὑμεῖς δέ ἐστε σῶμα Χριστοῦ καὶ μέλη ἐκ μέρους.

[Заⷱ҇ 153] Вы́ же є҆стѐ тѣ́ло хрⷭ҇то́во, и҆ ᲂу҆́ди ѿ ча́сти.

28

And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

Καὶ οὓς μὲν ἔθετο ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ πρῶτον ἀποστόλους, δεύτερον προφήτας, τρίτον διδασκάλους, ἔπειτα δυνάμεις, εἶτα χαρίσματα ἰαμάτων, ἀντιλήψεις, κυβερνήσεις, γένη γλωσσῶν.

И҆ ѻ҆́выхъ ᲂу҆́бѡ положѝ бг҃ъ въ цр҃кви пе́рвѣе а҆пⷭ҇лѡвъ, второ́е прⷪ҇ро́кѡвъ, тре́тїе ᲂу҆чи́телей: пото́мъ же си̑лы, та́же дарова̑нїѧ и҆сцѣле́нїй, застꙋплє́нїѧ, правлє́нїѧ, ро́ди ѧ҆зы́кѡвъ.

29

Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?

μὴ πάντες ἀπόστολοι; μὴ πάντες προφῆται; μὴ πάντες διδάσκαλοι; μὴ πάντες δυνάμεις;

Є҆да̀ всѝ а҆пⷭ҇ли; є҆да̀ всѝ прⷪ҇ро́цы; є҆да̀ всѝ ᲂу҆чи́телє; є҆да̀ всѝ си̑лы;

30

Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

μὴ πάντες χαρίσματα ἔχουσιν ἰαμάτων; μὴ πάντες γλώσσαις λαλοῦσι; μὴ πάντες διερμηνεύουσι;

є҆да̀ всѝ дарова̑нїѧ и҆́мꙋтъ и҆сцѣле́нїй; є҆да̀ всѝ ѧ҆зы̑ки глаго́лютъ; є҆да̀ всѝ сказꙋ́ютъ;

31

But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

ζηλοῦτε δὲ τὰ χαρίσματα τὰ κρείττονα. καὶ ἔτι καθ᾿ ὑπερβολὴν ὁδὸν ὑμῖν δείκνυμι.

Ревнꙋ́йте же дарова́нїй бо́льшихъ, и҆ є҆щѐ по превосхожде́нїю пꙋ́ть ва́мъ показꙋ́ю.
