1 Na mo nga mea wairua, e oku teina, kahore ahau e pai kia kuware koutou.

2 E matau ana koutou, i a koutou e Tauiwi ana, he mea kahaki koutou ki nga whakapakoko reokore, me koutou i kahakina ra.

3 Koia ahau ka whakakite nei ki a koutou, e kore tetahi tangata, na te Wairua nei o te Atua ana korero, e ki, He mea kanga a Ihu: e kore ano e taea e tetahi te mea, Ko Ihu te Ariki, ki te kahore te Wairua Tapu.

4 Na, he maha nga wehewehenga o nga mea e homai ana, kotahi ano ia Wairua.

5 A he maha nga wehewehenga o nga minitatanga, kotahi ano ia Ariki.

6 He maha ano hoki nga tu ahua o nga mahi; kotahi ano ia Atua hei mahi i nga mea katoa i roto i te katoa.

7 Otira e homai ana ki tena, ki tena, te whakakitenga a te Wairua hei pai.

8 E homai ana hoki ki tetahi e te Wairua te kupu whakaaro; ki tetahi atu ko te kupu matau, he mea na taua Wairua ano;

9 Ki tetahi atu ko te whakapono, na taua Wairua ra ano; ki tetahi atu ko nga mana whakaora, na taua Wairua ano:

10 Ki tetahi atu ko nga mahi merekara; ki tetahi atu ko te mahi poropiti; ki tetahi atu ko te matauranga ki nga wairua; ki tetahi atu ko nga reo huhua; ki tetahi atu ko te whakamaoritanga i nga reo:

11 Na, ko enei mea katoa, he mea mahi na taua Wairua kotahi ra ano, ko ia hei tuwha i tana e pai ai ki tetahi, ki tetahi.

12 Pera hoki i te tinana e kotahi ana, he tini ano ona wahi, a ko nga wahi katoa o taua tinana kotahi, ahakoa tini, kotahi ano tinana; he pera hoki a te Karaiti.

13 Kotahi nei hoki te Wairua i iriiria ai tatou katoa ki roto ki te tinana kotahi, ahakoa nga Hurai, ahakoa nga Kariki, ahakoa herehere, ahakoa rangatira; kotahi tonu te Wairua i whakainumia mai ai tatou katoa.

14 Ehara hoki te tinana i te wahi kotahi, engari he tini.

15 Ki te mea te waewae, He teka no te tinana ahau, ehara hoki ahau i te ringa; ehara ma tena e kahore ai ia hei wahi mo te tinana.

16 Ki te mea te taringa, He teka no te tinana ahau, ehara hoki ahau i te kanohi; ehara ma tena e kahore ai ia hei wahi mo te tinana.

17 Mehemea hoki he kanohi te tinana katoa, kei hea te wahi hei whakarongo? Mehemea he whakarongo ta te katoa, kei hea te wahi hei hongi?

18 Ko tenei, kua oti i te Atua te whakanoho tenei wahi, tenei wahi, ki roto ki te tinana, ana hoki i pai ai.

19 Mehemea hoki kotahi ano wahi ratou katoa, kei hea te tinana?

20 Ko tenei, he tini nga wahi, kotahi ano te tinana.

21 E kore hoki te kanohi e ahei te mea ki te ringa, Kahore aku mahi mau: te mahunga ranei ki nga waewae, Kahore aku mahi ma korua.

22 Engari, ko nga wahi o te tinana e kiia ana he ngoikore, nui rawa te mahi ma era;

23 Ko nga wahi hoki o te tinana e kiia ana e tatou he iti te honore, nui atu te honore e whakataua iho ana e tatou ki era; nui atu hoki te ataahua ki o tatou wahi marutuna;

24 Ko o tatou wahi ataahua ia kahore he aha e meatia ai; heoi he mea huihui marire na te Atua nga wahi o te tinana, he mea whakarite marie, nui atu hoki te honore i hoatu e ia ki te wahi i hapa:

25 Kia kore ai he wehewehenga o te tinana; engari kia kotahi tonu te whakaaro o nga wahi mo tetahi, mo tetahi.

26 A ki te mamae tetahi wahi, mamae tahi ana nga wahi katoa; ki te whakahonoretia tetahi wahi, hari tahi ana nga wahi katoa.

27 Na, ko koutou te tinana o te Karaiti, he wahi ano nona tenei, tenei.

28 A kua whakanohoia e te Atua etahi i roto i te hahi, ko nga apotoro ki mua, tuarua ko nga poropiti, tuatoru ko nga kaiwhakaako, muri iho ko nga merekara, me i reira ko nga mana whakaora, ki nga hoa mahi, ko nga kaiwhakahaere tikanga, ko nga reo h uhua.

29 He apotoro oti katoa? he poropiti oti katoa? he kaiwhakaako katoa? he kaimahi katoa i te merekara?

30 Kei te katoa oti nga mana whakaora? e korero katoa ana oti i nga reo? he kaiwhakamaori anake ranei?

31 Na, whaia nga mea homai papai rawa: tenei ia te ara tino pai rawa, maku e whakaatu ki a koutou.

1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2 Ye know that when ye were Gentiles ye were led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led. 3 Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit.

4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all. 7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal. 8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit: 9 to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit; 10 and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another divers kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will.

12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. 13 For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now they are many members, but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary: 23 and those parts of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness; 24 whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked; 25 that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof. 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30 have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31 But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you.
