1 Corintios 12
La Biblia de las Américas
Los dones espirituales
12 En cuanto a los dones espirituales(A), no quiero, hermanos, que seáis ignorantes(B). 2 Sabéis que cuando erais paganos[a](C), de una manera u otra erais arrastrados hacia los ídolos mudos(D). 3 Por tanto, os hago saber que nadie hablando por[b] el Espíritu de Dios, dice: Jesús es anatema[c](E); y nadie puede decir: Jesús es el Señor(F), excepto por[d] el Espíritu Santo(G).
Diversidad y unidad de los dones
4 Ahora bien, hay diversidad de dones, pero el Espíritu es el mismo(H). 5 Y hay diversidad de ministerios, pero el Señor es el mismo. 6 Y hay diversidad de operaciones, pero es el mismo Dios el que hace todas las cosas en todos(I). 7 Pero a cada uno se le da la manifestación del Espíritu para el bien común(J). 8 Pues a uno le es dada palabra de sabiduría(K) por el Espíritu; a otro, palabra de conocimiento(L) según el mismo Espíritu; 9 a otro, fe(M) por[e] el mismo Espíritu; a otro, dones de sanidad[f](N) por[g] el único Espíritu; 10 a otro, poder de milagros[h](O); a otro, profecía(P); a otro, discernimiento[i] de espíritus(Q); a otro, diversas clases de lenguas(R), y a otro, interpretación de lenguas(S). 11 Pero todas estas cosas las hace uno y el mismo Espíritu, distribuyendo individualmente a cada uno según la voluntad de Él(T).
La iglesia, cuerpo de Cristo
12 Porque así como el cuerpo es uno, y tiene muchos miembros, pero todos los miembros del cuerpo, aunque son muchos, constituyen un solo cuerpo(U), así también es Cristo(V). 13 Pues por[j] un mismo Espíritu(W) todos fuimos bautizados en un solo cuerpo, ya judíos o griegos, ya esclavos o libres(X), y a todos se nos dio a beber[k] del mismo Espíritu(Y). 14 Porque el cuerpo no es un solo miembro, sino muchos(Z). 15 Si el pie dijera: Porque no soy mano, no soy parte del cuerpo, no por eso deja de ser parte del cuerpo. 16 Y si el oído dijera: Porque no soy ojo, no soy parte del cuerpo, no por eso deja de ser parte del cuerpo. 17 Si todo el cuerpo fuera ojo, ¿qué sería del[l] oído? Si todo fuera oído, ¿qué sería del[m] olfato? 18 Ahora bien, Dios ha colocado(AA) a cada uno de los miembros[n] en el cuerpo según le agradó(AB). 19 Y si todos fueran un solo miembro, ¿qué sería del[o] cuerpo? 20 Sin embargo, hay muchos miembros, pero un solo cuerpo(AC). 21 Y el ojo no puede decir a la mano: No te necesito; ni tampoco la cabeza a los pies: No os necesito. 22 Por el contrario, la verdad es que los miembros[p] del cuerpo que parecen ser los más débiles, son los más necesarios; 23 y las partes del cuerpo que estimamos[q] menos honrosas, a estas las vestimos con[r] más honra; de manera que las partes que consideramos más íntimas[s], reciben un trato más honroso, 24 ya que nuestras partes presentables no lo necesitan. Mas así formó[t] Dios el cuerpo, dando mayor honra a la parte que carecía de ella, 25 a fin de que en el cuerpo no haya división[u], sino que los miembros tengan el mismo cuidado unos por otros. 26 Y si un miembro sufre, todos los miembros sufren con él; y si un miembro es honrado[v], todos los miembros se regocijan con él. 27 Ahora bien, vosotros sois el cuerpo de Cristo(AD), y cada uno individualmente un miembro de él(AE). 28 Y en la iglesia(AF), Dios ha designado[w](AG): primeramente, apóstoles(AH); en segundo lugar, profetas(AI); en tercer lugar, maestros(AJ); luego, milagros[x](AK); después, dones de sanidad[y](AL), ayudas, administraciones(AM), diversas clases de lenguas(AN). 29 ¿Acaso son todos apóstoles? ¿Acaso son todos profetas? ¿Acaso son todos maestros? ¿Acaso son todos obradores de milagros[z]? 30 ¿Acaso tienen todos dones de sanidad[aa]? ¿Acaso hablan todos en lenguas? ¿Acaso interpretan todos(AO)? 31 Mas desead ardientemente los mejores dones(AP).
Y aun yo os muestro un camino más excelente.

New King James Version
Spiritual Gifts: Unity in Diversity
12 Now (A)concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: 2 You know (B)that[a] you were Gentiles, carried away to these (C)dumb[b] idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus [c]accursed, and (D)no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
4 (E)There are [d]diversities of gifts, but (F)the same Spirit. 5 (G)There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God (H)who works [e]all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given (I)the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another (J)the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 (K)to another faith by the same Spirit, to another (L)gifts of healings by [f]the same Spirit, 10 (M)to another the working of miracles, to another (N)prophecy, to another (O)discerning of spirits, to another (P)different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, (Q)distributing to each one individually (R)as He wills.
Unity and Diversity in One Body(S)
12 For (T)as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, (U)so also is Christ. 13 For (V)by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—(W)whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and (X)have all been made to drink [g]into one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not one member but many.
15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? 18 But now (Y)God has set the members, each one of them, in the body (Z)just as He pleased. 19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be?
20 But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. 23 And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, 24 but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, 25 that there should be no [h]schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now (AA)you are the body of Christ, and (AB)members individually. 28 And (AC)God has appointed these in the church: first (AD)apostles, second (AE)prophets, third teachers, after that (AF)miracles, then (AG)gifts of healings, (AH)helps, (AI)administrations, varieties of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But (AJ)earnestly desire the [i]best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

King James Version
12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
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.
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
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:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
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.
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.
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; is it therefore not of the body?
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?
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 every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
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.
22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
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.
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.
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 suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
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.
29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
