1 Corinthians 8:1

Now about food sacrificed to idols:<cr>1</cr>  We know that “We all possess knowledge.”<cr>2</cr>  But knowledge puffs up while love builds up.

Those who think they know something<cr>1</cr>  do not yet know as they ought to know.<cr>2</cr> 

1 Corinthians 8:2

But whoever loves God is known by God.<ft>1</ft><cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 8:3

So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols:<cr>1</cr>  We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world”<cr>2</cr>  and that “There is no God but one.”<cr>3</cr> 

1 Corinthians 8:4

For even if there are so-called gods,<cr>1</cr>  whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”),

1 Corinthians 8:5

yet for us there is but one God,<cr>1</cr>  the Father,<cr>2</cr>  from whom all things came<cr>3</cr>  and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord,<cr>4</cr>  Jesus Christ, through whom all things came<cr>5</cr>  and through whom we live.

1 Corinthians 8:6

But not everyone possesses this knowledge.<cr>1</cr>  Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak,<cr>2</cr>  it is defiled.

1 Corinthians 8:7

But food does not bring us near to God;<cr>1</cr>  we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

1 Corinthians 8:8

Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block<cr>1</cr>  to the weak.<cr>2</cr> 

1 Corinthians 8:9

For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 8:10

So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed<cr>1</cr>  by your knowledge.

1 Corinthians 8:11

When you sin against them<cr>1</cr>  in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.<cr>2</cr> 

1 Corinthians 8:12

Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 8:13

1 Corinthians 9:1

Am I not free?<cr>1</cr>  Am I not an apostle?<cr>2</cr>  Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?<cr>3</cr>  Are you not the result of my work in the Lord?<cr>4</cr> 

Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal<cr>1</cr>  of my apostleship in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 9:2

This is my defense to those who sit in judgment on me.

1 Corinthians 9:3

Don’t we have the right to food and drink?<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 9:4

Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife<cr>1</cr>  along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers<cr>2</cr>  and Cephas<ft>1</ft>?<cr>3</cr> 

1 Corinthians 9:5

Or is it only I and Barnabas<cr>1</cr>  who lack the right to not work for a living?

1 Corinthians 9:6

Who serves as a soldier<cr>1</cr>  at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard<cr>2</cr>  and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk?

1 Corinthians 9:7

Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing?

1 Corinthians 9:8

For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.”<ft>1</ft><cr>1</cr>  Is it about oxen that God is concerned?<cr>2</cr> 

1 Corinthians 9:9

Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us,<cr>1</cr>  because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.<cr>2</cr> 

1 Corinthians 9:10

If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 9:11

If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more?<pb/>But we did not use this right.<cr>1</cr>  On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder<cr>2</cr>  the gospel of Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:12

Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar?<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 9:13

In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 9:14

But I have not used any of these rights.<cr>1</cr>  And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me, for I would rather die than allow anyone to deprive me of this boast.<cr>2</cr> 

1 Corinthians 9:15

For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach.<cr>1</cr>  Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!

1 Corinthians 9:16

If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward;<cr>1</cr>  if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me.<cr>2</cr> 

1 Corinthians 9:17

What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge,<cr>1</cr>  and so not make full use of my rights<cr>2</cr>  as a preacher of the gospel.

1 Corinthians 9:18

1 Corinthians 9:19

Though I am free<cr>1</cr>  and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone,<cr>2</cr>  to win as many as possible.<cr>3</cr> 

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews.<cr>1</cr>  To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law),<cr>2</cr>  so as to win those under the law.

1 Corinthians 9:20

To those not having the law I became like one not having the law<cr>1</cr>  (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law),<cr>2</cr>  so as to win those not having the law.

1 Corinthians 9:21

To the weak I became weak, to win the weak.<cr>1</cr>  I have become all things to all people<cr>2</cr>  so that by all possible means I might save some.<cr>3</cr> 

1 Corinthians 9:22

I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

1 Corinthians 9:23

1 Corinthians 9:24

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize?<cr>1</cr>  Run<cr>2</cr>  in such a way as to get the prize.

Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown<cr>1</cr>  that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.<cr>2</cr> 

1 Corinthians 9:25

Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly;<cr>1</cr>  I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.<cr>2</cr> 

1 Corinthians 9:26

No, I strike a blow to my body<cr>1</cr>  and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.<cr>2</cr> 

1 Corinthians 9:27

1 Corinthians 10:1

For I do not want you to be ignorant<cr>1</cr>  of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud<cr>2</cr>  and that they all passed through the sea.<cr>3</cr> 

They were all baptized into<cr>1</cr>  Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

1 Corinthians 10:2

They all ate the same spiritual food<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:3

and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock<cr>1</cr>  that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.

1 Corinthians 10:4

Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:5

Now these things occurred as examples<cr>1</cr>  to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did.

1 Corinthians 10:6

Do not be idolaters,<cr>1</cr>  as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”<ft>1</ft><cr>2</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:7

We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:8

We should not test Christ,<ft>1</ft><cr>1</cr>  as some of them did—and were killed by snakes.<cr>2</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:9

And do not grumble, as some of them did<cr>1</cr> —and were killed<cr>2</cr>  by the destroying angel.<cr>3</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:10

These things happened to them as examples<cr>1</cr>  and were written down as warnings for us,<cr>2</cr>  on whom the culmination of the ages has come.<cr>3</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:11

So, if you think you are standing firm,<cr>1</cr>  be careful that you don’t fall!

1 Corinthians 10:12

No temptation<ft>1</ft> has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful;<cr>1</cr>  he will not let you be tempted<ft>2</ft> beyond what you can bear.<cr>2</cr>  But when you are tempted,<ft>3</ft> he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

1 Corinthians 10:13

1 Corinthians 10:14

Therefore, my dear friends,<cr>1</cr>  flee from idolatry.<cr>2</cr> 

I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say.

1 Corinthians 10:15

Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break<cr>1</cr>  a participation in the body of Christ?<cr>2</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:16

Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body,<cr>1</cr>  for we all share the one loaf.

1 Corinthians 10:17

Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices<cr>1</cr>  participate in the altar?

1 Corinthians 10:18

Do I mean then that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:19

No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons,<cr>1</cr>  not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons.

1 Corinthians 10:20

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:21

Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy?<cr>1</cr>  Are we stronger than he?<cr>2</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:22

1 Corinthians 10:23

“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial.<cr>1</cr>  “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive.

No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:24

Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:25

for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”<ft>1</ft><cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:26

If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you<cr>1</cr>  without raising questions of conscience.

1 Corinthians 10:27

But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:28

I am referring to the other person’s conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom<cr>1</cr>  being judged by another’s conscience?

1 Corinthians 10:29

If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:30

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:31

Do not cause anyone to stumble,<cr>1</cr>  whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God<cr>2</cr> —

1 Corinthians 10:32

even as I try to please everyone in every way.<cr>1</cr>  For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many,<cr>2</cr>  so that they may be saved.<cr>3</cr> 

1 Corinthians 10:33

Follow my example,<cr>1</cr>  as I follow the example of Christ.<cr>2</cr> 

1 Corinthians 11:1

1 Corinthians 11:2

I praise you<cr>1</cr>  for remembering me in everything<cr>2</cr>  and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you.<cr>3</cr> 

But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ,<cr>1</cr>  and the head of the woman is man,<ft>1</ft><cr>2</cr>  and the head of Christ is God.<cr>3</cr> 

1 Corinthians 11:3

Every man who prays or prophesies<cr>1</cr>  with his head covered dishonors his head.

1 Corinthians 11:4

But every woman who prays or prophesies<cr>1</cr>  with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved.<cr>2</cr> 

1 Corinthians 11:5

For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

1 Corinthians 11:6

A man ought not to cover his head,<ft>1</ft> since he is the image<cr>1</cr>  and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

1 Corinthians 11:7

For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 11:8

neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 11:9

It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own<ft>1</ft> head, because of the angels.

1 Corinthians 11:10

Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

1 Corinthians 11:11

For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 11:12

Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

1 Corinthians 11:13

Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,

1 Corinthians 11:14

but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.

1 Corinthians 11:15

If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 11:16

Correcting an Abuse of the Lord’s Supper<cr>1</cr> 

1 Corinthians 11:17

In the following directives I have no praise for you,<cr>1</cr>  for your meetings do more harm than good.

In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions<cr>1</cr>  among you, and to some extent I believe it.

1 Corinthians 11:18

 1 Now about food sacrificed to idols:   We know that “We all possess knowledge.”   But knowledge puffs up while love builds up. 2 Those who think they know something   do not yet know as they ought to know.   3 But whoever loves God is known by God.    4 So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols:   We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world”   and that “There is no God but one.”   5 For even if there are so-called gods,   whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), 6 yet for us there is but one God,   the Father,   from whom all things came   and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord,   Jesus Christ, through whom all things came   and through whom we live. 7 But not everyone possesses this knowledge.   Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak,   it is defiled. 8 But food does not bring us near to God;   we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do. 9 Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block   to the weak.   10 For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?   11 So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed   by your knowledge. 12 When you sin against them   in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.   13 Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.   1 Am I not free?   Am I not an apostle?   Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?   Are you not the result of my work in the Lord?   2 Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal   of my apostleship in the Lord. 3 This is my defense to those who sit in judgment on me. 4 Don’t we have the right to food and drink?   5 Don’t we have the right to take a believing wife   along with us, as do the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers   and Cephas ?   6 Or is it only I and Barnabas   who lack the right to not work for a living? 7 Who serves as a soldier   at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard   and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk? 8 Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing? 9 For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.”    Is it about oxen that God is concerned?   10 Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us,   because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.   11 If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?   12 If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not use this right.   On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder   the gospel of Christ. 13 Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar?   14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.   15 But I have not used any of these rights.   And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me, for I would rather die than allow anyone to deprive me of this boast.   16 For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach.   Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward;   if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me.   18 What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge,   and so not make full use of my rights   as a preacher of the gospel. 19 Though I am free   and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone,   to win as many as possible.   20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews.   To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law),   so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law   (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law),   so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak.   I have become all things to all people   so that by all possible means I might save some.   23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings. 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize?   Run   in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown   that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.   26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly;   I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.   27 No, I strike a blow to my body   and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.   1 For I do not want you to be ignorant   of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud   and that they all passed through the sea.   2 They were all baptized into   Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 3 They all ate the same spiritual food   4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock   that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. 5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.   6 Now these things occurred as examples   to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. 7 Do not be idolaters,   as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”    8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.   9 We should not test Christ,    as some of them did—and were killed by snakes.   10 And do not grumble, as some of them did  —and were killed   by the destroying angel.   11 These things happened to them as examples   and were written down as warnings for us,   on whom the culmination of the ages has come.   12 So, if you think you are standing firm,   be careful that you don’t fall! 13 No temptation  has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful;   he will not let you be tempted  beyond what you can bear.   But when you are tempted,  he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 14 Therefore, my dear friends,   flee from idolatry.   15 I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break   a participation in the body of Christ?   17 Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body,   for we all share the one loaf. 18 Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices   participate in the altar? 19 Do I mean then that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?   20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons,   not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.   22 Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy?   Are we stronger than he?   23 “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial.   “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive. 24 No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.   25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,   26 for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”    27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you   without raising questions of conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.   29 I am referring to the other person’s conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom   being judged by another’s conscience? 30 If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?   31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.   32 Do not cause anyone to stumble,   whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God  — 33 even as I try to please everyone in every way.   For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many,   so that they may be saved.   1 Follow my example,   as I follow the example of Christ.   2 I praise you   for remembering me in everything   and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you.   3 But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ,   and the head of the woman is man,    and the head of Christ is God.   4 Every man who prays or prophesies   with his head covered dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies   with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved.   6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head. 7 A man ought not to cover his head,  since he is the image   and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;   9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.   10 It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own  head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.   13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.   17 In the following directives I have no praise for you,   for your meetings do more harm than good. 18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions   among you, and to some extent I believe it. 19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval.   20 So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat, 21 for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers.   As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk. 22 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God   by humiliating those who have nothing?   What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you?   Certainly not in this matter! 23 For I received from the Lord   what I also passed on to you:   The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body,   which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant   in my blood;   do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.   27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.   28 Everyone ought to examine themselves   before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.   31 But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.   32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined   so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.   33 So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together. 34 Anyone who is hungry   should eat something at home,   so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment. And when I come   I will give further directions. 1 Now about the gifts of the Spirit,   brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.   2 You know that when you were pagans,   somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.   3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,”   and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,”   except by the Holy Spirit.   4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit   distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone   it is the same God   at work. 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.   8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom,   to another a message of knowledge   by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith   by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing   by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers,   to another prophecy,   to another distinguishing between spirits,   to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,    and to still another the interpretation of tongues.  11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit,   and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available. Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English.

The NIV is published by Zondervan in the United States and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. The NIV was updated in 1984 and 2011 and has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.
