4 There are different kinds of spiritual gifts,
but the same Spirit is the source of them all.
5 There are different kinds of service,
but we serve the same Lord.
6 God works in different ways,
but it is the same God who does the work in all of us.
7 A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.
8 To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice;
to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge.
9 The same Spirit gives great faith to another,
and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing.
10 He gives one person the power to perform miracles,
and another the ability to prophesy.
He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit.
Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages,
while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said.
11 It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts.
He alone decides which gift each person should have.
(New Living Translation)
4 Now there are varieties of gifts,
but the same Spirit;
5 and there are varieties of service,
but the same Lord;
6 and there are varieties of activities,
but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.
7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom,
and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
9 to another faith by the same Spirit,
to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,
10 to another the working of miracles,
to another prophecy,
to another the ability to distinguish between spirits,
to another various kinds of tongues,
to another the interpretation of tongues.
11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit,
who apportions to each one individually as he wills.
(English Standard Version)
4-7 Men have different gifts,
but it is the same Spirit who gives them.
There are different ways of serving God,
but it is the same Lord who is served.
God works through different men in different ways,
but it is the same God who achieves his purposes through them all.
Each man is given his gift by the Spirit that he may make the most of it.
8-11 One man’s gift by the Spirit is to speak with wisdom,
another’s to speak with knowledge.
The same Spirit gives to another man faith,
to another the ability to heal,
to another the power to do great deeds.
The same Spirit gives to another man the gift of preaching the word of God,
to another the ability to discriminate in spiritual matters,
to another speech in different tongues.
Behind all these gifts is the operation of the same Spirit,
who distributes to each individual man, as he wills.
(J B Phillips)
4-11 God’s various gifts are handed out everywhere;
but they all originate in God’s Spirit.
God’s various ministries are carried out everywhere;
but they all originate in God’s Spirit.
God’s various expressions of power are in action everywhere;
but God himself is behind it all.
Each person is given something to do that shows who God is: Everyone gets in on it, everyone benefits.
All kinds of things are handed out by the Spirit,
and to all kinds of people!
The variety is wonderful:
wise counsel
clear understanding
simple trust
healing the sick
miraculous acts
proclamation
distinguishing between spirits
tongues
interpretation of tongues.
All these gifts have a common origin,
but are handed out one by one by the one Spirit of God.
He decides who gets what, and when.
(The Message)
4 Now there are many kinds of grace gifts,
but they are all from the same Spirit.
5 There are many different ways to serve,
but they’re all directed by the same Lord.
6 There are many amazing working gifts in the church,
but it is the same God who energizes them all in all who have the gifts.
7 Each believer has received a gift that manifests the Spirit’s power and presence. That gift is given for the good of the whole community.
8 The Spirit gives one person a word of wisdom,
but to the next person the same Spirit gives a word of knowledge.
9 Another will receive the gift of faith by the same Spirit,
and still another gifts of healing—all from the one Spirit.
10 One person is enabled by the Spirit to perform miracles,
another to prophesy,
while another is enabled to distinguish those prophetic spirits.
The next one speaks in various kinds of unknown languages,
while another is able to interpret those languages.
11 One Spirit works all these things in each of them individually as He sees fit.
(The Voice)
