1 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.

Žēlesteibas dōvonas ir dažaidas.
1 Brōli, arī atteiceibā uz Gora dōvonom, es jyusu nagrybu pamest nazynōšonā. 2 Jyus zynat poši; koleidz bejot pogōni, jyus bez pretōšonōs ļōvet sevi vest pi māmajim dīvaklim. 3 Tōpēc es jums aizrōdu, lai nivins, kas Dīva Gorā runoj, Jezum napasmōdej; un nivins navar pasaceit: Jezus ir Kungs, kai tik Svātajā Gorā.
4 Žēlesteibas dōvonas gon ir dažaidas, bet Gors ir vins un tys pats. 5 Arī omoti ir dažaidi, bet vins un tys pat Kungs. 6 Un spāka darbeibas ir dažaidas, bet tik vins vīneigais Dīvs, kas vysu vysā kamā dora. 7 Gors pasarōda ikvīnam, lai nastu lobumu. 8 Vīnam caur Goru teik dūta gudreibas dōvona, cytam caur tū pošu Goru saprōta dōvona, 9 cytam otkon caur tū pošu Goru ticeiba, 10 cytam caur tū pošu Goru dzīdynōšonas dōvona, cytam breinumdareišonas dōvona, cytam pravītōšonas, cytam goru atškēršonas, cytam volūdu dōvona, cytam otkon volūdu iztulkōšona. 11 Tū vysu dora vīns un tys pats Gors, kas ikvīnam tōs izdola, kai grib.
12 Kai mīsa ir vīna, lai gon jai daudz ir lūcekļu, un vysi lūcekļi nasaskotūt uz daudzuma, sastōda tikai vīnu mīsu, tai pat arī Kristus. 13 Kai mes vysi: jūdi un pogōni, vērgi un breivī caur vīnu Goru vīnā mīsā asom nūkristeiti, tai pat mes vysi ar vīnu Goru asom dzirdeiti. 14 Arī mīsa nu vīna vin lūcekļa nasastōv, bet gon nu daudzejim. 15 Lai gon kōja saceitu: Jo es naasmu rūka, es pī mīsas napīdaru, tūmār jei pi mīsas pīdar. 16 Lai gon auss saceitu: Jo es naasmu acs, es pi mīsas napīdaru, tūmār jei pi mīsas pīdar. 17 Un jo vysa mīsa byutu tikai acs, kur tad byutu dzērde? Jo jei vysa byutu tikai auss, kur tad byutu ūža? 18 Tai tad, Dīvs nūrōdeja ikvīnam lūcekļam mīsā vītu, kai pats gribēja. 19 Un jo vysi kūpā byutu tikai lūcekli, kur tad byutu mīsa? 20 Bet tai, lai gon daudz ir lūcekļu, tūmār vīna vīneigō mīsa.
21 Tai tad, acss rūkai nadreikst saceit: Man tevis navajaga, ni arī golva kōjom: Man jyusu navajaga. 22 Turpretim, kas redzīs kai vōjōkī mīsas lūcekli, tī ir tī vajadzeigōkī. 23 Un ar tim mīsas lūceklim, kurus īskaitam par mozōk pīklōjeigim, mes apsaejam ar lelōku kautreibu, un mozōk pīklōjeigūs mes pīklōjeigōk gērbam. 24 myusu pīklōjeigajim tys nava vajadzeigs. Myusu mīsu Dīvs tai ir īkōrtōjis, ka vōjōkajim lūceklim ir īdevis lelōkas prīkšrūceibas. 25 lai mīsā nasacaltu nakōrteibas, bet gon, lai lūcekli vīns par ūtru kūpeigi ryupātūs. 26 Jo cīš vīns lūceklis, tad reizē ar jū cīš vysi lūcekļi; jo vins lūceklis teik gūdynōts, tad leidza prīcojās vysi lūcekļi.
27 Jyus asot Kristus mīsa un, atseviški jimti, Jō lūcekli. 28 Vīnus Dīva bazneicā pazeimōja par apostolim, cytus par pravīšim, cytus otkon par mōceitōjim, cytus par breinumdareitōjim, par sliminīku dzīdynōtōjim, par paleidzātōjim un pōrvaļdnīkim, par dažaidu volūdu (pratējim un volūdu tulkōtōjim). 29 Bet vai tad vysi ir apostoli? vai vysi pravīši? vai vysi mōceitōji? vai vysi breinumdareitōji? 30 Vai tad vysim ir breineigōs izdzīdynōšonas dōvonas? Vai vysi runoj volūdōs? Vai tad vysim ir tulkōšonas dōvona?
31 Jyus gon kōrojit pēc lelōkajom žēlesteibas dōvonom, bet es jums parōdeišu pōrōku ceļu:
