1 Corinthians 12:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 [a]For to one is given by the Spirit the word of [b]wisdom: and to another the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit:
9 And to another is given faith by the same Spirit: and to another the gifts of healing, by the same Spirit:
10 And to another the [c]operations of great works: and to another, [d]prophecy: and to another, the [e]discerning of spirits: and to another, diversities of tongues: and to another, the interpretation of tongues.
