1 Corinthians 12:1-3

One Spirit, Many Gifts, and One Body in Christ

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1 Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.

2 You know that when you were pagans, you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.

3 Therefore I inform you 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.
