1 A za duhovne darove neću vam, braćo, zatajiti. 2 Znate da, kad bejaste neznabošci, idoste k idolima bezglasnim, kako vas vođahu. 3 Zato vam dajem na znanje da niko ko duhom Božijim govori neće reći: Anatemate Isusa; i niko ne može Isusa Gospodom nazvati osim Duhom Svetim. 4 Darovi su različni, ali je Duh jedan. 5 I različne su službe, ali je jedan Gospod. 6 I različne su sile, ali je jedan Bog koji čini sve u svemu. 7 A u svakome se pojavljuje Duh na korist; 8 jer jednom se daje Duhom reč premudrosti; a drugom reč razuma po istom Duhu; 9 a drugom vera, tim istim Duhom; a drugom dar isceljivanja, po tom istom Duhu; 10 a drugom da čini čudesa, a drugom proroštvo, a drugom da razlikuje duhove, a drugom različni jezici, a drugom da kazuje jezike. 11 A ovo sve čini jedan i taj isti Duh razdeljujući po svojoj vlasti svakome kako hoće. 12 Jer kao što je telo jedno i ude ima mnoge, a svi udi jednog tela, premda su mnogi, jedno su telo: tako i Hristos. 13 Jer jednim duhom mi se svi krstismo u jedno telo, bili Jevreji, ili Grci, ili robovi, ili sami svoji; i svi se jednim Duhom napojismo. 14 Jer telo nije jedan ud, nego mnogi. 15 Ako kaže noga; ja nisam ruka, nisam od tela; eda li zato nije od tela? 16 I ako kaže uho; ja nisam oko, nisam od tela; eda li zato nije od tela? Kad bi sve telo bilo oko, gde je čuvenje? 17 A kad bi sve bilo čuvenje, gde je mirisanje? 18 Ali Bog postavi sve ude u telu kako je koga hteo. 19 A kad bi svi bili jedan ud, gde je telo? 20 Sad su pak mnogi udi, a jedno telo. 21 Ali oko ne može reći ruci: Ne trebaš mi; ili opet glava nogama: Ne trebate mi. 22 Nego još koji se udi tela čine da su najslabiji najpotrebniji su. 23 I koji nam se čine da su najsramotniji na telu, na one udaramo najveću čast; 24 i nepošteni naši udi najveće poštenje imaju; a pošteni udi ne trebaju. Ali Bog složi telo i najhuđem udu dade najveću čast, 25 da ne bude raspre u telu, nego da se udi jednako brinu jedan za drugog. 26 I ako strada jedan ud, s njim stradaju svi udi; a ako li se jedan ud slavi, s njim se raduju svi udi. 27 A vi ste telo Hristovo, i udi među sobom. 28 I jedne dakle postavi Bog u crkvi prvo apostole, drugo proroke, treće učitelje, a potom čudotvorce, onda darove isceljivanja, pomaganja, upravljanja, različne jezike. 29 Eda li su svi apostoli? Eda li su svi proroci? Eda li su svi učitelji? Eda li su svi čudotvorci? 30 Eda li svi imaju darove isceljivanja? Eda li svi govore jezike? Eda li svi kazuju? 31 Starajte se, pak, za veće darove. Pa ću vam još bolji put pokazati.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
This whole place is very obscure: but the obscurity is produced by our ignorance of the facts referred to and by their cessation, being such as then used to occur but now no longer take place. And why do they not happen now?

Let us take our body for an example. The head is nothing without the feet, and the feet are nothing without the head; yea, the very smallest members of our body are necessary and useful to the whole body.
For although the Spirit of the Saviour that is in Him "searcheth all things, even the deep things of God," yet as to us "there are diversities of gifts, differences of administrations, and diversities of operations;" and we, while upon the earth, as Paul also declares, "know in part, and prophesy in part." Since, therefore, we know but in part, …
But I am not such a one, "for I am a sinful man." Yet do I also magnify Thy name; and He who hath "overcome the world" maketh intercession to Thee for my sins, accounting me among the "feeble members" of His body, because Thine eyes saw that of him which was imperfect; and in Thy book all shall be …

"But covet earnestly," saith he, "the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way." And when he was to declare this "way," he spoke not of raising the dead, not of cleansing of lepers, not of any other such thing; but in place of all these he set charity.
