the gift of healing

³⁰Are all workers of miracles? Do all have the grace of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?

¹⁰Just as each of you has received grace, minister in the same way to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

¹Pursue charity. Be zealous for spiritual things, but only so that you may prophesy. ²For whoever speaks in tongues, speaks not to men, but to God. For no one understands. Yet by the Spirit, he speaks mysteries. ³But whoever prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation. ⁴Whoever speaks in tongues edifies himself. But whoever prophesies edifies the Church. ⁵Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but more so to prophesy. For he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in tongues, unless perhaps he interprets, so that the Church may receive edification. ⁶But now, brothers, if I were to come to you speaking in tongues, how would it benefit you, unless instead I speak to you in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine?

¹Then calling together the twelve Apostles, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.

⁶And we each have different gifts, according to the grace that has been given to us: whether prophecy, in agreement with the reasonableness of faith;

⁸Charity is never torn away, even if prophecies pass away, or languages cease, or knowledge is destroyed. ⁹For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part. ¹⁰But when the perfect arrives, the imperfect passes away. ¹¹When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I understood like a child, I thought like a child. But when I became a man, I put aside the things of a child. ¹²Now we see through a glass darkly. But then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know, even as I am known. ¹³But for now, these three continue: faith, hope, and charity. And the greatest of these is charity.

¹²so much so that even when small cloths and wrappings were brought from his body to the sick, the illnesses withdrew from them and the wicked spirits departed.

¹⁷And descending with them, he stood in a level place with a multitude of his disciples, and a copious multitude of people from all of Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast, and Tyre and Sidon, ¹⁸who had come so that they might listen to him and be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled by unclean spirits were cured. ¹⁹And the entire crowd was trying to touch him, because power went out from him and healed all.

³⁶And fear fell over them all. And they discussed this among themselves, saying: “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they depart.”

¹Now concerning spiritual things, I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers. ²You know that when you were Gentiles, you approached mute idols, doing what you were led to do. ³Because of this, I would have you know that no one speaking in the Spirit of God utters a curse against Jesus. And no one is able to say that Jesus is Lord, except in the Holy Spirit. ⁴Truly, there are diverse graces, but the same Spirit. ⁵And there are diverse ministries, but the same Lord. ⁶And there are diverse works, but the same God, who works everything in everyone.

⁹And he said to me: “My grace is sufficient for you. For virtue is perfected in weakness.” And so, willingly shall I glory in my weaknesses, so that the virtue of Christ may live within me.

⁸Certainly, to one, through the Spirit, is given words of wisdom; but to another, according to the same Spirit, words of knowledge; ⁹to another, in the same Spirit, faith; to another, in the one Spirit, the gift of healing; ¹⁰to another, miraculous works; to another, prophecy; to another, the discernment of spirits; to another, different kinds of languages; to another, the interpretation of words.
