1 Cor. 12: 1, 4-12
, "NOW
concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
"Now there are
diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
"And there are
differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
"And there are
diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all
in all.
"But the manifestation
of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
"For to one is
given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge
by the same Spirit;
"To another faith
by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
"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:
"But all these
worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally
as he will.
"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."
Morm. 9: 7-8,
"And again I speak unto you who deny the revelations of God, and
say that they are done away, that there are no revelations, nor prophecies,
nor gifts, nor healing, nor speaking with tongues, and the interpretation
of tongues;
"Behold I say
unto you, he that denieth these things knoweth not the gospel of Christ;
yea, he has not read the scriptures; if so, he does not understand them."
Matt. 4: 23, "And
Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching
the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all
manner of disease among the people."
2 Ne. 4: 23,
"Behold, he hath heard my cry by day, and he hath given me knowledge
by visions in the night-time."
D&C 11: 25,
"Deny not the spirit of revelation, nor the spirit of prophecy,
for wo unto him that denieth these things."
Moro. 10:8-18,
"And again, I exhort you, my brethren, that ye deny not the
gifts of God, for they are many; and they come from the same God. And
there are different ways that these gifts are administered; but it is
the same God who worketh all in all; and they are given by the manifestations
of the Spirit of God unto men, to profit them.
"For behold,
to one is given by the Spirit of God, that he may teach the word of
wisdom;
"And to another,
that he may teach the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
"And to another,
exceedingly great faith; and to another, the gifts of healing by the
same Spirit;
"And again, to
another, that he may work mighty miracles;
"And again, to
another, that he may prophesy concerning all things;
"And again, to
another, the beholding of angels and ministering spirits;
"And again, to
another, all kinds of tongues;
"And again, to
another, the interpretation of languages and of divers kinds of tongues.
"And all these
gifts come by the Spirit of Christ; and they come unto every man severally,
according as he will.
"And I would
exhort you, my beloved brethren, that ye remember that every good gift
cometh of Christ."
