1 Corinthians 12:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
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 [a]operations of great works: and to another, [b]prophecy: and to another, the [c]discerning of spirits: and to another, diversities of tongues: and to another, the interpretation of tongues.
11 (A)And all these things worketh one and the selfsame Spirit, distributing to every man severally [d]as he will.
