1 Corinthians 12:1-31 "Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would..." KJV - Online Bible Study Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant . 2 Ye know that ye wereGentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led . 3 Wherefore I give you tounderstand , that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no mancan say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but thesame Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there arediversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal . 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word ofwisdom ; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the sameSpirit ; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles ; toanother prophecy ; to another discerning of spirits ; to another divers kinds of tongues ; to anotherthe interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will . 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all themembers of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit arewe all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; andhave been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 Ifthe foot shall say , Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?16 And if the ear shall say , Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not ofthe body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing,where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body,as it hath pleased him . 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But noware they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have noneed of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more thosemembers of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour;and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need:but God hath tempered the body together , having given more abundant honour to that part whichlacked : 25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have thesame care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer , all the members suffer with it ; orone member be honoured , all the members rejoice with it . 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, andmembers in particular. 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarilyprophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments,diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers ofmiracles? 30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret ? 31 Butcovet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

1 Corinthians 11:17-34 "Now in this that I declare unto you..." KJV - Online Bible Study

1 Corinthians 11:17-34 "Now in this that I declare unto you..." KJV - Online Bible Study Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, butfor the worse. 18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there bedivisions among you; and I partly believe it. 19 For there must be also heresies among you, thatthey which are approved may be made manifest among you. 20 When ye come together thereforeinto one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. 21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry , and another is drunken . 22 What? have ye not houses to eatand to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I sayto you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. 23 For I have received of the Lord that whichalso I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed tookbread: 24 And when he had given thanks , he brake it, and said , Take , eat : this is my body,which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took thecup, when he had supped , saying , This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye , as oftas ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come . 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drinkthis cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a manexamine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth anddrinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep . 31 For if we would judgeourselves, we should not be judged . 32 But when we are judged , we are chastened of the Lord,that we should not be condemned with the world. 33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye cometogether to eat , tarry one for another. 34 And if any man hunger , let him eat at home; that yecome not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come .

I give with joy and delight.

Opportunities to give are plentiful. I am filled with joy each time I act on one of those opportunities. Giving my time, talent or treasure is not a burden. I do not give out of obligation. I give with love and without hesitation. I give with joy and delight, simply because I want to contribute.

How and what will I give today? I may call to encourage a friend, take treats to my co-workers, change a flat tire for a stranger, volunteer or donate to a charity, or give back to an organization that feeds me spiritually.

At the close of the day as I count my blessings, I smile as I recall how I gave of myself today. My reward is the joy in my heart that comes from giving.

Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.--2 Corinthians 9:7
