Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethern, I would not have you ignorant.
1st Corinthians 12:1 through 14:40
So what is it that people are ignorant of, even many of the brethern?
It is about the nine spiritual gifts and the truth of those gifts being for believers to receive now, so long as we are still seeing
as through a glass darkly. We will be seeing as through a glass darkly until we have received our glorified bodies.
1st Corinthians 15:52
I Corinthians 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
Therefore every man can seek (see Matthew 7:7 Luke 11:9) to receive the manifestation of the Spirit which is given to him, that he may be more able
to help build up and edify and strengthen the body of Christ, the other believers, and yes, even himself, by faith of Christ in him.
1 Corinthians 13:10 tells us
"When that which is perfect is come,
then that which is in part shall be done away."
That which is perfect references when we receive our glorified body.
1 Corinthians 13:12 tells us,
For now we see as through a glass darkly
but then face to face: now, I know in part, but then I shall know even as
also I am known.
The gifts of the Spirit are "...in part..." as evidenced by 1 Corinthians 13:12
God knows all. He gives us a word of knowledge, not all knowledge.
But when that which is perfect is come, then shall we know even as also we are known.
When God completely manifests our transformation then we have the perfection and completion He promised.
When we are transformed in the twinkling of an eye, then we will have the glorfied body that God has recorded
in scripture we are to receive at His return.
That is when the nine gifts of the Spirit mentioned here, which are all "in part" will cease.
Now we have a word of knowledge, which is only a part of the knowledge of God.
Now we have the gift of a word of wisdom, which is only part of the total wisdom of God.
Now we see as through a glass darkly, only seeing partially what is to be.
When we receive our glorified bodies, then we will know Him even as also we are known.
Until then we know Him by faith and in part.
The nine gifts of the Spirit are now for use by believers and remain available to believers
until we no longer need them, when we become as He is, when we are changed
in the twinkling of an eye. When we receive our glorified bodies.

I Corinthians 12:1 Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
I Corinthians 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
I Corinthians 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
I Corinthians 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
I Corinthians 12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
I Corinthians 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
I Corinthians 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
I Corinthians 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
I Corinthians 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
I Corinthians 12:10 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:
I Corinthians 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
I Corinthians 12:12 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.
I Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
I Corinthians 12:14 For the body is not one member, but many.
I Corinthians 12:15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
I Corinthians 12:16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
I Corinthians 12:17 If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling?
I Corinthians 12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
I Corinthians 12:19 And if they were all one member, where [were] the body?
I Corinthians 12:20 But now [are they] many members, yet but one body.
I Corinthians 12:21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
I Corinthians 12:22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
I Corinthians 12:23 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.
I Corinthians 12:24 For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that [part] which lacked:
I Corinthians 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.
I Corinthians 12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
I Corinthians 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
I Corinthians 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
I Corinthians 12:29 [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all workers of miracles?
I Corinthians 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
I Corinthians 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
I Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
I Corinthians 13:2 And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
I Corinthians 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
I Corinthians 13:4 Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
I Corinthians 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
I Corinthians 13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
I Corinthians 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
I Corinthians 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether [there be] prophecies, they shall fail; whether [there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether [there be] knowledge, it shall vanish away.
I Corinthians 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
I Corinthians 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
I Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
I Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
I Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.
I Corinthians 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy.
I Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth [him]; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
I Corinthians 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men [to] edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
I Corinthians 14:4 He that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
I Corinthians 14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater [is] he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
I Corinthians 14:6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
I Corinthians 14:7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
I Corinthians 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
I Corinthians 14:9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
I Corinthians 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them [is] without signification.
I Corinthians 14:11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh [shall be] a barbarian unto me.
I Corinthians 14:12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual [gifts], seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
I Corinthians 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue pray that he may interpret.
I Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
I Corinthians 14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
I Corinthians 14:16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
I Corinthians 14:17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
I Corinthians 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
I Corinthians 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that [by my voice] I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an [unknown] tongue.
I Corinthians 14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
I Corinthians 14:21 In the law it is written, With [men of] other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
I Corinthians 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying [serveth] not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
I Corinthians 14:23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in [those that are] unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
I Corinthians 14:24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or [one] unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
I Corinthians 14:25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on [his] face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
I Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
I Corinthians 14:27 If any man speak in an [unknown] tongue, [let it be] by two, or at the most [by] three, and [that] by course; and let one interpret.
I Corinthians 14:28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
I Corinthians 14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
I Corinthians 14:30 If [any thing] be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
I Corinthians 14:31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
I Corinthians 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
I Corinthians 14:33 For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
I Corinthians 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
I Corinthians 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
I Corinthians 14:36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
I Corinthians 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
I Corinthians 14:38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
I Corinthians 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
I Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
John 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it].
John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
John 16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give [it] you.
John 16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
Psalms 31:5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
John 4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
John 14:17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
