Psalm 36:5-10
36:5 Your steadfast love, O LORD,
extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.
36:6 Your
righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your judgments are like the great
deep; you save humans and animals alike, O LORD.
36:7 How precious is
your steadfast love, O God! All people may take refuge in the shadow of your
wings.
36:8 They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them
drink from the river of your delights.
36:9 For with you is the fountain
of life; in your light we see light.
36:10 O continue your steadfast love
to those who know you, and your salvation to the upright of heart!
1 Corinthians 12:1-11
12:1 Now concerning
spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be
uninformed.
12:2 You know that when you were pagans, you were enticed and
led astray to idols that could not speak.
12:3 Therefore I want you to
understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says "Let Jesus be
cursed!" and no one can say "Jesus is Lord" except by the Holy
Spirit.
12:4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same
Spirit;
12:5 and there are varieties of services, but the same
Lord;
12:6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God
who activates all of them in everyone.
12:7 To each is given the
manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
12:8 To one is given
through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of
knowledge according to the same Spirit,
12:9 to another faith by the same
Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,
12:10 to another
the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of
spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of
tongues.
12:11 All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who
allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses.
