1 Corinthians 12:2


← 1 Corinthians 12:1 1 Corinthians 12:2 (KJV) 1 Corinthians 12:3 →
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
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.
