1 Corinthians chapter 12 - my translation

Here's a fresh translation of excerpts from 1 Cor 12 arranged for a responsive affirmation of faith.

My fellow believers, I don’t want you to be confused about spiritual realities.
For you know full well that when you were unbelievers you were often led astray in one way or another by your worship of idols, which are incapable of talking with you.

Therefore, I want to impart to you an understanding of the following: No one speaking by the Spirit of God would ever say, “Jesus is the cursed one.”
Likewise, no one can say, “Jesus is the Lord Yahweh,” unless the Holy Spirit is speaking through him.

It is this same Holy Spirit who distributes many different spiritual gifts to those who submit to the sole Lordship of Jesus.
Likewise, this one Lord portions out many different assignments to believers.

It is the same God who distributes different kinds of miracles that accomplish different results, through each believer’s spiritual gift and assignment, as God energizes and activates them.
Each person submitting to the sole Lordship of Jesus is given continuous revelation by the Holy Spirit to benefit not just himself but all.
