10. And again, verily I say unto you, I would that ye should always
remember, and always retain in your minds what those gifts are,
that are given unto the Church,
11. For all have not every gift given unto them; for there are many
gifts, and to every man is given a gift by the Spirit of God:
{165} 12. To some is given one, and to some is given another, that
all may be profited thereby;
13. To some it is given by the Holy Ghost to know that Jesus Christ
is the Son of God, and that He was crucified for the sins of the
world;
14. To others it is given to believe on their words, that they also
might have eternal life if they continue faithful.
15. And again, to some it is given by the Holy Ghost to know the
differences of administration, as it will be pleasing unto the same
Lord, according as the Lord will, suiting his mercies according to
the conditions of the children of men.
16. And again, it is given by the Holy Ghost to some to know
the diversities of operations, whether they be of God, that the
manifestations of the Spirit may be given to every man to profit
withal.
17. And again, verily I say unto you, to some is given, by the
Spirit of God, the word of wisdom;
18. To another is given the word of knowledge, that all may be
taught to be wise and to have knowledge.
19. And again, to some it is given to have faith to be healed,
20. And to others it is given to have faith to heal.
21. And again, to some is given the working of miracles,
22. And to others it is given to prophesy,
23. And to others the discerning of spirits.
24. And again, it is given to some to speak with tongues,
25. And to another is given the interpretation of tongues:
26. And all these gifts come from God, for the benefit of the
children of God.
27. And unto the Bishop of the Church, and unto such as God shall
appoint and ordain to watch over the Church, and to be Elders unto
the Church, are to have it given unto them to discern all those
gifts lest there shall be any among you professing and yet be not
of God.
28. And it shall come to pass that he that asketh in Spirit shall
receive in Spirit;
29. That unto some it may be given to have all those gifts, that
there may be a head, in order that every member may be profited
thereby:
30. He that asketh in the Spirit, asketh according to the will of
God, wherefore it is done even as he asketh.
31. And again I say unto you, all things must be done in the name
of Christ, whatsoever you do in the Spirit;
32. And ye must give thanks unto God in the Spirit for whatsoever
blessings ye are blessed with;
33. And ye must practice virtue and holiness before me continually.
Even so. Amen.
