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.
