Bible passages dealing with spiritual gifts in the new testament

Here are some key Bible passages dealing with spiritual gifts in the New Testament:

  1. Romans 12:3-8: "For by the grace given to me, I say to each one among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think, but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has assigned to each a measure of faith. For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, if prophecy, let it be according to the proportion of one's faith; if service, in his serving; or he who gives, with liberality; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness." (ESV)
  2. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11: "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. And there are varieties of effects, but the same God, who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues." (ESV)
  3. 1 Corinthians 12:12-31: "For just as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so too is Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, all for one purpose: Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. For the body is not one member but many. If the foot says, 'Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,' it is not because it is not a part of the body that it will not be, but on the contrary, it will be much more necessary. If they were all one member, where would the body be? But now they are many members, but one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, 'I have no need of you,' nor again the head to the feet, 'I have no need of you.' On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary; and those members of the body which we think less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our unpresentable parts have more abundant modesty, but our presentable parts have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacks it, that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another." (ESV)
  4. 1 Corinthians 14:1-40: This passage discusses the importance of spiritual gifts, particularly prophecy and tongues, in the church. It emphasizes the need for order and decorum in the exercise of these gifts.
  5. Ephesians 4:7-16: "But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore it says, 'When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.' (In saying, 'He ascended,' what does it mean but that he also descended to the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." (ESV)
  6. 1 Peter 4:10-11: "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves, as one serving by the strength which God supplies, in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ." (ESV)

These passages emphasize the importance of spiritual gifts in the life of the church, and provide guidance on how to exercise and use these gifts for the common good.
