Parallels

  • 1 Corinthians 7:1 (structural): Similar epistolary transitional formula (Περὶ δὲ ...) introducing a new topical section—same rhetorical move to shift subject-matter.
  • 1 Corinthians 14:1 (verbal): Same theme and vocabulary concerning ‘spiritual things/gifts’ (ζηλῶτε τὰ πνευματικά); continues and develops the topic introduced in 12:1.
  • Romans 12:6 (thematic): Discussion of spiritual gifts and their diversity (different gifts according to grace) parallels the subject-matter of 1 Cor 12 (charismata, distribution of gifts).
  • Ephesians 4:11-13 (thematic): Lists of gifts given to the church for building up the body echo 1 Cor 12’s theological purpose in explaining spiritual gifts and their function.

Parallels

  • Psalm 115:4-8 (verbal): Speaks of idols having mouths but not speaking, eyes but not seeing—background for Paul’s description of ‘mute’ (ἀφωνα) idols.
  • Isaiah 44:9-20 (allusion): Denounces the making and worship of lifeless idols—emphasizes their silence and impotence, a prophetic background for New Testament critiques of pagan idolatry.
  • Romans 1:22-23 (thematic): Paul condemns Gentiles for exchanging the glory of God for images—parallels 1 Cor 12:2’s contrast between former pagan idolatry and Christian knowledge.
  • Acts 17:16 (structural): Luke notes Paul’s reaction to Athens full of idols—an early narrative instance of Christians encountering pagan ‘mute’ worship that frames Pauline critique.
  • 1 Thessalonians 1:9 (thematic): Commends the Thessalonians for turning from idols to serve the living God—directly parallels the shift implied in 1 Cor 12:2 from pagan practice to Christian identity.

Parallels

  • Rom.10:9 (thematic): Paul links confession 'Jesus is Lord' with salvation/faith; 1 Cor 12:3 similarly ties the genuine confession of Jesus as Lord to the work of the Spirit.
  • Phil.2:11 (thematic): 'Every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord' echoes the confession language of 1 Cor 12:3 and underscores Lordship as the central confession the Spirit elicits.
  • Acts 19:13-17 (allusion): The seven sons of Sceva invoke Jesus' name without the Spirit's power and are overpowered—an example of the name being used apart from Spirit-enabled confession or authority, paralleling Paul's contrast.
  • Matt.12:31-32 (thematic): Jesus' warning about speaking against/blaspheming the Holy Spirit highlights the Spirit's decisive role in truthful speech about Jesus, resonating with Paul’s claim that true confession comes only by the Holy Spirit.
  • Rom.8:9 (structural): 'If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ he does not belong to him' parallels the structural link Paul makes between possession/operation of the Spirit and authentic belonging expressed by confessing Jesus as Lord in 1 Cor 12:3.

  • Romans 12:4–6 (thematic): Parallel teaching about variety of gifts/roles within one body—different gifts but a single body and unity of function, stressing diversity within unity.
  • Ephesians 4:4–7 (verbal): Affirms ‘one Spirit’ and that Christ gives differing gifts to each; shares the unity-and-diversity motif and language about one Spirit as source of varied gifts.
  • 1 Peter 4:10 (thematic): Speaks of believers receiving diverse gifts of God’s grace and exercising them for the benefit of others, resonating with Corinthians’ emphasis on varied Spirit-given gifts for the common good.

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed.

You know that when you were Gentiles you were carried away to those mute idols, however you were led.

Therefore I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. 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 workings, but it is the same God who works all things in all.

To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

For to one is given through the Spirit a word of wisdom, to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,

to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,

to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But the one and same Spirit produces all these, distributing to each one individually just as he wills.

For just as the body is one though it has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so also is Christ.

For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all given to drink of one Spirit.

For the body does not consist of one member but of many.

If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body?

If the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body?

If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be? But as it is, God placed the members, each one of them, in the body just as he desired.

If they were all one member, where would the body be? But now there are many members, yet one body.

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, the parts of the body which seem weaker are necessary;

and those parts of the body that we think less honorable we surround with greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater propriety;

whereas our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, giving the greater honor to the part that lacked,

that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same care for one another.

If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then those who work miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, administration, and various kinds of tongues.

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?

Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.
