1 Corinthians 12:3
What is written? (ESV)
Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.
What does it say?
As a result, I want you to recognize that only those speaking in the Holy Spirit will testify that Jesus is Lord. No one speaking in the Spirit of God says that Jesus is accursed.
What is its immediate context?
Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth addresses many serious and difficult issues they were facing. Division among the body was a recurring theme – addressed in chapter 1 as following after certain prominent men (instead of Christ) – and here in chapter 12 as boasts in various spiritual gifts.
