First Nations Version

1 Corinthians 12:1-11

Understanding Spiritual Things
Now, my sacred family members, you have much to learn about spiritual things, so I will teach you what I know. For you know that when you followed the ways of the Outside Nations, their spirit-images tricked you and led you from one false path to another, even though they have no mouths to speak with. So now you should know that no one who is guided by Creator’s Spirit says that Creator Sets Free (Jesus) is cursed. You should also know that no one can say from their heart that Creator Sets Free (Jesus) is the Honored Chief unless guided be the Holy Spirit.

Different Kinds of Giftings
There are different kinds of spiritual giftings, but they all come from the same Spirit. There are also different ways of serving, but the example to serve comes from the same Honored Chief. Creator’s power works in different ways through different people, but it is the same Great Spirit who is at work in all of them.
It is in these many ways that the Holy Spirit makes himself known in and through each of us, for the good of all.
Creator’s Spirit gives to one person words full of wisdom, and the same Spirit gives another person words full of knowledge. The Spirit gives a different person great faith and still another healing powers by the same Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives to one person miraculous powers, to another the power to speak Creator’s words. To another the Spirit gives the ability to tell good spirits from bad ones. To another the Spirit gives the ability to speak in different languages, and to another the ability to interpret those languages.
The power to do all these things comes from the one Spirit. It is this Spirit who decides which powers are to be given to each person.

John 6:35, 41-51
Creator Sets Free (Jesus) smiled, held out his arms to them, and said, “I am the bread of life that came down from the spirit-world above. The ones who come to me will hunger no more. The ones who trust me will thirst no more.” …
Upon hearing this, the Tribal Members complained, “Who is this ‘Bread from the spirit-world above’? Is this not the son of He Gives Sons (Joseph)? We know who his mother and father are. How can he say ‘I came down from the spirit-world above’?”
“Stop grumbling to each other,” he answered. “The only ones who come to me have been drawn by my Father. These are the ones I will bring back life at the end of all days. The Sacred Teachings from the prophets of ols tell us, ‘There will come a time when the Great Spirit will instruct everyone.’ That is why the ones who hear and listen to the Father come to me.
“The only one who has seen the Father is the one sent from the Great Spirit. This one has clearly seen the Father. I speak truth from my heart, the ones who trust from my heart, the ones who trust in me have the life of the world to come that never fades away, full of beauty and harmony.
“I am the bread that gives this life. Your ancestors ate bread in the desert wilderness, and they died. Here standing before you, is the bread that comes down from above. The ones who way this bread will not die. I am the living bread from above. The ones who eat this bread will live beyond the end of all days. And this is the bread that I will give as a gift to the world — my human body.”
