1 Corinthians 12:5

And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

And {G2532} there are {G1526} differences {G1243} of administrations {G1248}, but {G2532} the same {G846} Lord {G2962}.

Also there are different ways of serving, but it is the same Lord being served.

There are different ministries, but the same Lord.

And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord.
