1 Corinthians 12:3

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says, “Jesus is accursed.” No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” but by the Holy Spirit.

World English Bible (WEB)

Wherefore{G1352} I give{G1107} you{G5213} to understand{G1107}{(G5719)}, that{G3754} no man{G3762} speaking{G2980}{(G5723)} by{G1722} the Spirit{G4151} of God{G2316} calleth{G3004}{(G5719)} Jesus{G2424} accursed{G331}: and{G2532} that no man{G3762} can{G1410}{(G5736)} say{G2036}{(G5629)} that Jesus{G2424} is the Lord{G2962}, but{G1508} by{G1722} the Holy{G40} Ghost{G4151}.

Strong's King James

(3) Therefore I make known to you that nobody speaking in יהוה YAHWEH's רוּחַ Ruach-Spirit says, "Curse ישוע Yeshua!" and nobody can say, "ישוע Yeshua is Adonai-Lord," if not in set-apart Holy רוּחַ Ruach-Spirit.

The F.O.G*
[3] So let me give you a crucial insight: No one speaking by יהוה's Spirit would ever curse Jesus. And no one can genuinely proclaim "Jesus is Lord" except by the Holy Spirit's power working within them. This is our litmus test for spiritual authenticity.
The F.O.G Paraphrase

wherefore, I give you to understand that no one, in the Spirit of God speaking, saith Jesus is anathema, and no one is able to say Jesus is Lord, except in the Holy Spirit.
