The second reading for Pentecost was proclaimed in a different language at each Mass. This is the English translation.

A reading from the first Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians.

Brothers and sisters:

No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.

There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.

To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.

As a body is one thoug it has many parts, and all the parts ofthe body, though many, are one body, so also Christ.

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

The Word of the Lord.

Response: Thanks be to God.
