1 Corinthians 14
|
- 14:1
Follow after
charity,
and
desire
spiritual gifts,
but
rather
that ye may
prophesy.
|
- 14:2
For he that
speaketh in an unknown
tongue
speaketh
not unto
men,
but unto
God:
for no
man
understandeth him;
howbeit in the
spirit he
speaketh
mysteries.
|
- 14:3
But he that
prophesieth
speaketh unto
men to
edification,
and
exhortation,
and
comfort.
|
- 14:4 He that
speaketh in an unknown
tongue
edifieth
himself;
but he that
prophesieth
edifieth the
church.
|
- 14:5
I
would that
ye
all
spake with
tongues,
but
rather
that ye
prophesied:
for
greater is he that
prophesieth
than he that
speaketh with
tongues,
except
he
interpret,
that the
church may
receive
edifying.
|
- 14:6
Now,
brethren,
if I
come
unto
you
speaking with
tongues,
what shall I
profit
you,
except I shall
speak to
you
either
by
revelation,
or
by
knowledge,
or
by
prophesying,
or
by
doctrine?
|
- 14:7 And
even things without
life
giving
sound,
whether
pipe
or
harp,
except they
give a
distinction in the
sounds,
how shall it be
known what is
piped
or
harped ?
|
- 14:8
For
*
if the
trumpet
give an
uncertain
sound,
who shall prepare
himself
to the
battle?
|
- 14:9
So
likewise
ye,
except ye
utter
by the
tongue
words easy to be
understood,
how shall it be
known what is
spoken ?
for ye
shall
speak
into the
air.
|
- 14:10
There
are, it may
be, so
many
kinds of
voices
in the
world,
and none of
them is without
signification
*.
|
- 14:11
Therefore
if I
know
not the
meaning of the
voice, I shall
be unto him that
speaketh a
barbarian,
and he that
speaketh shall be a
barbarian
unto
me.
|
- 14:12
Even
so
ye, forasmuch
as ye
are
zealous of
spiritual gifts,
seek
that ye may
excel
to the
edifying of the
church.
|
- 14:13
Wherefore let him that
speaketh in an unknown
tongue
pray
that he may
interpret.
|
- 14:14
For
if I
pray in an unknown
tongue,
my
spirit
prayeth,
but
my
understanding
is
unfruitful.
|
- 14:15
What is
it
then? I will
pray with the
spirit,
and I will
pray with the
understanding
also: I will
sing with the
spirit,
and I will
sing with the
understanding
also.
|
- 14:16
Else
when thou shalt
bless with the
spirit,
how shall he that
occupieth the
room of the
unlearned
say
Amen
at
thy giving of
thanks,
seeing he
understandeth
not
what thou
sayest ?
|
- 14:17
For
thou
verily givest
thanks
well,
but the
other
is
not
edified.
|
- 14:18 I
thank
my
God, I
speak with
tongues more
than
ye
all:
|
- 14:19
Yet
in the
church I had
rather
speak
five
words
with
my
understanding,
that by my voice I might
teach
others
also,
than ten
thousand
words
in an unknown
tongue.
|
- 14:20
Brethren,
be
not
children in
understanding:
howbeit in
malice be ye
children,
but in
understanding
be
men.
|
- 14:21
In the
law it is
written
*,
With men of other
tongues
and
other
*
lips will I
speak unto
this
people;
and yet for
all that will
they
not
hear
me,
saith the
Lord.
|
- 14:22
Wherefore
tongues
are
for a
sign,
not to them that
believe,
but to them that believe
not:
but
prophesying serveth
not for them that believe
not,
but for them which
believe.
|
- 14:23
If
therefore the
whole
church be come
together
into one
place,
and
all
speak with
tongues,
and there come
in those that are
unlearned,
or
unbelievers, will
they
not
say
that ye are
mad ?
|
- 14:24
But
if
all
prophesy,
and there come
in
one that believeth
not,
or one
unlearned, he is
convinced
of
all, he is
judged
of
all:
|
- 14:25
And
thus
are the
secrets of
his
heart
made
manifest;
and
so falling
down
on his
face he will
worship
God, and
report
that
God
is
in
you of a
truth.
|
- 14:26
How is
it
then,
brethren?
when ye come
together, every
one of
you
hath a
psalm,
hath a
doctrine,
hath a
tongue,
hath a
revelation,
hath an
interpretation.
Let all
things be
done
unto
edifying.
|
- 14:27
If any
man
speak in an unknown
tongue, let it be
by
two,
or at the
most by
three,
and that
by
course;
and
let
one
interpret.
|
- 14:28
But
if there
be
no
interpreter, let him keep
silence
in the
church;
and let him
speak to
himself,
and to
God.
|
- 14:29
*
Let the
prophets
speak
two
or
three,
and
let the
other
judge.
|
- 14:30
If
any thing be
revealed to
another that sitteth
by,
let the
first hold his
peace.
|
- 14:31
For ye
may
all
prophesy one by
one
*,
that
all may
learn,
and
all may be
comforted.
|
- 14:32
And the
spirits of the
prophets are
subject to the
prophets.
|
- 14:33
For
God
is
not the author of
confusion,
but of
peace,
as
in
all
churches of the
saints.
|
- 14:34
Let
your
women keep
silence
in the
churches:
for it
is
not
permitted unto
them to
speak;
but they are commanded to be under
obedience,
as
also
saith the
law.
|
- 14:35
And
if they
will
learn any
thing, let them
ask
their
husbands
at
home:
for it
is a
shame for
women to
speak
in the
church.
|
- 14:36
What?
came the
word of
God
out
from
you?
or came
it
unto
you
only?
|
- 14:37 If any
man think
himself to
be a
prophet,
or
spiritual, let him
acknowledge
that the
things that I
write unto
you
are the
commandments of the
Lord.
|
- 14:38
But if any
man be
ignorant, let him be
ignorant.
|
- 14:39
Wherefore,
brethren,
covet to
prophesy,
and
forbid
not to
speak with
tongues.
|
- 14:40
Let all
things be
done
decently
and
in
order.
