1 Corinthians - Chapter: 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.


14:1	Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
14:2	Because, he who speaks in an unknown tongue does not speak to men but to God, because no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.
14:3	But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.
14:4	He who speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
14:5	I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; because, he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, that the church may receive edification.
14:6	Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by knowledge, by prophesying, or by doctrine?
14:7	Even things without life, whether flute or harp, when they make a sound, unless they make a distinction in the notes, how will it be known what is piped or played?
14:8	Because, if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare themself for battle?
14:9	So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? Because you will be speaking into the air.
14:10	There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without significance.
14:11	Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me.
14:12	Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may excel for the edification of the church.
14:13	Therefore let him who speaks in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
14:14	Because, if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
14:15	What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.
14:16	Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say?
14:17	Because, you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified.
14:18	I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all;
14:19	yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
14:20	Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be children, but in understanding be mature.
14:21	In the law it is written: "With people of other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; and yet, for all that, they will not hear Me," says the Lord.
14:22	Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but serves for those who believe.
14:23	Therefore if the entire church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you are crazy?
14:24	But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is convicted by all.
14:25	And so the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.
14:26	How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.
14:27	If anyone speaks in an unknown tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret.
14:28	But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.
14:29	Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge.
14:30	But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent.
14:31	Because, you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.
14:32	And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
14:33	Because, God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
14:34	Let your women keep silent in the churches, because they are not permitted to speak; but they are commanded to be submissive, as the law also says.
14:35	And if they want to learn something, let them ask their husbands at home; because it is shameful for women to speak in the church.
14:36	What? Did the word of God originate from you? Or was it to you only that it has come?
14:37	If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.
14:38	But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
14:39	Therefore, brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues.
14:40	Let all things be done decently and in order.


14:1	Labour for love and covet spretuall giftes: and most chefly forto prophesye.
14:2	For he that speaketh with toges speaketh not vnto men but vnto god for no man heareth him how be it in the sprete he speaketh misteries.
14:3	But he that prophesieth speaketh vnto men to edifyinge to exhortacion and to comforte.
14:4	He that speaketh with tonges proffiteth him silfe: he that prophesyeth edifieth the congregacion.
14:5	I wolde that ye all spake with tonges: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophisieth? then he yt speaketh with tonges except he expounde it also that the congregacion maye have edifyinge.
14:6	Now brehren if I come vnto you speakige wt tonges: what shall I profit you excepte I speake vnto you other by revelacio or knowledge or prophesyinge or doctrine.
14:7	Moreover whe thinges with out lyfe geve sounde: whether it be a pype or an harpe: except they make a distinccion in the soundes: how shall it be knowen what is pyped or harped?
14:8	And also if the trope geve an vncertayne voyce who shall prepare him silfe to fyght?
14:9	Eve so lykwyse whe ye speake with toges excepte ye speake wordes that have signification how shall yt be vnderstonde what is spoke? For ye shall but speake in the ayer.
14:10	Many kyndes of voyces are in the worlde and none of them are with out signification.
14:11	If I knowe not what the voyce meaneth I shalbe vnto him that speaketh an alient: and and he that speaketh shalbe an alient vnto me
14:12	Eve so ye (for as moche as ye covet spretuall giftes) seke that ye maye have plentye vnto ye edifyinge of the congregacion.
14:13	Wherfore let him that speaketh with tonges praye that he maye interpret also.
14:14	If I praye with tonge my sprete prayeth: but my mynde is with out frute.
14:15	What is it then? I will praye with the sprete ad will praye wt the mynde also. I will singe with the sprete and will singe with the mynde also.
14:16	For els when thou blessest with ye sprete how shall he that occupieth the roume of the vnlearned saye amen at thy gevinge of thankes seynge he vnderstondeth not what thou sayest
14:17	Thou verely gevest thankes well but the other is not edyfied.
14:18	I thanke my god I speake with toges moare then ye all.
14:19	Yet had I lever in ye cogregacio to speake five wordes with my mynde to ye informacio of other rather then ten thousande wordes wt the tonge.
14:20	Brethre be not chyldre in witte. How be it as cocerninge maliciousnes be chyldre: but in witte be perfet.
14:21	In the lawe it is written with other toges and with other lyppes wyll I speake vnto this people and yet for all that will they not heare me sayth the Lorde.
14:22	Wherfore tonges are for a signe not to them that beleve: but to them that beleve not. Contrary wyse prophesyinge serveth not for them that beleve not: but for them which beleve.
14:23	Yf therfore when all the cogregacion is come to gedder and all speake with tonges ther come in they yt are vnlearned or they which beleve not: will they not saye that ye are out of youre wittes?
14:24	But and yf all prophesy and ther come in one that beleveth not or one vnlearned he is rebuked of all men and is iudged of every man:
14:25	and so are ye secretes of his hert opened and so falleth he doune on his face and worshippeth God and sayth yt God is wt you in dede.
14:26	How is it then brethre? When ye come to gedder every ma hath his songe hath his doctryne hath his toge hath his revelacio hath his interpretacio. Let all thinges be done vnto edifyinge.
14:27	If eny man speake wt tonges let it be two at once or at the most thre at once and that by course: and let another interprete it.
14:28	But yf ther be no interpreter let him kepe silence in the cogregacion and let him speake to him selfe and to God.
14:29	Let the Prophetes speake two at once or thre at once and let other iudge.
14:30	Yf eny revelacio be made to another that sitteth by let the fyrst holde his peace.
14:31	For ye maye all prophesy one by one that all maye learne and all maye have comforte.
14:32	For ye spretes of the Prophetes are in the power of the Prophetes.
14:33	For God is not causer of stryfe: but of peace as he is in all other congregacions of the saynctes.
14:34	Let youre wyves kepe silence in the cogregacions. For it is not permitted vnto them to speake: but let them be vnder obedience as sayth the lawe.
14:35	If they will learne enythinge let the axe their husbandes at home. For it is a shame for wemen to speake in the cogregacio.
14:36	Sproge ye worde of god fro you? Ether came it vnto you only?
14:37	Yf eny ma thinke him sylfe a prophet ether spirituall: let him vnderstonde what thinges I write vnto you. For they are the comaundementes of the Lorde.
14:38	But and yf eny man be ignorat let him be ignorant.
14:39	Wherfore brethren covet to prophesye and forbyd not to speake with tonges.
14:40	And let all thinges be done honestly and in order.
