| 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 | διωκετε την αγαπην ζηλουτε δε τα πνευματικα μαλλον δε ινα προφητευητε |
| 14:2 | ο γαρ λαλων γλωσση ουκ ανθρωποις λαλει αλλα τω θεω ουδεις γαρ ακουει πνευματι δε λαλει μυστηρια |
| 14:3 | ο δε προφητευων ανθρωποις λαλει οικοδομην και παρακλησιν και παραμυθιαν |
| 14:4 | ο λαλων γλωσση εαυτον οικοδομει ο δε προφητευων εκκλησιαν οικοδομει |
| 14:5 | θελω δε παντας υμας λαλειν γλωσσαις μαλλον δε ινα προφητευητε μειζων γαρ ο προφητευων η ο λαλων γλωσσαις εκτος ει μη διερμηνευη ινα η εκκλησια οικοδομην λαβη |
| 14:6 | νυνι δε αδελφοι εαν ελθω προς υμας γλωσσαις λαλων τι υμας ωφελησω εαν μη υμιν λαλησω η εν αποκαλυψει η εν γνωσει η εν προφητεια η εν διδαχη |
| 14:7 | ομως τα αψυχα φωνην διδοντα ειτε αυλος ειτε κιθαρα εαν διαστολην τοις φθογγοις μη δω πως γνωσθησεται το αυλουμενον η το κιθαριζομενον |
| 14:8 | και γαρ εαν αδηλον φωνην σαλπιγξ δω τις παρασκευασεται εις πολεμον |
| 14:9 | ουτως και υμεις δια της γλωσσης εαν μη ευσημον λογον δωτε πως γνωσθησεται το λαλουμενον εσεσθε γαρ εις αερα λαλουντες |
| 14:10 | τοσαυτα ει τυχοι γενη φωνων εστιν εν κοσμω και ουδεν αυτων αφωνον |
| 14:11 | εαν ουν μη ειδω την δυναμιν της φωνης εσομαι τω λαλουντι βαρβαρος και ο λαλων εν εμοι βαρβαρος |
| 14:12 | ουτως και υμεις επει ζηλωται εστε πνευματων προς την οικοδομην της εκκλησιας ζητειτε ινα περισσευητε |
| 14:13 | διοπερ ο λαλων γλωσση προσευχεσθω ινα διερμηνευη |
| 14:14 | εαν γαρ προσευχωμαι γλωσση το πνευμα μου προσευχεται ο δε νους μου ακαρπος εστιν |
| 14:15 | τι ουν εστιν προσευξομαι τω πνευματι προσευξομαι δε και τω νοι ψαλω τω πνευματι ψαλω δε και νοι |
| 14:16 | επει εαν ευλογησης τω πνευματι ο αναπληρων τον τοπον του ιδιωτου πως ερει το αμην επι τη ση ευχαριστια επειδη τι λεγεις ουκ οιδεν |
| 14:17 | συ μεν γαρ καλως ευχαριστεις αλλ ο ετερος ουκ οικοδομειται |
| 14:18 | ευχαριστω τω θεω μου παντων υμων μαλλον γλωσσαις λαλων |
| 14:19 | αλλ εν εκκλησια θελω πεντε λογους δια του νοος μου λαλησαι ινα και αλλους κατηχησω η μυριους λογους εν γλωσση |
| 14:20 | αδελφοι μη παιδια γινεσθε ταις φρεσιν αλλα τη κακια νηπιαζετε ταις δε φρεσιν τελειοι γινεσθε |
| 14:21 | εν τω νομω γεγραπται οτι εν ετερογλωσσοις και εν χειλεσιν ετεροις λαλησω τω λαω τουτω και ουδ ουτως εισακουσονται μου λεγει κυριος |
| 14:22 | ωστε αι γλωσσαι εις σημειον εισιν ου τοις πιστευουσιν αλλα τοις απιστοις η δε προφητεια ου τοις απιστοις αλλα τοις πιστευουσιν |
| 14:23 | εαν ουν συνελθη η εκκλησια ολη επι το αυτο και παντες γλωσσαις λαλωσιν εισελθωσιν δε ιδιωται η απιστοι ουκ ερουσιν οτι μαινεσθε |
| 14:24 | εαν δε παντες προφητευωσιν εισελθη δε τις απιστος η ιδιωτης ελεγχεται υπο παντων ανακρινεται υπο παντων |
| 14:25 | και ουτως τα κρυπτα της καρδιας αυτου φανερα γινεται και ουτως πεσων επι προσωπον προσκυνησει τω θεω απαγγελλων οτι ο θεος οντως εν υμιν εστιν |
| 14:26 | τι ουν εστιν αδελφοι οταν συνερχησθε εκαστος υμων ψαλμον εχει διδαχην εχει γλωσσαν εχει αποκαλυψιν εχει ερμηνειαν εχει παντα προς οικοδομην γενεσθω |
| 14:27 | ειτε γλωσση τις λαλει κατα δυο η το πλειστον τρεις και ανα μερος και εις διερμηνευετω |
| 14:28 | εαν δε μη η διερμηνευτης σιγατω εν εκκλησια εαυτω δε λαλειτω και τω θεω |
| 14:29 | προφηται δε δυο η τρεις λαλειτωσαν και οι αλλοι διακρινετωσαν |
| 14:30 | εαν δε αλλω αποκαλυφθη καθημενω ο πρωτος σιγατω |
| 14:31 | δυνασθε γαρ καθ ενα παντες προφητευειν ινα παντες μανθανωσιν και παντες παρακαλωνται |
| 14:32 | και πνευματα προφητων προφηταις υποτασσεται |
| 14:33 | ου γαρ εστιν ακαταστασιας ο θεος αλλ ειρηνης ως εν πασαις ταις εκκλησιαις των αγιων |
| 14:34 | αι γυναικες υμων εν ταις εκκλησιαις σιγατωσαν ου γαρ επιτετραπται αυταις λαλειν αλλ υποτασσεσθαι καθως και ο νομος λεγει |
| 14:35 | ει δε τι μαθειν θελουσιν εν οικω τους ιδιους ανδρας επερωτατωσαν αισχρον γαρ εστιν γυναιξιν εν εκκλησια λαλειν |
| 14:36 | η αφ υμων ο λογος του θεου εξηλθεν η εις υμας μονους κατηντησεν |
| 14:37 | ει τις δοκει προφητης ειναι η πνευματικος επιγινωσκετω α γραφω υμιν οτι του κυριου εισιν εντολαι |
| 14:38 | ει δε τις αγνοει αγνοειτω |
| 14:39 | ωστε αδελφοι ζηλουτε το προφητευειν και το λαλειν γλωσσαις μη κωλυετε |
| 14:40 | παντα ευσχημονως και κατα ταξιν γινεσθω |
