1 Corinthians - Chapter: 14


14:1	Follow after charitie, and desire spirituall giftes, but rather that yee may prophesie.
14:2	For he that speaketh in an vnknowen tongue, speaketh not vnto men, but vnto God: for no man vnderstandeth him: howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
14:3	But he that prophesieth, speaketh vnto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
14:4	He that speaketh in an vnknowen tongue, edifieth himselfe: but hee that prophesieth, edifieth the Church.
14:5	I would that yee all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is hee that prophesieth, then hee that speaketh with tongues, except hee interprete, that the Church may receiue edifying.
14:6	Now brethren, if I come vnto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speake to you either by reuelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
14:7	And euen things without life giuing sound, whether pipe or harpe, except they giue a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be knowen what is piped or harped?
14:8	For if the trumpet giue an vncertaine sound, who shall prepare himselfe to the battell?
14:9	So likewise you, except ye vtter by the tongue words easie to be vnderstood, how shall it be knowen what is spoken? for ye shall speake into the aire.
14:10	There are, it may bee, so many kindes of voices in the world, and none of them are without signification.
14:11	Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voyce, I shall bee vnto him that speaketh, a Barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a Barbarian vnto mee.
14:12	Euen so ye, forasmuch as yee are zealous of spirituall gifts, seeke that yee may excell to the edifying of the Church.
14:13	Wherefore let him that speaketh in an vnknowen tongue, pray that he may interprete.
14:14	For if I pray in an vnknowen tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my vnderstanding is vnfruitfull.
14:15	What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and wil pray with vnderstanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the vnderstanding also.
14:16	Else, when thou shalt blesse with the spirit, how shall hee that occupieth the roome of the vnlearned, say Amen at thy giuing of thankes, seeing he vnderstandeth not what thou sayest?
14:17	For thou verily giuest thankes well: but the other is not edified.
14:18	I thanke my God, I speake with tongues more then you all.
14:19	Yet in the Church I had rather speake fiue words with my vnderstanding, that by my voyce I might teach others also, then ten thousand words in an vnknowen tongue.
14:20	Brethren, bee not children in vnderstanding: how be it, in malice be yee children, but in vnderstanding be men.
14:21	In the Law it is written, With men of other tongues, and other lippes will I speake vnto this people: and yet for all that will they not heare me, saith the Lord.
14:22	Wherfore tongues are for a signe, not to them that beleeue, but to them that beleeue not: But prophesying serueth not for them that beleeue not, but for them which beleeue.
14:23	If therefore the whole Church be come together into some place, and all speake with tongues, & there come in those that are vnlearned, or vnbeleeuers, will they not say that ye are mad?
14:24	But if all prophesie, and there come in one that beleeueth not, or one vnlearned: he is conuinced of all, he is iudged of all.
14:25	And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest, and so falling downe on his face, hee will worship God, and report that God is in you of a trueth.
14:26	How is it then brethren? when ye come together, euery one of you hath a Psalme, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a reuelatio, hath an interpretatio: Let all things be done vnto edifying.
14:27	If any man speake in an vnknowen tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course, and let one interprete.
14:28	But if there be no interpreter, let him keepe silence in the Church, and let him speake to himselfe, and to God.
14:29	Let the Prophets speake two or three, and let the other iudge.
14:30	If any thing be reueiled to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
14:31	For yee may all prophesie one by one, that all may learne, and all may be comforted.
14:32	And the spirits of the Prophets are subiect to the Prophets.
14:33	For God is not the authour of confusion, but of peace, as in all Churches of the Saints.
14:34	Let your women keepe silence in the Churches, for it is not permitted vnto them to speake; but they are commanded to bee vnder obedience: as also saith the Law.
14:35	And if they will learne any thing, let them aske their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speake in the Church.
14:36	What? came the word of God out from you? or came it vnto you onely?
14:37	If any man thinke himselfe to be a Prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge, that the things that I write vnto you, are the commandements of the Lord.
14:38	But if any man bee ignorant, let him be ignorant.
14:39	Wherefore brethren, couet to prophesie, and forbid not to speake with tongues.
14:40	Let all things be done decently, and in order.


14:1	Laboure for loue. Couet spirituall giftes, but specially that ye maye prophecye.
14:2	For he yt speaketh with tunges, speaketh not vnto men, but vnto God: for no man heareth him. Howbeit in ye sprete he speaketh misteries.
14:3	But he that prophecieth, speaketh vnto men to edifienge, & to exhortacion, and to coforte.
14:4	He that speaketh with tunges, edifieth himselfe: but he that prophecieth, edifieth the cogregacion.
14:5	I wolde that ye all spake with tunges, but rather that ye prophecied. For greater is he that prophecieth, then he that speaketh wt tuges: excepte he also expounde it, that the congregacion maye haue edifienge.
14:6	But now brethren yf I come vnto you, and speake with tunges, what shal I profet you, excepte I speake vnto you ether by reuelacion or by knowlege, or by prophecienge, or by doctryne?
14:7	Likewyse is it also in ye thinges that geue sounde, and yet lyue not: whether it be a pype or an harpe, excepte they geue distyncte soundes from them, how shal it be knowne what is pyped or harped?
14:8	And yf the trope geue an vncertayne sounde, who wil prepare himselfe to the battayll?
14:9	Euen so ye likewyse, whan ye speake with tunges, excepte ye speake playne wordes, how shal it be knowne what is spoke? for ye shal but speake in ye ayre.
14:10	So many kyndes of voyces are in the worlde, and none of them is without significacion.
14:11	Yf I knowe not now what ye voyce meaneth, I shalbe an aleaunt vnto him that speaketh: & he that speaketh, shalbe an aleaut vnto me.
14:12	Eue so ye (for so moch as ye couet spirituall giftes (seke yt ye maye haue plentye to the edifienge of the congregacion.
14:13	Wherfore let him that speaketh wt tunges, praye, that he maye interprete also.
14:14	Yf I praye with tunges, my sprete prayeth, but my vnderstodinge bryngeth no man frute.
14:15	How shal it be then? Namely thus: I wil praye with ye sprete, and wil praye with the vnderstodinge also: I wil synge psalmes in the sprete, and wil synge spalmes with ye vnderstondinge also.
14:16	But whan thou geuest thankes with ye sprete, how shal he that occupieth the rowme of the vnlearned, saye Ame at thy geuynge of thankes, seynge he knoweth not what thou sayest?
14:17	Thou geuest well thankes, but the other is not edifyed.
14:18	I thanke my God, that I speake with tunges more then ye all.
14:19	Yet had I leuer in the cogregacion to speake fyue wordes with my vnderstondinge yt I maye enfourme other also, rather then ten thousande wordes with tunges.
14:20	Brethren be not children in vnderstondinge, howbeit as concerninge maliciousnes be childre, but in vnderstondinge be parfecte.
14:21	In the lawe it is wrytten: With other tunges and with other lippes wyl I speake vnto this people, and yet shal they not so heare me, sayeth the LORDE
14:22	Therfore are tunges for a token, not to the that beleue, but to them that beleue not. Contrary wyse, prophecienge, not to them that beleue not, but to them which beleue.
14:23	Yf the whole cogregacion now came together in to one place, & spake all with tunges, and there came in they that are vnlearned, or they which beleue not, shulde they not saye, that ye were out of youre wyttes?
14:24	But yff all prophecied, and there came in one yt beleueth not, or one vnlerned, he shulde be rebuked of them all, and iudged of all,
14:25	and so shulde the secrete of his hert be opened, and so shulde he fall downe vpon his face, worshippinge God, and knowleginge, that of a trueth God is in you.
14:26	How is it then brethren? Whan ye come together, euery one hath a psalme, hath doctryne, hath a tunge, hath a reuelacion, hath an interpretacion. Let all be done to edifyenge.
14:27	Yf eny ma speake with tunges, let him do it him selfe beynge the seconde, or at the most him selfe beynge ye thirde, and one after another, and let one interprete it.
14:28	But yf there be not an interpreter, then let him kepe sylence in the congregacion, howbeit let him speake to himselfe and to God.
14:29	As for the prophetes, let two or thre speake and let the other iudge.
14:30	But yf eny reuelacion be made vnto another that sytteth, then let the first holde his peace.
14:31	Ye maye all prophecye one after another that they all maye lerne, and that all maye haue comforte.
14:32	And the spretes of the prophetes are subiecte vnto the prophetes.
14:33	For God is not a God off discension, but off peace, like as in all congregacions off the sayntes.
14:34	Let youre wyues kepe sylence in the cogregacion, for it shal not be permytted vnto the to speake, but to be vnder obedience, as ye lawe sayeth also.
14:35	But yf they wyll lerne eny thinge, let them axe their hussbades at home. For it becommeth not weme to speake in the congregacion.
14:36	Or spronge the worde of God from amonge you? Or is it come vnto you onely?
14:37	Yf eny man thynke himselfe to be a prophet, or spirituall, let him knowe what I wryte vnto you, for they are the commaundementes of the LORDE.
14:38	But yf eny man be ignoraunt, let him be ignoraunt.
14:39	Wherfore brethren, couet to prophecye, and forbyd not to speake with tunges.
14:40	Let all thinges be done honestly and in order.


14:1	Sue ye charite, loue ye spiritual thingis, but more that ye prophecien.
14:2	And he that spekith in tunge, spekith not to men, but to God; for no man herith. But the spirit spekith mysteries.
14:3	For he that prophecieth, spekith to men to edificacioun, and monestyng, and coumfortyng.
14:4	He that spekith in tunge, edifieth hym silf; but he that prophecieth, edifieth the chirche of God.
14:5	And Y wole, that alle ye speke in tungis, but more that ye prophecie. For he that prophecieth, is more than he that spekith in langagis; but perauenture he expoune, that the chirche take edificacioun.
14:6	But now, britheren, if Y come to you, and speke in langagis, what schal Y profite to you, but if Y speke to you ethir in reuelacioun, ethir in science, ethir in prophecie, ether in techyng?
14:7	For tho thingis that ben withouten soule, and yyueth voices, ethir pipe, ether harpe, but tho yyuen distinccioun of sownyngis, hou schal it be knowun that is sungun, ether that that is trumpid?
14:8	For if a trumpe yyue an vncerteyn soune, who schal make hym silf redi to batel?
14:9	So but ye yyuen an opyn word bi tunge, hou schal that that is seid be knowun? For ye schulen be spekynge in veyn.
14:10	There ben many kyndis of langagis in this world, and no thing is with outen vois.
14:11	But if Y knowe not the vertu of a vois, Y schal be to hym, to whom Y schal speke, a barbarik; and he that spekith to me, schal be a barbarik.
14:12	So ye, for ye ben loueris of spiritis, seke ye that ye be plenteuouse to edificacioun of the chirche.
14:13	And therfor he that spekith in langage, preie, that he expowne.
14:14	For if Y preye in tunge, my spirit preieth; myn vndurstondyng is with outen fruyt.
14:15	What thanne? Y schal preye in spirit, Y schal preye in mynde; Y schal seie salm, in spirit, Y schal seie salm also in mynde.
14:16	For if thou blessist in spirit, who fillith the place of an ydiot, hou schal he seie Amen on thi blessyng, for he woot not, what thou seist?
14:17	For thou doist wel thankyngis, but an othir man is not edefied.
14:18	Y thanke my God, for Y speke in the langage of alle you;
14:19	but in the chirche Y wole speke fyue wordis in my wit, that also Y teche othere men, than ten thousynde of wordis in tunge.
14:20	Britheren, nyle ye be maad children in wittis, but in malice be ye children; but in wittis be ye parfit.
14:21	For in the lawe it is writun, That in othere tungis and othere lippis Y schal speke to this puple, and nether so thei schulen here me, seith the Lord.
14:22	Therfor langagis ben in to tokene, not to feithful men, but to men out of the feith; but prophecies ben not to men out of the feith, but to feithful men.
14:23	Therfor if alle the chirche come togidere in to oon, and alle men speken in tungis, if idiotis, ether men out of the feith, entren, whether thei schulen not seie, What ben ye woode?
14:24	But if alle men prophecien, if ony vnfeithful man or idiot entre, he is conuyct of alle, he is wiseli demyd of alle.
14:25	For the hid thingis of his herte ben knowun, and so he schal falle doun on the face, and schal worschipe God, and schewe verili that God is in you.
14:26	What thanne, britheren? Whanne ye comen togidere, ech of you hath a salm, he hath techyng, he hath apocalips, he hath tunge, he hath expownyng; alle thingis be thei don to edificacioun.
14:27	Whether a man spekith in tunge, bi twei men, ethir thre at the moste, and bi partis, that oon interprete.
14:28	But if there be not an interpretour, be he stille in the chirche, and speke he to hym silf and to God.
14:29	Prophetis tweine or thre seie, and othere wiseli deme.
14:30	But if ony thing be schewid to a sittere, the formere be stille.
14:31	For ye moun `prophecie alle, ech bi hym silf, that alle men lerne, and alle moneste.
14:32	And the spiritis of prophetis ben suget to prophetis;
14:33	for whi God is not of discencioun, but of pees; as in alle chirchis of hooli men `Y teche.
14:34	Wymmen in chirchis be stille; for it is not suffrid to hem to speke, but to be suget, as the lawe seith.
14:35	But if thei wolen ony thing lerne, `at home axe thei her hosebondis; for it is foule thing to a womman to speke in chirche.
14:36	Whether `of you the word of God cam forth, or to you aloone it cam?
14:37	If ony man is seyn to be a prophete, or spiritual, knowe he tho thingis that Y write to you, for tho ben the comaundementis of the Lord.
14:38	And if ony man vnknowith, he schal be vnknowun.
14:39	`Therfor, britheren, loue ye to prophecie, and nyle ye forbede to speke in tungis.
14:40	But be alle thingis don onestli, and bi due ordre in you.
