1 Corinthians - Chapter: 14


14:1	Laboure for loue, and couete spyrytuall gyftes: and moste chiefely for to prophecye.
14:2	For he that speaketh wyth tounges speaketh not vnto men, but vnto God, for no man heareth hym, howe be it in the spyryte he speaketh mysteryes.
14:3	But he that prophecyeth, speaketh vnto men, to edifiynge, to exhortation and to comforte.
14:4	He that speaketh wyth tounges profyteth hym selfe: he that prophecieth edifyeth the congregation.
14:5	I woulde that ye all spake with tounges: but rather that ye prophecyed. For greater is he that prophecieth, then he that speaketh with tounges, excepte he expounde it also, that the congregacion maye haue edifiyng.
14:6	Nowe brethren yf I come vnto you speakinge with tounges, what shall I profite you, excepte I speake vnto you, other by reuelation or knowledge, or propheciynge, or doctryne.
14:7	Moreouer when thynges wythout lyfe, geue sounde: whether it be a pipe or an harpe excepte they make a distinction in the soundes, howe shal it be knowen what is piped or harped?
14:8	And also yf the trompe geue an vncertaine voice, who shall prepare him selfe to fyght?
14:9	Euen so likewyse when ye speake with tounges, excepte ye speake wordes that haue signifycacion, howe shall it be vnderstande what is spoken? For ye shall but speake in the ayer.
14:10	Manye kindes of voices are in the worlde and none of them are wythout significacion.
14:11	If I knowe not what the voice meaneth, I shalbe vnto hym that speaketh, an alient: and he that speaketh shall be alient vnto me
14:12	Euen so ye (for as much as ye couete spiritual gyftes) seke that ye maye haue plentye vnto the edifiyng of the congregation.
14:13	Wherfore let him that speaketh with tounges praye, that he maye interprete also.
14:14	If I praye wyth tounges, my spyryte prayeth: but my mynde is wythout fruite.
14:15	What is it then? I wyl praye with the spirite, and wyll praye with mynde also. I wil singe with the spyrite, and wil singe with the minde also.
14:16	For els when thou blessest with the spirite howe shal he that occupieth the roume of the vnlearned saye amen at thy geuynge of thankes, saynge: he vnderstandeth not what thou sayeste?
14:17	Thou verelye geueste thankes wel, but the other is not edifyed.
14:18	I thanke my God, I speake with tounges more then ye all.
14:19	Yet had I leuer in the congregation, to speake fyue wordes with my mynd to the information of other, rather then .x. thousand wordes with the tounge.
14:20	Brethren be not chyldren in wyt howebeit as concerninge maliciousnes be children: but in wyt be perfect.
14:21	In the lawe it is written, wyth other tounges, and with other lippes wyl I speake vnto thys people, and yet for al that wil they not heare me, sayeth the Lorde.
14:22	Wherfore, tounges are for a signe, not to them that beleue, but to them that beleue not. Contrarywyse propheciyng serueth not, for them that beleue not: but for them whiche beleue.
14:23	Yf therfore when all the congregation is come together, and all speake wyth tounges, there come in they that are vnlearned, or they whyche beleue not: wyll they not saye that ye are out of your wyttes?
14:24	But and yf all prophecye, and there come in one that beleueth not, or one vnlearned, he is rebuked of al men, and is iudged of euerye man:
14:25	and so are the secretes of hys herte opened, and so falleth he doune on hys face, and worshyppeth God, & sayeth that God is wyth you in dede.
14:26	Howe is it then brethren? When ye come together, euerye man hath his songe, hath his doctryne, hath his tounge, hath hys reuelation, hath hys interpretation. Let al thynges be done vnto edifiynge.
14:27	If anye man speake wyth tounges, let it be two at ones, or at the moste thre at ones, and that by course: and let another interprete it.
14:28	But yf there be no interpreter, let him kepe silence in the congregation, and let him speake to him selfe and to God.
14:29	Let the Prophetes speake two at ones, or thre at ones, and let other iudge.
14:30	And yf anye reuelation be made to another that sitteth by, let the fyrste holde hys peace.
14:31	For ye maye all prophecye, one by one that all maye learne, and all maye haue comforte.
14:32	For the spirites of the Prophetes are in the power of the Prophetes.
14:33	For God is not causer of strife, but of peace, as he is in all other congregations of the sainctes.
14:34	Let your wyues kepe silence in the congregations. For it is not permitted vnto them to speake: but let them be vnder obedience, as sayeth the lawe.
14:35	If they wil learne anye thynge, let them axe theyr husbandes at home. For it is shame for women to speake in the congregation.
14:36	Spronge the worde of God from you? Eyther came it vnto you onelye.
14:37	Yf anye man thinke hym selfe a Prophet, either spyrytuall. let him vnderstand, what thinges I write vnto you. For they are the commaundementes of the Lorde.
14:38	But and yf anye man be ignoraunte, let him be ignoraunt.
14:39	Wherfore brethren couete to prophecye, and forbyd not to speake wyth tounges.
14:40	And let al thynges be done honestlye and iu ordre.


14:1	Followe after loue, and couet spirituall giftes, and rather that ye may prophecie.
14:2	For hee that speaketh a strange tongue, speaketh not vnto men, but vnto God: for no man heareth him: howbeit in the spirit he speaketh secret things.
14:3	But he that prophecieth, speaketh vnto me to edifying, and to exhortation, and to comfort.
14:4	He that speaketh strange language, edifieth himselfe: but hee that prophecieth, edifieth the Church.
14:5	I would that ye all spake strange languages, but rather that ye prophecied: for greater is hee that prophecieth, then hee that speaketh diuers tongues, except hee expound it, that the Church may receiue edification.
14:6	And nowe, brethren, if I come vnto you speaking diuers tongues, what shall I profite you, except I speake to you, either by reuelation, or by knowledge, or by prophecying, or by doctrine?
14:7	Moreouer things without life which giue a sounde, whether it be a pipe or an harpe, except they make a distinction in the soundes, how shall it be knowen what is piped or harped?
14:8	And also if the trumpet giue an vncertaine sound, who shall prepare himselfe to battell?
14:9	So likewise you, by the tongue, except yee vtter wordes that haue signification, howe shall it be vnderstand what is spoken? for ye shall speake in the ayre.
14:10	There are so many kindes of voyces (as it commeth to passe) in the world, and none of them is dumme.
14:11	Except I know then the power of ye voyce, I shall be vnto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh, shalbe a barbarian vnto me.
14:12	Euen so, forasmuch as ye couet spirituall giftes, seeke that ye may excell vnto the edifying of the Church.
14:13	Wherefore, let him that speaketh a strange tongue, pray, that he may interprete.
14:14	For if I pray in a strange togue, my spirit prayeth: but mine vnderstading is without fruite.
14:15	What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, but I wil pray with the vnderstanding also: I wil sing with the spirite, but I will sing with the vnderstanding also.
14:16	Else, when thou blessest with the spirit, howe shall hee that occupieth the roome of the vnlearned, say Amen, at thy giuing of thankes, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest?
14:17	For thou verely giuest thankes well, but the other is not edified.
14:18	I thanke my God, I speake languages more then ye all.
14:19	Yet had I rather in the Church to speake fiue wordes with mine vnderstanding, that I might also instruct others, then ten thousande wordes in a strange tongue.
14:20	Brethren, be not children in vnderstanding, but as concerning maliciousnes be children, but in vnderstanding be of a ripe age.
14:21	In the Lawe it is written, By men of other tongues, and by other languages will I speake vnto this people: yet so shall they not heare me, sayth the Lord.
14:22	Wherefore strange tongues are for a signe, not to them that beleeue, but to them that beleeue not: but prophecying serueth not for them that beleeue not, but for them which beleeue.
14:23	If therefore when the whole Church is come together in one, and all speake strange tongues, there come in they that are vnlearned, or they which beleeue not, will they not say, that ye are out of your wittes?
14:24	But if all prophecie, and there come in one that beleeueth not, or one vnlearned, hee is rebuked of all men, and is iudged of all,
14:25	And so are the secrets of his heart made manifest, and so he will fall downe on his face and worship God, and say plainely that God is in you in deede.
14:26	What is to be done then, brethren? when ye come together, according as euery one of you hath a Psalme, or hath doctrine, or hath a tongue, or hath reuelation, or hath interpretation, let all things be done vnto edifying.
14:27	If any man speake a strange 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, which speaketh languages, 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	And if any thing be reueiled to another that sitteth by, let the first holde his peace.
14:31	For ye may all prophecie one by one, that all may learne, and all may haue comfort.
14:32	And the spirits of the Prophets are subiect to the Prophets.
14:33	For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as we see in all ye 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 ought to be subiect, as also the Lawe sayth.
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	Came the worde of God out from you? either came it vnto you onely?
14:37	If any man thinke him selfe to be a Prophet, or spirituall, let him acknowledge, that the things, that I write vnto you, are the commandements of the Lord.
14:38	And if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
14:39	Wherefore, brethren, couet to prophecie, and forbid not to speake languages.
14:40	Let all things be done honestly, and by order.


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.
