1 Corinthians - Chapter: 14


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.


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	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.
