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	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.


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.
