1 Corinthians - Chapter: 14


14:1	Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things, and rather that ye may prophecy,
14:2	for he who is speaking in an `unknown' tongue -- to men he doth not speak, but to God, for no one doth hearken, and in spirit he doth speak secrets;
14:3	and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification, and exhortation, and comfort;
14:4	he who is speaking in an `unknown' tongue, himself doth edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify;
14:5	and I wish you all to speak with tongues, and more that ye may prophecy, for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues, except one may interpret, that the assembly may receive edification.
14:6	And now, brethren, if I may come unto you speaking tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophesying, or in teaching?
14:7	yet the things without life giving sound -- whether pipe or harp -- if a difference in the sounds they may not give, how shall be known that which is piped or that which is harped?
14:8	for if also an uncertain sound a trumpet may give, who shall prepare himself for battle?
14:9	so also ye, if through the tongue, speech easily understood ye may not give -- how shall that which is spoken be known? for ye shall be speaking to air.
14:10	There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is unmeaning,
14:11	if, then, I do not know the power of the voice, I shall be to him who is speaking a foreigner, and he who is speaking, is to me a foreigner;
14:12	so also ye, since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, for the building up of the assembly seek that ye may abound;
14:13	wherefore he who is speaking in an `unknown' tongue -- let him pray that he may interpret;
14:14	for if I pray in an `unknown' tongue, my spirit doth pray, and my understanding is unfruitful.
14:15	What then is it? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing psalms with the spirit, and I will sing psalms also with the understanding;
14:16	since, if thou mayest bless with the spirit, he who is filling the place of the unlearned, how shall he say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, since what thou dost say he hath not known?
14:17	for thou, indeed, dost give thanks well, but the other is not built up!
14:18	I give thanks to my God -- more than you all with tongues speaking --
14:19	but in an assembly I wish to speak five words through my understanding, that others also I may instruct, rather than myriads of words in an `unknown' tongue.
14:20	Brethren, become not children in the understanding, but in the evil be ye babes, and in the understanding become ye perfect;
14:21	in the law it hath been written, that, `With other tongues and with other lips I will speak to this people, and not even so will they hear Me, saith the Lord;'
14:22	so that the tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving; and the prophesy `is' not for the unbelieving, but for the believing,
14:23	If, therefore, the whole assembly may come together, to the same place, and all may speak with tongues, and there may come in unlearned or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
14:24	and if all may prophecy, and any one may come in, an unbeliever or unlearned, he is convicted by all, he is discerned by all,
14:25	and so the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so having fallen upon `his' face, he will bow before God, declaring that God really is among you.
14:26	What then is it, brethren? whenever ye may come together, each of you hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? let all things be for building up;
14:27	if an `unknown' tongue any one do speak, by two, or at the most, by three, and in turn, and let one interpret;
14:28	and if there may be no interpreter, let him be silent in an assembly, and to himself let him speak, and to God.
14:29	And prophets -- let two or three speak, and let the others discern,
14:30	and if to another sitting `anything' may be revealed, let the first be silent;
14:31	for ye are able, one by one, all to prophesy, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted,
14:32	and the spiritual gift of prophets to prophets are subject,
14:33	for God is not `a God' of tumult, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
14:34	Your women in the assemblies let them be silent, for it hath not been permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith;
14:35	and if they wish to learn anything, at home their own husbands let them question, for it is a shame to women to speak in an assembly.
14:36	From you did the word of God come forth? or to you alone did it come?
14:37	if any one doth think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you -- that of the Lord they are commands;
14:38	and if any one is ignorant -- let him be ignorant;
14:39	so that, brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and to speak with tongues do not forbid;
14:40	let all things be done decently and in order.


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.
