1COR 14:1
1 Corinthians 14:1
|
|
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts,
but rather that ye may prophesy. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:2
1 Corinthians 14:2
|
|
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh
not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit
he speaketh mysteries. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:3
1 Corinthians 14:3
|
|
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to
edification, and exhortation, and comfort. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:4
1 Corinthians 14:4
|
|
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth
himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:5
1 Corinthians 14:5
|
|
I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather
that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with
tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:6
1 Corinthians 14:6
|
|
Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with
tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation,
or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? |
|
|
|
1COR 14:7
1 Corinthians 14:7
|
|
And even things without life giving sound, whether
pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known
what is piped or harped? |
|
|
|
1COR 14:8
1 Corinthians 14:8
|
|
For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound,
who shall prepare himself to the battle? |
|
|
|
1COR 14:9
1 Corinthians 14:9
|
|
So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue
words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall
speak into the air. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:10
1 Corinthians 14:10
|
|
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices
in the world, and none of them is without signification. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:11
1 Corinthians 14:11
|
|
Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice,
I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a
barbarian unto me. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:12
1 Corinthians 14:12
|
|
Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual
gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:13
1 Corinthians 14:13
|
|
Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown
tongue pray that he may interpret. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:14
1 Corinthians 14:14
|
|
For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit
prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:15
1 Corinthians 14:15
|
|
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit,
and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and
I will sing with the understanding also. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:16
1 Corinthians 14:16
|
|
Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit,
how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of
thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? |
|
|
|
1COR 14:17
1 Corinthians 14:17
|
|
For thou verily givest thanks well, but the
other is not edified. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:18
1 Corinthians 14:18
|
|
I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than
ye all: |
|
|
|
1COR 14:19
1 Corinthians 14:19
|
|
Yet in the church I had rather speak five words
with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand
words in an unknown tongue. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:20
1 Corinthians 14:20
|
|
Brethren, be not children in understanding:
howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:21
1 Corinthians 14:21
|
|
In the law it is written, With men of other
tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will
they not hear me, saith the Lord. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:22
1 Corinthians 14:22
|
|
Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them
that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them
that believe not, but for them which believe. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:23
1 Corinthians 14:23
|
|
If therefore the whole church be come together
into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned,
or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? |
|
|
|
1COR 14:24
1 Corinthians 14:24
|
|
But if all prophesy, and there come in one that
believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: |
|
|
|
1COR 14:25
1 Corinthians 14:25
|
|
And thus are the secrets of his heart made
manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that
God is in you of a truth. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:26
1 Corinthians 14:26
|
|
How is it then, brethren? when ye come together,
every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation,
hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:27
1 Corinthians 14:27
|
|
If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it
be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:28
1 Corinthians 14:28
|
|
But if there be no interpreter, let him keep
silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:29
1 Corinthians 14:29
|
|
Let the prophets speak two or three, and let
the other judge. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:30
1 Corinthians 14:30
|
|
If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth
by, let the first hold his peace. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:31
1 Corinthians 14:31
|
|
For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all
may learn, and all may be comforted. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:32
1 Corinthians 14:32
|
|
And the spirits of the prophets are subject
to the prophets. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:33
1 Corinthians 14:33
|
|
For God is not the author of confusion, but
of peace, as in all churches of the saints. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:34
1 Corinthians 14:34
|
|
Let your women keep silence in the churches:
for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under
obedience as also saith the law. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:35
1 Corinthians 14:35
|
|
And if they will learn any thing, let them ask
their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:36
1 Corinthians 14:36
|
|
What? came the word of God out from you? or
came it unto you only? |
|
|
|
1COR 14:37
1 Corinthians 14:37
|
|
If any man think himself to be a prophet, or
spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments
of the Lord. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:38
1 Corinthians 14:38
|
|
But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:39
1 Corinthians 14:39
|
|
Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and
forbid not to speak with tongues. |
|
|
|
1COR 14:40
1 Corinthians 14:40
|
|
Let all things be done decently and in order. |
