1. Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
|
1. Follow after G1377 charity G26 , and G1161 desire G2206 spiritual G4152 gifts, but G1161 rather G3123 that G2443 ye may prophesy G4395 .
|
|
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.
|
2. For G1063 he that speaketh G2980 in an unknown tongue G1100 speaketh G2980 not G3756 unto men G444 , but G235 unto God G2316 : for G1063 no man G3762 understandeth G191 him ; howbeit G1161 in the spirit G4151 he speaketh G2980 mysteries G3466 .
|
|
3. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
|
3. But G1161 he that prophesieth G4395 speaketh G2980 unto men G444 to edification G3619 , and G2532 exhortation G3874 , and G2532 comfort G3889 .
|
|
4. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
|
4. He that speaketh G2980 in an unknown tongue G1100 edifieth G3618 himself G1438 ; but G1161 he that prophesieth G4395 edifieth G3618 the church G1577 .
|
|
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.
|
5. I G1161 would G2309 that ye G5209 all G3956 spake G2980 with tongues G1100 , but G1161 rather G3123 that G2443 ye prophesied G4395 : for G1063 greater G3187 is he that prophesieth G4395 than G2228 he that speaketh G2980 , with tongues G1100 , except G1622 G1508 he interpret G1329 , that G2443 the G3588 church G1577 may receive G2983 edifying G3619 .
|
|
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?
|
6. G1161 Now G3570 , brethren G80 , if G1437 I come G2064 unto G4314 you G5209 speaking G2980 with tongues G1100 , what G5101 shall I profit G5623 you G5209 , except G3362 I shall speak G2980 to you G5213 either G2228 by G1722 revelation G602 , or G2228 by G1722 knowledge G1108 , or G2228 by G1722 prophesying G4394 , or G2228 by G1722 doctrine G1322 ?
|
|
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?
|
7. And even G3676 things without life G895 giving G1325 sound G5456 , whether G1535 pipe G836 or G1535 harp G2788 , except G1437 they give G1325 a G3361 distinction G1293 in the G3588 sounds G5353 , how G4459 shall it be known G1097 what is piped G832 or G2228 harped G2789 ?
|
|
8. For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
|
8. For G1063 G2532 if G1437 the trumpet G4536 give G1325 an uncertain G82 sound G5456 , who G5101 shall prepare G3903 himself to G1519 the battle G4171 ?
|
|
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.
|
9. So G3779 likewise G2532 ye G5210 , except G3362 ye utter G1325 by G1223 the G3588 tongue G1100 words G3056 easy to be understood G2154 , how G4459 shall it be known G1097 what is spoken G2980 ? for G1063 ye shall speak G2071 G2980 into G1519 the air G109 .
|
|
10. There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
|
10. There are G2076 , it may be G1487 G5177 , so many G5118 kinds G1085 of voices G5456 in G1722 the world G2889 , and G2532 none G3762 of them G846 is without signification G880 .
|
|
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.
|
11. Therefore G3767 if G1437 I know G1492 not G3361 the G3588 meaning G1411 of the G3588 voice G5456 , I shall be G2071 unto him that speaketh G2980 a barbarian G915 , and G2532 he that speaketh G2980 shall be a barbarian G915 unto G1722 me G1698 .
|
|
12. Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
|
12. Even G2532 so G3779 ye G5210 , forasmuch as G1893 ye are G2075 zealous G2207 of spiritual G4151 gifts, seek G2212 that G2443 ye may excel G4052 to G4314 the G3588 edifying G3619 of the G3588 church G1577 .
|
|
13. Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
|
13. Wherefore G1355 let him that speaketh G2980 in an unknown tongue G1100 pray G4336 that G2443 he may interpret G1329 .
|
|
14. For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
|
14. For G1063 if G1437 I pray G4336 in an unknown tongue G1100 , my G3450 spirit G4151 prayeth G4336 , but G1161 my G3450 understanding G3563 is G2076 unfruitful G175 .
|
|
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.
|
15. What G5101 is G2076 it then G3767 ? I will pray G4336 with the G3588 spirit G4151 , and G1161 I will pray G4336 with the G3588 understanding G3563 also G2532 : I will sing G5567 with the G3588 spirit G4151 , and G1161 I will sing G5567 with the G3588 understanding G3563 also G2532 .
|
|
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?
|
16. Else G1893 when G1437 thou shalt bless G2127 with the G3588 spirit G4151 , how G4459 shall he that occupieth G378 the G3588 room G5117 of the G3588 unlearned G2399 say G2046 Amen G281 at G1909 thy G4674 giving of thanks G2169 , seeing G1894 he understandeth G1492 not G3756 what G5101 thou sayest G3004 ?
|
|
17. For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
|
17. For G1063 thou G4771 verily G3303 givest thanks G2168 well G2573 , but G235 the G3588 other G2087 is not G3756 edified G3618 .
|
|
18. I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
|
18. I thank G2168 my G3450 God G2316 , I speak G2980 with tongues G1100 more G3123 than ye G5216 all G3956 :
|
|
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.
|
19. Yet G235 in G1722 the church G1577 I had G2309 rather speak G2980 five G4002 words G3056 with G1223 my G3450 understanding G3563 , that G2443 by my voice I might teach G2727 others G243 also G2532 , than G2228 ten thousand G3463 words G3056 in G1722 an unknown tongue G1100 .
|
|
20. Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
|
20. Brethren G80 , be G1096 not G3361 children G3813 in understanding G5424 : howbeit G235 in malice G2549 be ye children G3515 , but G1161 in understanding G5424 be G1096 men G5046 .
|
|
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.
|
21. In G1722 the G3588 law G3551 it is written G1125 , With G1722 men of other tongues G2084 and G2532 other G1722 G2087 lips G5491 will I speak G2980 unto this G5129 people G2992 ; and G2532 yet for all that G3779 will they not G3761 hear G1522 me G3450 , saith G3004 the Lord G2962 .
|
|
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.
|
22. Wherefore G5620 tongues G1100 are G1526 for G1519 a sign G4592 , not G3756 to them that believe G4100 , but G235 to them that believe not G571 : but G1161 prophesying G4394 serveth not G3756 for them that believe not G571 , but G235 for them which believe G4100 .
|
|
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?
|
23. If G1437 therefore G3767 the G3588 whole G3650 church G1577 be come together G4905 into G1909 one place G846 , and G2532 all G3956 speak G2980 with tongues G1100 , and G1161 there come in G1525 those that are unlearned G2399 , or G2228 unbelievers G571 , will they not G3756 say G2046 that G3754 ye are mad G3105 ?
|
|
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:
|
24. But G1161 if G1437 all G3956 prophesy G4395 , and G1161 there come in G1525 one G5100 that believeth not G571 , or G2228 one unlearned G2399 , he is convinced G1651 of G5259 all G3956 , he is judged G350 of G5259 all G3956 :
|
|
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.
|
25. And G2532 thus G3779 are the G3588 secrets G2927 of his G848 heart G2588 made G1096 manifest G5318 ; and G2532 so G3779 falling down G4098 on G1909 his face G4383 he will worship G4352 God G2316 , and report G518 that G3754 God G2316 is G2076 in G1722 you G5213 of a truth G3689 .
|
|
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.
|
26. How G5101 is G2076 it then G3767 , brethren G80 ? when G3752 ye come together G4905 , every one G1538 of you G5216 hath G2192 a psalm G5568 , hath G2192 a doctrine G1322 , hath G2192 a tongue G1100 , hath G2192 a revelation G602 , hath G2192 an interpretation G2058 . Let all things G3956 be done G1096 unto G4314 edifying G3619 .
|
|
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.
|
27. If G1535 any man G5100 speak G2980 in an unknown tongue G1100 , let it be by G2596 two G1417 , or G2228 at the G3588 most G4118 by three G5140 , and G2532 that by G303 course G3313 ; and G2532 let one G1520 interpret G1329 .
|
|
28. But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
|
28. But G1161 if G1437 there be G5600 no G3361 interpreter G1328 , let him keep silence G4601 in G1722 the church G1577 ; and G1161 let him speak G2980 to himself G1438 , and G2532 to God G2316 .
|
|
29. Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
|
29. Let G1161 the prophets G4396 speak G2980 two G1417 or G2228 three G5140 , and G2532 let the G3588 other G243 judge G1252 .
|
|
30. If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
|
30. G1161 If G1437 any thing be revealed G601 to another G243 that sitteth by G2521 , let the G3588 first G4413 hold his peace G4601 .
|
|
31. For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
|
31. For G1063 ye may G1410 all G3956 prophesy G4395 one by one G2596 G1520 , that G2443 all G3956 may learn G3129 , and G2532 all G3956 may be comforted G3870 .
|
|
32. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
|
32. And G2532 the spirits G4151 of the prophets G4396 are subject G5293 to the prophets G4396 .
|
|
33. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
|
33. For G1063 God G2316 is G2076 not G3756 the author of confusion G181 , but G235 of peace G1515 , as G5613 in G1722 all G3956 churches G1577 of the G3588 saints G40 .
|
|
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.
|
34. Let your G5216 women G1135 keep silence G4601 in G1722 the G3588 churches G1577 : for G1063 it is not G3756 permitted G2010 unto them G846 to speak G2980 ; but G235 they are commanded to be under obedience G5293 , as G2531 also G2532 saith G3004 the G3588 law G3551 .
|
|
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.
|
35. And G1161 if G1487 they will G2309 learn G3129 any thing G5100 , let them ask G1905 their G2398 husbands G435 at G1722 home G3624 : for G1063 it is G2076 a shame G149 for women G1135 to speak G2980 in G1722 the church G1577 .
|
|
36. What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
|
36. What G2228 ? came G1831 the G3588 word G3056 of God G2316 out from G575 you G5216 ? or G2228 came G2658 it unto G1519 you G5209 only G3441 ?
|
|
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.
|
37. If any man G1536 think himself G1380 to be G1511 a prophet G4396 , or G2228 spiritual G4152 , let him acknowledge G1921 that G3754 the things that G3739 I write G1125 unto you G5213 are G1526 the commandments G1785 of the G3588 Lord G2962 .
|
|
38. But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
|
38. But G1161 if G1487 any man G5100 be ignorant G50 , let him be ignorant G50 .
|
|
39. Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
|
39. Wherefore G5620 , brethren G80 , covet G2206 to prophesy G4395 , and G2532 forbid G2967 not G3361 to speak G2980 with tongues G1100 .
|
|
40. Let all things be done decently and in order.
|
40. Let all things G3956 be done G1096 decently G2156 and G2532 in G2596 order G5010 .
