1 Corinthians 14:18-40

18I thankG2168 GodG2316, I speakG2980 in tonguesG1100 moreG3123 than you allG3956; 19howeverG235, in the churchG1577 I desireG2309 to speakG2980 fiveG4002 wordsG3056 with my mindG3563 soG2443 that I may instructG2727 othersG243 alsoG2532, ratherG2228 thanG2228 tenG3463 thousandG3463 wordsG3056 in a tongueG1100.

201BrethrenG80, 2do not be childrenG3813 in your thinkingG5424; yetG235 in evilG2549 3be infantsG3515, but in your thinkingG5424 be matureG5046. 21In 4the LawG3551 it is writtenG1125, “5By menG2084 of strangeG2084 tonguesG2084 and by the lipsG5491 of strangersG2087 I will speakG2980 to thisG3778 peopleG2992, and evenG3761 soG3779 they will not listenG1522 to Me,” saysG3004 the LordG2962. 22SoG5620 thenG5620 tonguesG1100 are for a signG4592, not to thoseG3588 who believeG4100 but to unbelieversG571; but 6prophecyG4394 is for a sign, not to unbelieversG571 but to thoseG3588 who believeG4100. 23ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 the wholeG3650 churchG1577 assemblesG4905 togetherG1909G3588G846 and allG3956 speakG2980 in tonguesG1100, and 7ungiftedG2399 menG2399 orG2228 unbelieversG571 enterG1525, will they not sayG3004 that 8you are madG3105? 24But ifG1437 allG3956 9prophesyG4395, and an unbelieverG571 orG2228 an 10ungiftedG2399 manG2399 entersG1525, he is 11convictedG1651 by allG3956, he is calledG350 to accountG350 by allG3956; 2512the secretsG2927 of his heartG2588 are disclosedG5318; and soG3779 he will 13fallG4098 on his faceG4383 and worshipG4352 GodG2316, 14declaringG518 that GodG2316 is certainlyG3689 amongG1722 you.

2615WhatG5101 is the outcome thenG3767, 16brethrenG80? WhenG3752 you assembleG4905, 17eachG1538 oneG1538 hasG2192 a 18psalmG5568, hasG2192 a 19teachingG1322, hasG2192 a 20revelationG602, hasG2192 a 21tongueG1100, hasG2192 an 22interpretationG2058. Let 23allG3956 thingsG3956 be doneG1096 for edificationG3619. 27IfG1535 anyoneG5100 speaksG2980 in a 24tongueG1100, it should be by twoG1417 orG2228 at the mostG4183 threeG5140, and each in turnG3313, and oneG1520 must 25interpretG1329; 28but ifG1437 there is noG3361 interpreterG1328, he must keepG4601 silentG4601 in the churchG1577; and let him speakG2980 to himselfG1438 and to GodG2316. 29Let twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 26prophetsG4396 speakG2980, and let the othersG243 27passG1252 judgmentG1252. 30But ifG1437 a revelationG601 is madeG601 to anotherG243 who is seatedG2521, the firstG4413 one must keepG4601 silentG4601. 31For you canG1410 allG3956 prophesyG4395 oneG2596G1520 by oneG2596G1520, soG2443 that allG3956 may learnG3129 and allG3956 may be exhortedG3870; 32and the spiritsG4151 of prophetsG4396 are subjectG5293 to prophetsG4396; 33for GodG2316 is not a God of 28confusionG181 but of 29peaceG1515, as in 30allG3956 the churchesG1577 of the 31saintsG40.

34The womenG1135 are to 32keepG4601 silentG4601 in the churchesG1577; for they are not permittedG2010 to speakG2980, but 33are to subjectG5293 themselves, justG2531 as 34the LawG3551 alsoG2532 saysG3004. 35IfG1487 they desireG2309 to learnG3129 anythingG5100, let them askG1905 their ownG2398 husbandsG435 at homeG3624; for it is 35improperG150 for a womanG1135 to speakG2980 in churchG1577. 3636Was it from you that the wordG3056 of GodG2316 first wentG1831 forthG1831? OrG2228 has it comeG2658 to you onlyG3441?

3737IfG1487 anyoneG5100 thinksG1380 he is a prophetG4396 orG2228 38spiritualG4152, let him recognizeG1921 that the things whichG3739 I writeG1125 to you 39are the Lord’sG2962 commandmentG1785. 38But ifG1487 anyoneG5100 does not recognizeG50 this, he 40is not recognizedG50.

39ThereforeG5620, my brethrenG80, 41desireG2206 earnestlyG2206 to 42prophesyG4395, and do not forbidG2967 to speakG2980 in tonguesG1100. 40But 43allG3956 thingsG3956 must be doneG1096 properlyG2156 and in an orderlyG5010 mannerG5010.
