1 Corinthians 14:18-40

18I thankG2168 GodG2316, I speakG2980 in tonguesG1100 moreG3123 than you allG3956; 19neverthelessG235, in churchG1577 I preferG2309 to speakG2980 fiveG4002 wordsG3056 with my mindG3563 soG2443 thatG2443 I may instructG2727 othersG243 alsoG2532, ratherG2228 thanG2228 tenG3463 thousandG3463 wordsG3056 in a tongueG1100.

201BrothersG80 and sisters, 2do not be childrenG3813 in your thinkingG5424; yetG235 in evilG2549 3be infantsG3515, but in your thinkingG5424 be matureG5046. 21In 4the 5LawG3551 it is writtenG1125: “6By menG2084 ofG2084 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 7prophecyG4394 is not for unbelieversG571, but for thoseG3588 who believeG4100. 23ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 the wholeG3650 churchG1577 gathersG4905 togetherG1909G3588G846 and allG3956 the people speakG2980 in tonguesG1100, and 8outsidersG2399 orG2228 unbelieversG571 enterG1525, will they not sayG3004 that 9you areG3105 insaneG3105? 24But ifG1437 allG3956 10prophesyG4395, and an unbelieverG571 orG2228 an 11outsiderG2399 entersG1525, he is 12convictedG1651 by allG3956, he is calledG350 toG350 accountG350 by allG3956; 2513the secretsG2927 of his heartG2588 are disclosedG5318; and soG3779 he will 14fallG4098 on his faceG4383 and worshipG4352 GodG2316, 15declaringG518 that GodG2316 is certainlyG3689 amongG1722 you.

2616WhatG5101 is the outcome thenG3767, 17brothersG80 and sisters? WhenG3752 you assembleG4905, 18eachG1538 oneG1538 hasG2192 a 19psalmG5568, hasG2192 a 20teachingG1322, hasG2192 a 21revelationG602, hasG2192 a 22tongueG1100, hasG2192 an 23interpretationG2058. 24AllG3956 thingsG3956 are to be doneG1096 for edificationG3619. 27IfG1535 anyoneG5100 speaksG2980 in a 25tongueG1100, it must be by twoG1417 orG2228 at the mostG4183 threeG5140, and each one in turnG303G3313, and oneG1520 is to 26interpretG1329; 28but ifG1437 there is noG3361 interpreterG1328, he is to keepG4601 silentG4601 in churchG1577; and have him speakG2980 to himselfG1438 and to GodG2316. 29Have twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 27prophetsG4396 speakG2980, and have the othersG243 28passG1252 judgmentG1252. 30But ifG1437 a revelationG601 isG601 madeG601 to anotherG243 who is seatedG2521, then the firstG4413 one is to keepG4601 silentG4601. 31For you canG1410 allG3956 prophesyG4395 oneG2596G1520 by oneG2596G1520, soG2443 thatG2443 allG3956 may learnG3129 and allG3956 may be 29exhortedG3870; 32and the spiritsG4151 of prophetsG4396 are subjectG5293 to prophetsG4396; 33for GodG2316 is not a God of 30confusionG181, but of peaceG1515.

As in 31allG3956 the churchesG1577 of the 3233saintsG40, 34the womenG1135 are to 34keepG4601 silentG4601 in the churchesG1577; for they are not permittedG2010 to speakG2980, but 35are to subjectG5293 themselves, justG2531 asG2531 36the LawG3551 alsoG2532 saysG3004. 35IfG1487 they desireG2309 to learnG3129 anythingG5100, let them askG1905 their ownG2398 husbandsG435 at homeG3624; for it is 37improperG150 for a womanG1135 to speakG2980 in churchG1577. 36OrG2228 was it from you that the wordG3056 of GodG2316 first wentG1831 outG1831? OrG2228 has it comeG2658 to you onlyG3441?

3738IfG1487 anyoneG5100 thinksG1380 that he is a prophetG4396 orG2228 39spiritualG4152, let him recognizeG1921 that the things whichG3739 I writeG1125 to you 40are the Lord’sG2962 commandmentG1785. 38But ifG1487 anyoneG5100 does not recognizeG50 this, 41he is not recognizedG50.

39ThereforeG5620, my brothersG80 and sisters, 42earnestlyG2206 desireG2206 to 43prophesyG4395, and do not forbidG2967 speakingG2980 in tonguesG1100. 40But 44allG3956 thingsG3956 must be doneG1096 properlyG2156 and in an orderlyG5010 wayG5010.
