1 Corinthians 14

1Follow afterG1377 charityG3588G26, andG1161 desireG2206 spiritualG4152 gifts, butG1161 ratherG3123 thatG2443 ye may prophesyG4395. 2ForG1063 he thatG3588 speakethG2980 in anG1100 unknown tongueG1100 speakethG2980 notG3756 unto menG444, butG235 unto GodG3588G2316: forG1063 noG3762 man understandethG191 him; howbeitG1161 in the spiritG4151 he speakethG2980 mysteriesG3466. 3ButG1161 he thatG3588 prophesiethG4395 speakethG2980 unto menG444 to edificationG3619, andG2532 exhortationG3874, andG2532 comfortG3889. 4He thatG3588 speakethG2980 in anG1100 unknown tongueG1100 edifiethG3618 himselfG1438; butG1161 he thatG3588 prophesiethG4395 edifiethG3618 the AssemblyG1577. 5I wouldG2309 that yeG4771 allG3956 spakeG2980 with tonguesG1100, butG1161 even moreG3123 thatG2443 ye prophesiedG4395: forG1063 greaterG3173 is he thatG3588 prophesiethG4395 thanG2228 he thatG3588 speakethG2980 with tonguesG1100, exceptG1622 he interpretG1329, thatG2443 the AssemblyG3588G1577 may receiveG2983 edifyingG3619. 6

NowG3570, brethrenG80, ifG1437 I comeG2064 untoG4314 youG4771 speakingG2980 with tonguesG1100, whatG5101 shall I profitG5623 youG4771, exceptG1437 I shall speakG2980 to youG4771 eitherG2228 byG1722 revelationG602, orG2228 byG1722 knowledgeG1108, orG2228 byG1722 prophesyingG4394, orG2228 byG1722 doctrineG1322? 7And evenG3676 thingsG3588 without lifeG895 givingG1325 soundG5456, whetherG1535 pipeG836 orG1535 harpG2788, exceptG1437 they giveG1325 a distinctionG1293 in the soundsG3588G5353, howG4459 shall it be knownG1097 whatG3588 is pipedG832 orG2228 harpedG2789? 8ForG1063 ifG1437 the trumpetG4536 giveG1325 an uncertainG82 soundG5456, whoG5101 shall prepare himselfG3903 toG1519 the battleG4171? 9SoG3779 likewiseG2532 yeG4771, exceptG1437 ye utterG1325 byG1223 the tongueG3588G1100 wordsG3056 easyG2154 to beG1510 understoodG2154, howG4459 shall it be knownG1097 whatG3588 is spokenG2980? forG1063 ye shall speakG2980 intoG1519 the airG109. 10There areG1510, it mayG1487 beG5177, so manyG5118 kindsG1085 of voicesG5456 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG2532 noneG3762 of themG846 is without significationG880. 11ThereforeG3767 ifG1437 I knowG1492 notG3361 the meaningG3588G1411 of the voiceG3588G5456, I shall beG1510 unto himG3588 that speakethG2980 a barbarianG915, andG2532 heG3588 that speakethG2980 shall be a barbarianG915 untoG1722 meG1473.

12EvenG2532 soG3779 yeG4771, forasmuch asG1893 ye areG1510 zealousG2207 of spiritualG4151 gifts, seekG2212 thatG2443 ye may excelG4052 toG4314 the edifyingG3588G3619 of the AssemblyG3588G1577. 13WhereforeG1355 let himG3588 that speakethG2980 in anG1100 unknown tongueG1100 prayG4336 thatG2443 he may interpretG1329. 14ForG1063 ifG1437 I prayG4336 in anG1100 unknown tongueG1100, myG1473 spiritG3588G4151 prayethG4336, butG1161 myG1473 understandingG3563 isG1510 unfruitfulG175. 15WhatG5101 is itG1510 thenG3767? I will prayG4336 with the spiritG3588G4151, andG1161 I will prayG4336 with the understandingG3588G3563 alsoG2532: I will singG5567 with the spiritG3588G4151, andG1161 I will singG5567 with the understandingG3588G3563 alsoG2532. 16ElseG1893 whenG1437 thou shalt blessG2127 with the spiritG3588G4151, howG4459 shallG378 he thatG3588 occupiethG378 the roomG3588G5117 of the unlearnedG3588G2399 sayG2046 AmenG281 atG1909 thyG4674 giving of thanksG2169, seeingG1894 he understandethG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 thou sayestG3004? 17ForG1063 thouG4771 verilyG3303 givest thanksG2168 wellG2573, butG235 the otherG2087 isG3618 notG3756 edifiedG3618. 18I thankG2168 myG1473 GodG3588G2316, I speakG2980 with tonguesG1100 more thanG3123 yeG4771 allG3956: 19YetG235 inG1722 the AssemblyG1577 I had ratherG2309 speakG2980 fiveG4002 wordsG3056 withG1223 myG1473 understandingG3588G3563, thatG2443 by my voice I might teachG2727 othersG243 alsoG2532, thanG2228 ten thousandG3463 wordsG3056 inG1722 anG1100 unknown tongueG1100. 20BrethrenG80, beG1096 notG3361 childrenG3813 in understandingG3588G5424: howbeitG235 in maliceG3588G2549 be ye childrenG3515, butG1161 in understandingG3588G5424 beG1096 menG5046.

21InG1722 the lawG3588G3551 it is writtenG1125, WithG1722 men of other tonguesG2084 andG2532 otherG2087 lipsG5491 will I speakG2980 unto thisG3778 peopleG3588G2992; andG2532 yet for all thatG3779 will theyG1522 notG3761 hearG1522 meG1473, saithG3004 the LordG2962. 22WhereforeG5620 tonguesG3588G1100 areG1510 forG1519 a signG4592, notG3756 to themG3588 that believeG4100, butG235 to themG3588 that believe notG571: butG1161 prophesyingG4394 serveth notG3756 for themG3588 that believe notG571, butG235 for themG3588 which believeG4100. 23

IfG1437 thereforeG3767 the wholeG3650 AssemblyG3588G1577 be come togetherG4905 intoG1909 one placeG846, andG2532 allG3956 speakG2980 with tonguesG1100, andG1161 there come inG1525 those that are unlearnedG2399, orG2228 unbelieversG571, will theyG2046 notG3756 sayG2046 thatG3754 ye are madG3105? 24ButG1161 ifG1437 allG3956 prophesyG4395, andG1161 there come inG1525 oneG5100 that believeth notG571, orG2228 one unlearnedG2399, he is convincedG1651 ofG5259 allG3956, he is judgedG350 ofG5259 allG3956: 25AndG2532 thusG3779 areG1096 the secretsG2927 of hisG846 heartG3588G2588 madeG1096 manifestG5318; andG2532 soG3779 falling downG4098 onG1909 his faceG4383 he will worshipG4352 GodG3588G2316, and reportG518 thatG3754 GodG3588G2316 isG1510 inG1722 youG4771 of a truthG3689.

26HowG5101 is itG1510 thenG3767, brethrenG80? whenG3752 ye come togetherG4905, every oneG1538 of youG4771 hathG2192 a psalmG5568, hathG2192 a doctrineG1322, hathG2192 a tongueG1100, hathG2192 a revelationG602, hathG2192 an interpretationG2058. LetG1096 all thingsG3956 be doneG1096 untoG4314 edifyingG3619. 27IfG1535 any manG5100 speakG2980 inG2596 anG1100 unknown tongueG1100, let it be byG303 twoG1417, orG2228 at the mostG4118 by threeG5140, andG2532 that by courseG3313; andG2532 letG1329 oneG1520 interpretG1329. 28ButG1161 ifG1437 there beG1510 noG3361 interpreterG1328, let him keep silenceG4601 inG1722 the AssemblyG1577; andG1161 let him speakG2980 to himselfG1438, andG2532 to GodG3588G2316. 29LetG1161 the prophetsG4396 speakG2980 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140, andG2532 letG1252 the otherG243 judgeG1252. 30IfG1437 any thing be revealedG601 to anotherG243 that sitteth byG2521, letG4601 the firstG4413 hold his peaceG4601. 31ForG1063 ye mayG1410 allG3956 prophesyG4395 oneG1520 byG2596 oneG1520, thatG2443 allG3956 may learnG3129, andG2532 allG3956 may be comfortedG3870. 32AndG2532 the spiritsG4151 of the prophetsG4396 are subjectG5293 to the prophetsG4396. 33ForG1063 GodG3588G2316 isG1510 notG3756 the author of confusionG181, butG235 of peaceG1515, asG5613 inG1722 allG3956 AssembliesG3588G1577 of the saintsG40.

34Let yourG4771 womenG3588G1135 keep silenceG4601 inG1722 the AssembliesG3588G1577: forG1063 it isG2010 notG3756 permittedG2010 unto themG846 to speakG2980; butG235 they are commanded to be under obedienceG5293, asG2531 alsoG2532 saithG3004 the lawG3588G3551. 35AndG1161 ifG1487 they willG2309 learnG3129 any thingG5100, let them askG1905 theirG2398 husbandsG435 atG1722 homeG3624: forG1063 it isG1510 a shameG150 for womenG1135 to speakG2980 inG1722 the AssemblyG1577. 36WhatG2228? cameG1831 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316 outG1831 fromG575 youG4771? orG2228 came itG2658 untoG1519 youG4771 onlyG3441? 37IfG1487 any manG5100 think himselfG1380 to beG1510 a prophetG4396, orG2228 spiritualG4152, let him acknowledgeG1921 that the thingsG3739 thatG3754 I writeG1125 unto youG4771 areG1510 the commandmentsG1785 of the LordG3588G2962. 38ButG1161 ifG1487 any manG5100 be ignorantG50, let him be ignorantG50. 39

WhereforeG5620, brethrenG80, covetG2206 to prophesyG4395, andG2532 forbidG2967 notG3361 to speakG2980 with tonguesG1100. 40Let all thingsG3956 be doneG1096 decentlyG2156 andG2532 inG2596 orderG5010.
