1
Pursue
love,
yet
desire earnestly
spiritual
gifts, but especially
that you may prophesy.
2
For one who speaks
in a tongue
does not speak
to men
but to God;
for no one
understands,
but in his spirit
he speaks
mysteries.
3
But one who prophesies
speaks
to men
for edification
and exhortation
and consolation.
4
One who speaks
in a tongue
edifies
himself;
but one who prophesies
edifies
the church.
5
Now
I wish
that you all
spoke
in tongues,
but even more
that you would prophesy;
and greater
is one who prophesies
than
one who speaks
in tongues,
unless
he interprets,
so
that the church
may receive
edifying.
6
But now,
brethren,
if
I come
to you speaking
in tongues,
what
will I profit
you unless
I speak
to you either
by way
of revelation
or
of knowledge
or
of prophecy
or
of teaching?
7
Yet
even l
if
eless things,
either
flute
or
harp,
in producing
a sound,
if
they do not produce
a distinction
in the tones,
how
will it be known
what is played on the
flute
or
on the harp?
8
For if
the bugle
produces
an indistinct
sound,
who
will prepare
himself for battle?
9
So
also
you, unless
you utter
by the tongue
speech
that is clear,
how
will it be known
what is spoken?
For you will be speaking
into the air.
10
There are, perhaps,
a great many
kinds
of languages
in the world,
and no
kind is without meaning.
11
If
then
I do not know
the meaning
of the language,
I will be to the one who speaks
a barbarian,
and the one who speaks
will be a barbarian
to me.
12
So
also
you, since
you are zealous
of spiritual
gifts, seek
to abound
for the edification
of the church.
13
Therefore
let one who speaks
in a tongue
pray
that he may interpret.
14
For if
I pray
in a tongue,
my spirit
prays,
but my mind
is unfruitful.
15
What
is the outcome then?
I will pray
with the spirit
and
I will pray
with the mind
also;
I will sing
with the spirit
and
I will sing
with the mind
also.
16
Otherwise
if
you bless
in the spirit
only, how
will the one who fills
the place
of the ungifted
say
the "Amen "
at your giving of thanks,
since
he does not know
what
you are saying?
17
For you are giving thanks
well enough,
but the other person
is not edified.
18
I thank
God,
I speak
in tongues
more
than you all;
19
however,
in the church
I desire
to speak
five
words
with my mind
so
that I may instruct
others
also,
rather than
ten thousand
words
in a tongue.
20
Brethren,
do not be children
in your thinking;
yet
in evil
be infants,
but in your thinking
be mature.
21
In the Law
it is written,
"BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUES
AND BY THE LIPS
OF STRANGERS
I WILL SPEAK
TO THIS
PEOPLE,
AND EVEN
SO
THEY WILL NOT LISTEN
TO ME," says
the Lord.
22
So then
tongues
are for a sign,
not to those
who believe
but to unbelievers;
but prophecy
is for a sign, not to unbelievers
but to those
who believe
.
23
Theref
or
e
if
the whole
church
assembles
together
and all
speak
in tongues,
and ung
if
ted men
or
unbelievers
enter,
will they not say
that you are mad?
24
But if
all
prophesy,
and an unbeliever
or
an ungifted man
enters,
he is convicted
by
all
,
he is c
all
ed to account
by
all
;
25
the secrets
of his heart
are disclosed;
and so
he will fall
on his face
and worship
God,
declaring
that God
is certainly
among
you.
26
What
is the outcome then,
brethren?
When
you assemble,
each one
has
a psalm,
has
a teaching,
has
a revelation,
has
a tongue,
has
an interpretation.
Let all things
be done
for edification.
27
If
anyone
speaks
in a tongue,
it should be by two
or
at the most
three,
and each in turn,
and one
must interpret;
28
but if
there is no
interpreter,
he must keep silent
in the church;
and let him speak
to himself
and to God.
29
Let two
or
three
prophets
speak,
and let the others
pass judgment.
30
But if
a revelation is made
to another
who is seated,
the first
one must keep silent.
31
For you can
all
prophesy
one
by
one
,
so
that
all
may learn
and
all
may be exhorted;
32
and the spirits
of prophets
are subject
to prophets;
33
for God
is not a God of confusion
but of peace,
as in all
the churches
of the saints.
34
The women
are to keep silent
in the churches;
for they are not permitted
to speak,
but are to subject
themselves, just
as the Law
also
says.
35
If
they desire
to learn
anything,
let them ask
their own
husbands
at home;
for it is improper
for a woman
to speak
in church.
36
Was it from you that the word
of God
first went forth?
Or
has it come
to you only?
37
If
anyone
thinks
he is a prophet
or
spiritual,
let him recognize
that the things which
I write
to you are the Lord's
commandment.
38
But if
anyone
does not recognize
this, he is not recognized.
39
Therefore,
my brethren,
desire earnestly
to prophesy,
and do not forbid
to speak
in tongues.
40
But all things
must be done
properly
and in an orderly manner.
