14Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.G1377G26G1161G2206G4152G1161G3123G2443G4395 2For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.G1063G2980G1100G2980G3756G444G235G2316G1063G3762G191G1161G4151G2980G3466 3But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.G1161G4395G2980G444G3619G2532G3874G2532G3889 4He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.G2980G1100G3618G1438G1161G4395G3618G1577 5I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.G1161G2309G5209G3956G2980G1100G1161G3123G2443G4395G1063G3187G4395G2228G2980G1100G1622G1508G1329G2443G1577G2983G3619 6But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by knowledge, by prophesying, or by teaching?G1161G3570G80G1437G2064G4314G5209G2980G1100G5101G5623G5209G3362G2980G5213G2228G1722G602G2228G1722G1108G2228G1722G4394G2228G1722G1322 7Even things without life, whether flute or harp, when they make a sound, unless they make a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is piped or played?G3676G895G1325G5456G1535G836G1535G2788G3362G1325G1293G5353G4459G1097G832G2228G2789 8For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle?G1063G2532G1437G4536G1325G82G5456G5101G3903G1519G4171 9So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.G3779G2532G5210G3362G1325G1223G1100G3056G2154G4459G1097G2980G1063G2071G2980G1519G109 10There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without significance.G1487G2076G5177G5118G1085G5456G1722G2889G2532G3762G880G846 11Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me.G3767G3362G1492G3362G1411G5456G2071G2980G915G2532G2980G915G1722G1698 12Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.G2532G3779G5210G1893G2075G2207G4151G2212G2443G4052G4314G3619G1577 13Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret.G1355G2980G1100G4336G2443G1329 14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.G1063G1437G4336G1100G3450G4151G4336G1161G3450G3563G2076G175 15What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.G5101G2076G3767G4336G4151G1161G4336G3563G2532G5567G4151G1161G5567G3563G2532 16Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who occupies the place of the uninformed say "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not understand what you say?G1893G1437G2127G4151G4459G378G5117G2399G2046G281G1909G4674G2169G1894G1492G3756G5101G3004 17For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified.G1063G4771G3303G2168G2573G235G2087G3618G3756G3618 18I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all;G2168G3450G2316G2980G1100G3123G5216G3956 19yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.G235G1722G1577G2309G2980G4002G3056G1223G3450G3563G2443G2727G243G2532G2228G3463G3056G1722G1100 20Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature.G80G1096G3361G3813G5424G235G2549G3515G1161G5424G1096G5046 21In the law it is written: "With men of other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; And yet, for all that, they will not hear Me," says the Lord.G1722G3551G1125G3754G1722G2084G2532G1722G2087G5491G2980G5129G2992G2532G3779G1522G3761G1522G3450G3004G2962 22Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe.G5620G1100G1526G1519G4592G3756G4100G235G571G1161G4394G3756G571G235G4100 23Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you are out of your mind?G1437G3767G3650G1577G4905G1909G846G2532G3956G2980G1100G1161G1525G2399G2228G571G2046G3756G2046G3754G3105 24But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is convicted by all.G1161G1437G3956G4395G1161G1525G5100G571G2228G2399G1651G5259G3956G350G5259G3956 25And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.G2532G3779G1096G2927G846G2588G1096G5318G2532G3779G4098G1909G4383G4352G2316G518G3754G2316G2076G1722G5213G3689 26How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.G5101G2076G3767G80G3752G4905G1538G5216G2192G5568G2192G1322G2192G1100G2192G602G2192G2058G1096G3956G1096G4314G3619 27If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret.G1535G5100G2980G1100G2596G1417G2228G4118G5140G2532G303G3313G2532G1329G1520G1329 28But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.G1161G3362G5600G3362G1328G4601G1722G1577G1161G2980G1438G2532G2316 29Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge.G1161G2980G4396G2980G1417G2228G5140G2532G1252G243G1252 30But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent.G1161G1437G601G243G2521G4601G4413G4601 31For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.G1063G1410G3956G4395G2596G1520G2443G3956G3129G2532G3956G3870 32And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.G2532G4151G4396G5293G4396 33For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.G1063G2316G2076G3756G181G235G1515G5613G1722G3956G1577G40 34Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says.G4601G5216G1135G4601G1722G1577G1063G2010G3756G2010G846G2980G235G5293G2531G2532G3004G3551 35And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.G1161G1487G2309G3129G5100G1905G2398G435G1722G3624G1063G2076G149G1135G2980G1722G1577 36Or did the word of God come originally from you? Or was it you only that it reached?G2228G1831G3056G2316G1831G575G5216G2228G2658G1519G5209G3441 37If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.G1536G1380G1511G4396G2228G4152G1921G3754G3739G1125G5213G1526G1785G2962 38But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.G1161G1536G50G50 39Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues.G5620G80G2206G4395G2532G2967G3361G2980G1100 40Let all things be done decently and in order.G1096G3956G1096G2156G2532G2596G5010
