1 Corinthians 14
1 Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
do earnestly pursue love; do earnestly desire now spiritual gifts, especially now that you may prophesy.
2 For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
The [one] for speaking in a tongue not to men speaks but to God; no [one] for hears, in the Spirit however he utters mysteries;
3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
The [one] however prophesying to men speaks [for] edification and encouragement and consolation.
4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
The [one] speaking in a tongue himself edifies, the [one] however prophesying [the] church edifies.
5 Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but even more that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.
I desire now all you to speak in tongues, rather however that you may prophesy; greater [is] (now *N+kO) the [one] prophesying than the [one] speaking in tongues except only unless (he shall interpret, *NK+o) so that the church edification may receive.
6 But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
(now *N+kO) however brothers, if I shall come to you in tongues speaking, what you will I profit, only unless to you I shall speak either in revelation or in knowledge or in prophecy or in teaching?
7 Even lifeless things that make a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they didn’t give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?
Even lifeless things a sound giving, whether flute or harp, if distinction to the sounds not (they shall give, *NK+O) how will it be known what is being piped or what is being harped?
8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
Also for if indistinct [the] trumpet sound shall give, who will prepare himself for battle?
9 So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.
So also you yourselves with the tongue only unless intelligible speech you shall give, how will it be known what [is] being spoken? You will be for into [the] air speaking.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
So many if it would be kinds of languages (there are *N+kO) in [the] world, and none (of them *k) without meaning;
11 If then I don’t know the meaning of the language, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.
If therefore not I shall know the power of the sound, I will be to the [one] speaking a foreigner and the [one] speaking to me myself a foreigner;
12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
So also you yourselves, since zealous you are of spiritual gifts, for the edification of the church do seek that you may exceed.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
(For *N+kO) the [one] speaking in a tongue he should pray that he may interpret.
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
If for I shall pray in a tongue, the spirit of mine prays, but the mind of mine unfruitful is.
15 What should I do? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
What then is it? I will pray with the spirit, I will pray however also with the mind; I will sing praise with the spirit, I will sing praise however also with the mind.
16 Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say?
Otherwise if (you shall bless in [the] *N+kO) spirit, the [one] filling the place of the uninstructed how will he say the Amen at your thanksgiving? since what you say [is that] not he knows;
17 For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
You yourself truly for well are giving thanks, but the other not is edified.
18 I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.
I thank the God (of mine *k) than all of you more (in tongues *NK+O) (speaking; *N+kO)
19 However, in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.
but in [the] church I desire five words (through *k) (the with mind *N+kO) of mine to speak that also others I may instruct, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.
20 Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
Brothers, not children do be in the minds, Yet in the evil do be little children, in the however thinking full grown do be.
21 In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They won’t even listen to me that way, says the Lord.”
In the law it has been written that By other tongues and by lips (of others *N+KO) I will speak to the people this, and not even thus will they hear Me, says [the] Lord.
22 Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.
So then tongues for a sign are not to those believing but to the unbelieving, but prophecy [is] not to the unbelieving but to the believing.
23 If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?
If therefore shall gather the church whole together the place and all shall speak in tongues may come in however uninstructed ones or unbelievers, surely they will say that you are mad?
24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
If however all shall prophesy, shall come in then some unbeliever or uninstructed, he is convicted by all, he is examined by all,
25 And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.
(and thus *K) the secrets of the heart of him manifest become, And thus having fallen upon [his] face he will worship God declaring that certainly God among you is.
26 What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, or has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.
What then is it, brothers? When you may come together, each (of you *K) a psalm has, a teaching has, a revelation has, a tongue has, an interpretation has; All things for edification (should be. *N+kO)
27 If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
If with a tongue anyone speaks, [let it be] by two or the most three and in turn; and one should interpret;
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.
If however not there shall be an interpreter, he should be silent in [the] church, to himself then he should speak and to God.
29 Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.
Prophets then two or three should speak, and the others should discern;
30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
If however to another a revelation shall be made sitting by, the first should be silent.
31 For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
You are able for [one] by one all to prophesy, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted;
32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
And spirits of prophets to prophets are subject;
33 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
Not for He is of disorder the God but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
34 Let the wives be quiet in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to be talking except in submission, as the law also says,
the women (of you *K) in the churches they should be silent; Not for (it is allowed *N+kO) to them to speak, but (they should be submitted *N+kO) even as also the law says.
35 if they desire to learn anything. “Let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a wife to be talking in the assembly.”
If however anything (to learn *NK+o) they desire, at home [their] own husbands they should ask; shameful for it is (for a woman *N+KO) to speak in [the] church.
36 What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
Or from you the word of God has gone out? Or to you only has it come?
37 If any man thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.
If anyone considers a prophet himself to be or spiritual, he should recognize [the] things I write to you that (of the *k) Lord (is [the] command; *N+KO)
38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
If however anyone is ignorant, (him is ignored. *N+kO)
39 Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.
So, brothers (of mine, *no) do earnestly desire to prophesy, and to speak not do forbid in tongues.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
All things (however *no) properly and with order should be done.
