46_1CO_14_01 follow after charity , And desire spiritual [ gifts ] , but rather that ye may prophesy .
46_1CO_14_02 for he that speaketh in an [ unknown ] tongue speaketh not unto men , but unto God : for no man understandeth [ him ] ; Howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries .
46_1CO_14_03 but he that prophesieth speaketh unto men [ to ] edification , And exhortation , And comfort .
46_1CO_14_04 he that speaketh in an [ unknown ] tongue edifieth himself ; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church .
46_1CO_14_05 I would that ye all spake with tongues , but rather that ye prophesied : for greater [ Is ] he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues , except he interpret , that the church may receive edifying .
46_1CO_14_06 now , brethren , if I come unto you speaking with tongues , what shall I profit you , except I shall speak to you either by revelation , or by knowledge , or by prophesying , or by doctrine ?
46_1CO_14_07 And even things without life giving sound , whether pipe or harp , except they give A distinction in the sounds , how shall it be known what Is piped or harped ?
46_1CO_14_08 for if the trumpet give an uncertain sound , who shall prepare himself to the battle ?
46_1CO_14_09 So Likewise ye , except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood , how shall it be known what Is spoken ? for ye shall speak into the air .
46_1CO_14_10 there are , it may be , So Many kinds of voices in the world , And none of them [ Is ] without signification .
46_1CO_14_11 therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice , I shall be unto him that speaketh A Barbarian , And he that speaketh [ shall be ] A Barbarian unto me .
46_1CO_14_12 even So ye , Forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual [ gifts ] , seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church .
46_1CO_14_13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an [ unknown ] tongue pray that he may interpret .
46_1CO_14_14 for if I pray in an [ unknown ] tongue , my spirit prayeth , but my understanding Is unfruitful .
46_1CO_14_15 what Is it Then ? 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 .
46_1CO_14_16 else when thou shalt bless with the spirit , how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks , seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest ?
46_1CO_14_17 for thou Verily givest thanks Well , but the other Is not edified .
46_1CO_14_18 I thank my God , I speak with tongues more than ye all :
46_1CO_14_19 yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding , that [ by my voice ] I might teach others also , than ten thousand words in an [ unknown ] tongue .
46_1CO_14_20 brethren , be not children in understanding : Howbeit in malice be ye children , but in understanding be men .
46_1CO_14_21 in the law it Is written , with [ men of ] other tongues And other lips will I speak unto this people ; And yet for all that will they not hear me , saith the LORD .
46_1CO_14_22 Wherefore tongues are for A sign , not to them that believe , but to them that believe not : but prophesying [ serveth ] not for them that believe not , but for them which believe .
46_1CO_14_23 if therefore the whole church be come together into one place , And all speak with tongues , And there come in [ those that are ] unlearned , or unbelievers , will they not say that ye are mad ?
46_1CO_14_24 but if all prophesy , And there come in one that believeth not , or [ one ] unlearned , he Is convinced of all , he Is judged of all :
46_1CO_14_25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest ; And So falling down on [ his ] face he will worship God , And report that God Is in you of A truth .
46_1CO_14_26 how Is it Then , brethren ? when ye come together , every one of you hath A Psalm , hath A doctrine , hath A tongue , hath A revelation , hath an interpretation . let all things be done unto edifying .
46_1CO_14_27 if any man speak in an [ unknown ] tongue , [ let it be ] by two , or at the most [ by ] three , And [ that ] by course ; And let one interpret .
46_1CO_14_28 but if there be no interpreter , let him keep silence in the church ; And let him speak to himself , And to God .
46_1CO_14_29 let the prophets speak two or three , And let the other judge .
46_1CO_14_30 if [ any thing ] be revealed to another that sitteth by , let the first hold his peace .
46_1CO_14_31 for ye may all prophesy one by one , that all may learn , And all may be comforted .
46_1CO_14_32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets .
46_1CO_14_33 for God Is not [ the author ] of confusion , but of peace , as in all churches of the saints .
46_1CO_14_34 let your women keep silence in the churches : for it Is not permitted unto them to speak ; but [ they are commanded ] to be under obedience , as also saith the law .
46_1CO_14_35 And if they will learn any thing , let them ask their husbands at home : for it Is A shame for women to speak in the church .
46_1CO_14_36 what ? came the word of God out from you ? or came it unto you only ?
46_1CO_14_37 if any man think himself to be A prophet , or spiritual , let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the LORD .
46_1CO_14_38 but if any man be ignorant , let him be ignorant .
46_1CO_14_39 Wherefore , brethren , covet to prophesy , And forbid not to speak with tongues .
46_1CO_14_40 let all things be done decently And in order .
