orthjbc - 1Corinthians:14:1-20

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:1 @ Pursue ahavah (note:)agape(:note), and eagerly desire the things of Ruach Hakodesh matnot haRuach Hakodesh, and especially that you may speak forth a dvar hanevu'ah word of prophecy.

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For the one speaking in a lashon (note:)tongue(:note) speaks not to bnei Adam but to Hashem; for no one grasps with their ears, but the speaker speaks sodot mysteries.

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:3 @ However, the one speaking forth divrei nevu'ah (note:)words of prophecy(:note) speaks to bnei Adam for chizzuk strengthening and immutz encouragement and nechamah comfort.

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:4 @ The one speaking in a lashon (note:)tongue(:note) edifies himself; but, the one speaking forth a dvar hanevu'ah word of prophecy edifies a kehillah.

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:5 @ Now I desire all of you to speak in leshonot (note:)tongues(:note), and even more that you may speak forth a dvar hanevu'ah word of prophecyBamidbar strkjv@11:29. Now greater is the one speaking forth a dvar nevu'ah word of prophecy than the one speaking in leshonot, unless he gives the petron interpretation of the leshonot tongues, that the kehillah congregation may receive the edification.

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:6 @ But now, Achim b'Moshiach, if I come to you speaking in leshonot (note:)tongues(:note), what will I benefit you unless I speak to you either with a dvar hitgalut a dvar of revelation or with a dvar da'as or with a dvar nevu'ah or with a dvar hora'ah word of teaching?

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:7 @ You have da'as about the inanimate flute or harp: they speak sounds but but if they do not articulate a distinction in the notes, how will it be known what is being played on the flute or on the harp?

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:8 @ Indeed, if a shofar gives an unclear trumpet-call, who will prepare himself for kerav (note:)battle(:note)? [Bamidbar strkjv@10:9; Yirmeyah strkjv@4:19]

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:9 @ So also unless you by your lashon (note:)tongue(:note) render an intelligible dvar Torah, how will the thing being uttered be known? For you will be merely speaking into the air.

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:10 @ There are doubtless many kinds of foreign languages in the Olam Hazeh, and not one is meaningless.

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:11 @ If, therefore, I do not have da'as the meaning of the language, I will be to the speaker a foreigner and the speaker will be a foreigner with me. [Bereshis strkjv@11:7]

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:12 @ So also you, als (note:)since(:note) you have a kinat hamatnot haRuach Hakodesh zeal for gifts of the Ruach Hakodesh, endeavor to abound in them for the edification of the Kehillah congregation.

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:13 @ Therefore, the speaker in a lashon (note:)tongue(:note), let him offer tefillos that he may give the petron interpretation.

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:14 @ For if I daven (note:)pray(:note) in a lashon, my nashamah davens, but my sikhliyut rationality lies shemitah fallow.

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:15 @ Nu? (note:)Well?(:note) I will daven [in leshonot] with my nashamah, and I will daven also with my sechel; I will sing [in leshonot] with my nashamah, and I will sing niggunim also with my seichel.

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:16 @ Otherwise, if you make a beracha [in leshonot] with your neshamah, how will the am haAretz, who have no idea what you are saying, answer the "Omein"? [Devarim strkjv@27:15:26; Divrey Hayamim Alef strkjv@16:36; Nechemyah strkjv@8:6; Tehillim strkjv@106:48]

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:17 @ For indeed you make the beracha well enough, but the other is not being edified.

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:18 @ Modeh Ani Hashem that I speak in leshonot more than all of you,

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:19 @ but in a kehillah I want to speak five words with my sikhliyut (note:)rationality(:note), that also others I may instruct with a dvar hora'ah word of teaching, rather than speak ten thousand words in a lashon tongue.

orthjbc@1Corinthians:14:20 @ Achim b'Moshiach, be not yeladim in your machshavot (note:)thoughts(:note); infantile in kavvanah ra'ah malice, perhaps, but in your binah, oisvaks mature, develop. [Yirmeyah strkjv@4:22]
