ylt @1Corinthians:14:1 @Pursue the love , and seek earnestly the spiritual things , and rather that ye may prophecy , ylt @1Corinthians:14:2 @for he who is speaking in an [unknown ] tongue -- to men he doth not speak , but to God , for no one doth hearken , and in spirit he doth speak secrets ; ylt @1Corinthians:14:3 @and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification , and exhortation , and comfort ; ylt @1Corinthians:14:4 @he who is speaking in an [unknown ] tongue , himself doth edify , and he who is prophesying , an assembly doth edify ; ylt @1Corinthians:14:5 @and I wish you all to speak with tongues , and more that ye may prophecy , for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues , except one may interpret , that the assembly may receive edification . ylt @1Corinthians:14:6 @And now , brethren , if I may come unto you speaking tongues , what shall I profit you , except I shall speak to you either in revelation , or in knowledge , or in prophesying , or in teaching ? ylt @1Corinthians:14:7 @yet the things without life giving sound -- whether pipe or harp -- if a difference in the sounds they may not give , how shall be known that which is piped or that which is harped ? ylt @1Corinthians:14:8 @for if also an uncertain sound a trumpet may give , who shall prepare himself for battle ? ylt @1Corinthians:14:9 @so also ye , if through the tongue , speech easily understood ye may not give -- how shall that which is spoken be known ? for ye shall be speaking to air . ylt @1Corinthians:14:10 @There are , it may be , so many kinds of voices in the world , and none of them is unmeaning , ylt @1Corinthians:14:11 @if , then , I do not know the power of the voice , I shall be to him who is speaking a foreigner , and he who is speaking , is to me a foreigner ; ylt @1Corinthians:14:12 @so also ye , since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts , for the building up of the assembly seek that ye may abound ; ylt @1Corinthians:14:13 @wherefore he who is speaking in an [unknown ] tongue -- let him pray that he may interpret ; ylt @1Corinthians:14:14 @for if I pray in an [unknown ] tongue , my spirit doth pray , and my understanding is unfruitful . ylt @1Corinthians:14:15 @What then is it ? I will pray with the spirit , and I will pray also with the understanding ; I will sing psalms with the spirit , and I will sing psalms also with the understanding ; ylt @1Corinthians:14:16 @since , if thou mayest bless with the spirit , he who is filling the place of the unlearned , how shall he say the Amen at thy giving of thanks , since what thou dost say he hath not known ? ylt @1Corinthians:14:17 @for thou , indeed , dost give thanks well , but the other is not built up ! ylt @1Corinthians:14:18 @I give thanks to my God -- more than you all with tongues speaking -- ylt @1Corinthians:14:19 @but in an assembly I wish to speak five words through my understanding , that others also I may instruct , rather than myriads of words in an [unknown ] tongue . ylt @1Corinthians:14:20 @Brethren , become not children in the understanding , but in the evil be ye babes , and in the understanding become ye perfect ; ylt @1Corinthians:14:21 @in the law it hath been written , that , 'With other tongues and with other lips I will speak to this people , and not even so will they hear Me , saith the Lord ;' ylt @1Corinthians:14:22 @so that the tongues are for a sign , not to the believing , but to the unbelieving ; and the prophesy [is ] not for the unbelieving , but for the believing , ylt @1Corinthians:14:23 @If , therefore , the whole assembly may come together , to the same place , and all may speak with tongues , and there may come in unlearned or unbelievers , will they not say that ye are mad ? ylt @1Corinthians:14:24 @and if all may prophecy , and any one may come in , an unbeliever or unlearned , he is convicted by all , he is discerned by all , ylt @1Corinthians:14:25 @and so the secrets of his heart become manifest , and so having fallen upon [his ] face , he will bow before God , declaring that God really is among you . ylt @1Corinthians:14:26 @What then is it , brethren ? whenever ye may come together , each of you hath a psalm , hath a teaching , hath a tongue , hath a revelation , hath an interpretation ? let all things be for building up ; ylt @1Corinthians:14:27 @if an [unknown ] tongue any one do speak , by two , or at the most , by three , and in turn , and let one interpret ; ylt @1Corinthians:14:28 @and if there may be no interpreter , let him be silent in an assembly , and to himself let him speak , and to God . ylt @1Corinthians:14:29 @And prophets -- let two or three speak , and let the others discern , ylt @1Corinthians:14:30 @and if to another sitting [anything ] may be revealed , let the first be silent ; ylt @1Corinthians:14:31 @for ye are able , one by one , all to prophesy , that all may learn , and all may be exhorted , ylt @1Corinthians:14:32 @and the spiritual gift of prophets to prophets are subject , ylt @1Corinthians:14:33 @for God is not [a God ] of tumult , but of peace , as in all the assemblies of the saints . ylt @1Corinthians:14:34 @Your women in the assemblies let them be silent , for it hath not been permitted to them to speak , but to be subject , as also the law saith ; ylt @1Corinthians:14:35 @and if they wish to learn anything , at home their own husbands let them question , for it is a shame to women to speak in an assembly . ylt @1Corinthians:14:36 @From you did the word of God come forth ? or to you alone did it come ? ylt @1Corinthians:14:37 @if any one doth think to be a prophet , or spiritual , let him acknowledge the things that I write to you -- that of the Lord they are commands ; ylt @1Corinthians:14:38 @and if any one is ignorant -- let him be ignorant ; ylt @1Corinthians:14:39 @so that , brethren , earnestly desire to prophesy , and to speak with tongues do not forbid ; ylt @1Corinthians:14:40 @let all things be done decently and in order .
